Says the Auckland “Weekly”:- “ I’cople down at Hokitika are inquiring why, at a local celebration with Scottish flavour, the lion rampant of Scotland, was discovered lying on its hack with its feet in the air. Tin answer is easy. Every day. in eve. way. the world is growing more peaceable—though not so that everybody can notice it. Border raids have ceased. The Highlander no longer sends round the fiery cross, nor descends upon lii> Lowland neighbour in pursuance of the laudable policy, “ Eat more beef.” Therefore, the lion of Scotland, catching the pacific sentiment of the times, abandons his Jack Dempsey attitude, rolls over on his hack and invites people to scratch him underneath. The -No .More War League should adopt him as a crest.” A true and tried remedy for coughs, colds, inllueiv'-a, and sore throat is “XAZOL.” 60 doses Is 6d.
