NEW ZEALAND’S FAME IN ENGLAND

A Christchurch Visitor's Experience. Two Christchurch residents who had been on an extensive World Tour were chatting to Mr Baxter the other day. and they stated that when they were at Wembley, amonffst other things, they examined a very fine Glass Exhibit by the United Glass Manufacturers. To their surprise, they discovered something quite familiar, and that was a number of bottles with the words “Baxter's Lung Preserver" blown in the glass. Such is fame! But what is still more interesting is the fact that during the whole course of their tour abroad they had not discovered anything equal to good old "Baxter’s." For coughs, colds, and incipient Influenza, Baxter's Lung Preserver is a wonderful specific. It quickly routs the trouble, and as it possesses tonic properties it helps to build one up against futuro attacks. You can get a generous-sized bottle of "Baxter’s" from any chemist or storo for half-a-crown.—Advt. EUROPE’S GREATEST PORT How many people, if asked which , was Europe's greatest port from the point of view of tonnage, would give I the correct answer? Yet, as it ap- I pears from figures dealt with by the ; chief ports of the world in 1925, Ant- 1 werp occupied first place in Europe, j and is exceeded in the world only by New York. London is third, and the others in order are Rotterdam, Hamburg, Shanghai, Liverpool, Buenos Aires, and Cherbourg. f - - JOURNEY IN CANOE An unusual sight was seen in the Pool in Paris in August when a couple of young Frenchmen turned up in their canoe, which they had paddled from Rouen. The route had been up the Seine to the junction with the Oise and along the St. Quentin and Nord Canals to Calais. They had paddled across the Channel to Hover and had hugged the coast thence to the Nore.
