They included two or three farm hands not desirous of taking situations where milking was a necessity. In connection with the English regulation forbidding special constables to patronise licensed premises while in uniform, a story is going the rounds that a “special” one night entered a public-house and ordered half a pint under the eye of a police inspector. “Did yon-not see me?” the inspector enquired with some sternness. “Tea,” said the “special,” innocently, “but I only had twopence!” To all public speakers and singers “NAZOL” is invaluable.

Feed a cold with “NAZOL," and you’ll starve it out. Ko cough or cold is proof against this honest remedy. “KAZOL” acts like a charm with old and young. Sold everywhere eighteenpence for 60 doses.

Two lusty topers, in bravo mood as the result of their potations, grew insolent when refused liquor in a local hotel, (says the'Napier Telegraph) and used vile language. They refused to leave, and the athletic proprietor laid hands on them and, hauling them to the rear of the premises, gave each of them a thorough sousing in. the horse trough. So that, after all, they got liquor, although not the kind they wortlooking for.

Khaki and red —Infantry.

Lord Kitchener smiled. “Ah, the war!” lie said. “Capital idea. Let's buy an evening paper!” Quick's the word when “NAZOL” gets to work. Gives instant relief from coughs, colds, catarrh, and sore throat. Pleasant to take. One trial proves its efficacv, L
