“Nothing did me much good until I took Tussicnra for a nasty hacking cough ,had troubled me for a good manyiweekg. I could feel with each dose of Tussicnra that my bodily strength was being increased as well as my cough being cured For many nights liraVhbeeu worried, and kept awake with a dreadful tickle in -the throat that kept |me coughing, and simply would not let me sleep.

My general health and appetite were also vastly improved by Tussicnra. ’’ To all those who are sick and suffering from any form of throat or lung trouble—Asthma, Whooping Oough, Bronchitis, Catarrhal and inflamed conditions of the bronchial tubes, etc. —we cannot too earnestly recommend this remarkable tonic cough medicine —Tussicnra.

SHEEP DRENCH. “YERMOOIMS” is nos only a perfect vermifuge, but also acts as a tonic. Therefore in killing and expelling parasites, its tonic properties immediately operate in building up the weakened system. This is of the greatest importance, _ as the animal being in a low condition reqnhes renewed strength as speedily as possible to resist fresh attack. In this “YERMOGTNE” is unique .and superior to any other drench. _pbtainable from Brice, Broad & 00., Ltd., Marton. j TUSSIOUEA cuDs coughs and colds at ones.

Those travelling by road from > New Plymouth fcoElthamcau hardly fail to be struck by the number of concrete bridges crossed. It seems to be the policy of the Taranaki County Council to replace wooden bridges by concrete, and those recently built of this material look substantial enough to make the Council’s fiolicy one of economy in the long run. A deputation of Auckland butchers waited on the A. and P. Association yesterday to suggest the establishment of a mutual insurance fund, to f which buyers and sellers of stock-, should contribute in order to cover the loss caused by animals being con-, demned after slaughter. A sub-com-mittee of the Association will consider the matter. Fathers of public school failures consider it necessary to give their boys an allowance when they send them abroad. It removes the spur of necessity. The young fellow who not only has money when ho lauds, but can look forward to a certain sum paid quarterly, is almost certain to degenerate into that most hopeless of pitiable objects, a “remittance man.’’—Empire Review’. At New Plymouth yesterday a ballot was conducted for nineteen sections, totalling 14,747 acres of Grown land in the Oteunu Block, between Taumarnnni and Maugaroa. The land was offered under the renewal lease, term 66 years, with perpetual, rights of renewal at successive terms of 66 years. From three to nineteen applications were received for each section, all but five being taken up at the ballot, and these were applied for during the afternoon. According to Tom Mann, Socialists do not ask that the possessions of the individual should be “whacked up” amongst all: such an ide v is contrary to the scientific principles of Socialism. As far as he was con- , cerned, he had nothing to “whack ’ up,” Just so: it is because the average Socialist has nothing to lose and everything to gain by Socialism that he is so keen about it. During the hearing of a case at Korumburra Police Court, Victoria, Mr J. M. Kirkpatrick, solicitor, appearing for the defendant, chlled the complainant a liar. Mr Kirkpatrick, w'iTenSsked to withdraw, refused, and said he wonb-30 defy the Bench to deal with him, ' 4 he was not guilty of contemps.4s. Some further heated words ensued, between Mr Murphy, P.M., and Mr Kirkpatrick, and the P.M. then charged the latter with contempt of G Court, and ordered him to be locked'- 1 - up for two hours. When leaving the Court Mr Kirkpatrick said he would' take an action for damages against the whole of the members of the Bench. ... There is to be exhibited by the Department of Agriculture at Palmerston a model of a house—constructed on the open front principle—which for economy of construction is said to be unrivalled. It is covered with a patent asbestos material, which is said to be less costly than timber and what will appeal to the amateur carpenter, is provided in such sizes and is so easy of attachment that, an Bft by Bft house can ha knocked up in a day. The cost of the material we understand, is about ;2s 6d the square yard. ■ However,, visitors to the great National Dairy Show will be able to see the model, examine the material and'learn all about cost, etc., from the officials in charge.

A Marton grocer has a story to tell about a mouse which was possessed of ? a curious faculty of finding its-way. about in unknown territory. It had not, however, the same, power of retracing its steps after its explorations. The grocer . took the ordinary 'precaution of leaving Ijis , drawer being done in the event of rsgptaaking an entrance. The .into tills drawer, went small hole, and found tangled in the intricate parts of the register. Business operations began next molfiing and the first cash sale recorded carried the little creature, to the top elevator where it ---was jammed between the wheels recorder. The fun began whom/the register failed to work. The'sgyocer did not know the cause antyEpr a week he laboured in vain to get -the' machine in order. No one, however, dreamed of suggesting that the remains of a mouse lay under the recording shaft. An expert had to bo called in and a closer investigation showed what had happened. This is the first case of the kind brought under the notice of the expert. The grocer Is now considering whether it is advisable to continue the precaution against burglars or whether to make his shop secure from these troublesome creatures.
