In. the course of a letter from London received by Mr. H. F. Allen, of Wellington, an incident was related which illustrates the perfection of the police control of traffic in the streets of • the metropolis (says the Dominion). It was nearly II a.m. when the hand was hoisted by the policeman on duty opposite the gate of Buckingham Palace. The traffic immediately began to pile up, and bus-drivers, hawkers, taxi-drivers, and furniture van men at the back began to ask why, after the customary two minutes had elapsed. But three, four, even five minutes passed and the block was on, without the mystery being explained. Six, seven minutes —then the hand was dropped and the long line of vehicles moved on once more. On inquiry being made as to the cause of the hold-up, it was divulged by the smiling policeman that some weeks before a duck from the lake in St. James’s Park had crossed over to the Buckingham Palace gardens, and in their cool seclusion had hatched out a brood of ducklings. It was the march back of the mother duck to teach her brood to swim in the lake which had caused the hold-up.

Everyone is in splendid health and spirits, thanks to those two bottles of Baxter’s Lung Preserver you smuggled into my travelling ease. Mrs J. and her daughter and some other friends caught slight colds on the voyage, and my ‘Baxter’s’ was in great demand. You might send a further supply of this stuff to our London address, as I wouldn’t be without ‘Baxter’s’ for pounds!” This person has travelled all round the world, yet, like thousands of others, she puts her faith in “Baxter’s” as the one real genuine remedy for colds, influenza, coughs and other similar complaints. A dose or two of this sterling specific keeps the worst colds and chest ailments at bay. “Baxter’s also acts as a beneficial buildingup tonic. A generous-sized bottle can be obtained from any chemist or store for 2/6; or, better still, get the family size at 4/6, —B2
