The form backer can't do without the Pocket Turf Register. Now published. The second .tunnel through I the Simplon is expected to be ready for traffic, •this summer. Traffio between the Channel ports and those of the Mediterranean should then receive a gfeat stimulus. The new tunnel was actually pierced simultaneously with the first tunnol to facilitate the aeration of-the workings.' But its transformation from a_ mere gallery into an international high road was started only .in December, ISI2. • Colossal difficulties, were, efcflountei d in making the first tunnel Greatyiiot springs had to be harnessed and cjftalised. At a spot about 2} miles . from, the Italian opening the rock pressure was so great that 18 months was spent in advancing the boring 50 yards, at a cost of £160,000. Each tunnel is 12J miles long, of'which 5J r miles i's on Swiss territory. The first tunnel, including the "allery for the second, cost approximately £3,500,000. The estimated'cost of the second is £1j350,000. Both tunnels are 16 feet high. Thanks to electric traction, the Simplon is the cleanest tunnel of any length in Europe.
MISS ELLA AIBLXJB (From photo. ft W, \ MISS ELLA AIRLIE, The Composer of "The Bunyip." PRAISES Dr. Sheldon's Magnetic Liniment "I guess everyone has Neuralgia at soma time or other. I had an attack the other night of Neuralgia and. Toothache at the same time, and it nearly drove me mad. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Sheldon's Magnetic Liniment, and I was delighted with the results I obtained from the use of it; tlie pain ceased almost immediately. I rubbed it on my forehead, cheek, and neck, and a little round the gums of the tooth that was bothering me, and ic lesß than half an hour's time 1 was 'quite relieved, and enjoyed a. good night's sleep. 1 had one recurrence since, and again used the Magnetic Liniment with equally good results. It certainly destroys pain in a most marrellons fashion. "Did you know that Magnetic Liniment would cure sandfly bites at once? A girl friend of mine recently went surfing, and was bitten by saqfiflies on the hand three times. She was so troubled with the itching that she told me, and I at once got my bottle of Magnetic Liniment and rubbed some on the bites. It »t once took out the itching and soreness. She has bought a bottle of your Magnetic Liniment too now, and is quite as enthusiastic as I am about it. Magnetic Liniment deserves success. "Tours truly, (Sgd.) " ELW AIRLIE." Dr. SHELDON'S MAGNETIC LINIMENT Banishes All Paia. m m
