WELCOME TO BRITISH FOOTBALLERS HUMOUR IN PRESS REPORTING. In the “Sunspots” column of the “Christchurch Sun” of May 15, the following paragraph appears in regard to the arrival of the British Team of Footballers at Wellington recently:— “Dr G. J. Adams assured the visitors that there was no ceremonial in New Zealand. Our motto was homeliness. Yee, I am sure they will find our football rough—but homely. Everybody seemed delighted to see Sir Baxter and his merry men safe and sound. I am told that, departing from the custom of a lifetime, Mr Baxter has not got his lung preserver with him on this occasion.” The Proprietors of Baxter’s Lung Preserver have taken the hint and have straightway arranged to present a generoussized bottle of this fine old cough and cold remedy to each member of the visiting team. Like other good things in this Dominion, we are sure that our visitors will endorse the judgment of thousands of New Zealanders who regularly pin their faith to this well-known specific for coughs, colds, and allied troubles. Taken after a strenuous game “Baxter’s" counteracts any feeling of chill and prevents an incipient cold from even getting a start. This rich, red, soothing compound eases sore throats and gives relief to bronchial complaints in a wonderful way. Then too, “Baxter’s” bottles are now fitted with a screw cap which provides a perfect seal and keeps the contents in good condition. Be prepared! Get a generous-sized bottle of “Baxter’s” from any chemist op store at half-a-crown, or if you want to be kind to your friends get the economical family size at 4/6. Bachelor's size eighteenpence. Advt.

Among the curious trees which have been found on the banks of the River Amazon in South America is one which has a sweet edible resin with the consistency of real sugar in the bark and another which exudes an oily substance with the appearance, taste and other qualities of lard.
