AUSTRALIAN MEAT EATERS. Australasians are such heavy meat eaters that we are fast becoming a nation of dyspeptics, and it is telling on the general health of the country. Constipation is the forerunner of this complaint, and if you have any signs of it you should not hesitate to get a box of Chamberlain’s Tablets at once. They are a positive cure for this complaint. For sale everywhere.—Advt.

ia Pri»e« In order to make still more widely known the remarkable curative prnbcrlits of Tonking’s Linseed Emulsion, the proprietor of that famous remedy for coughs, colds, and chest complaints offers the above generous prizes and invites yon to compete in one, two, or all of the following competitions. TONKING'S LINSEED EMULSION TRIPLES COMPETITION.

Tonklng's Cures Speedily 2. Coughs and Colds 3. Baby’s Troublesome Cough— As an illustration, take the phrase “Hanging The Picture”; it might be completed by “ Tries Henry’s Patience ” (the three initials H.T.P. being the same). will he awarded to the person who completes the three triples in the most appropriate manner ; or if no one succeeds with the three, then prize will be given for the best completion of one or two (as the case may be). The five solutions next in merit will win 10/- each; the next ten will receive 5/- each. TONKING’S LINSEED EMULSION ACROSTIC COMPETITION. Required to form a sentence, the initial letter of each word to be the eight letters in “ Tonking’s,” and in the same order. To illustrate: Suppose the acrostic was to be built upon “ Yuletide ” ; a sentence meeting the requirement would be “ Youthful, Unsophisticated Lovers Enjoy Themselves Immensely During Evenings.” A prize of £lO will be awarded for the best sentence formed, or if no complete sentence of eight words is made, then prize will go to the person extending the best sentence or phrase furthest along the word “ Tonking’s.” The secondary prizes consist of five of 10/- each and ten of 5/- each.

TONKING’S LINSEED EMULSION £IOO PUBLIC PRIZE With each solution of above prizes, you are entitled to vote for some “worthy object ” in your vicinit}' or in the Dominion, the one receiving the most votes to be awarded a cash prize of For each competition use a separate sheet of paper; then after your solution add something like this: “ I vote that the prize be awarded to Miss X. Brown, of Lyunville, for vacation tour, etc.” Should you wish to vote only for the public prize, you may omit the competition solutions, and will then be credited with two votes. You may vote for any person or good cause in which you are interested, such as giving a popular school-teacher a vacation trip (as suggested in above example); donating )dloo to a family left destitute ; helping to erect a town clock, or beautifying your own town ; aiding the local hospital funds, or apy commendable public or private charity. There are hundreds of worthy uses to which >£loo can be devoted. In order that contestants in the smaller communities may be under no disadvantage, it is provided that that “worthy object” shall receive the /100 which obtains the most votes in proportion to the population of the electorate in which the object is located. CONTEST CONDITIONS. —The nature of the Competitions will almost certainly prevent exact ties, but if two or more chosen solutions are absolutely identical, the prize will be divided. It is not expected, however, that cases of this kind will occur unless one contestant copies from another. No correspondence can be entered into, as all competitors must be guided alike by these printed conditions. Each solution or vote must be accompanied by a panel of the box around a bottle of Tonking’s Linseed Emulsion. If from sin..ll bottle, the panel must contain the words “Gives Immediate Relief.” Either front or hack panel from 2/6 bottles win serve, or both will entitle to two separate replies or votes. A complete box from 4/6 size will give three entries. Yon may send in as many solutions for any of the competitions, with your votes, as you wish, provided panel is enclosed with each, or having voted for any object, you may afterwards vote for any other, fmt may not change any solution or vote after it is once sent in. A well-known journalist will act as judge of competitions, whose decisions will be final. Within 15 days after the closing of competition, all prizes will be paid hi cash and the names of the successful contestants published in this paper. The competition will remain open long enough to permit a reasonable number of answers being received, but to ensure an abundance of time for fully considering your solutions you are urged to forward them as soon as possible. A bonus of £\ each will, in addition to their prizes, be paid the three prize winners whose answers reach us earliest. Th . dale tor closing will be duly announced in this paper.
