Though fully five thousand immigrants have reached New Zealand from England during the past three months, there has been little or no difficulty about their absorption ■ into the working population of the Dominion. Reports received by the Labour Department from its agents throughout the country indicate that work has bean found for almost every applicant, and that the demand for workers is likely to increase as the season advances. It is unfortunately true that between 60 and 70 per cent, of the immigrants have gone to swell the population of the towns; but as a general rule all those fitted by experience for country work have gone to the country. Among recent arrivals have been many skilled tradesmen, and it has become a common and increasing practice for employers to meet vessels and actually look for women. In a number of instances men booked to other ports have been induce to stay at the town first reached by the majority of incoming liners, and it is said that this practice by employers has led to many complaints in the south. Many things are advertised to cure colds. Tonking's Linseed Emulsion does it. Everywhere, 1/6,2/6, 4/6.
