"A faithful friend is the medicine of life.'' —Proverb. The faithful friend is the unfailing friend. That aptly describes Baxter's Lung Preserver. It is one you can always depend upon. When your head is all stuffed up with a cold, when your throat is sore and painful, when that chest cough keeps you awake at night, good old Baxter's can always Keep it handy. Large botle 2s fid.

LADY RHONDDA'S PEERAGE. The succession of Lady Rhondda to : her father's peerage by special remainder (says the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian) may ; well raise a qeustion of much interest —namely, whether a peeress in her : own right is entitled to take her seat in the House of Lords. Lady Rhondda ; is an energetic asserter of the princi-; pie of equality between the sexes, and has long assisted in efforts designed to make British parctice in such matters square with traditional theories. There are ruomurs that Lady Rhondda proposes to claim her rights as a peeress to sit in the Lords, and I asked a well-known barrister what he thought is likely to happen in that event. The first step, of course, is for Lady Rhondda formally to prove her succession to the satisfaction of the Lord Chancellor, and to apply to the Crown Office for a writ of summons to Parliament. This would certainly be refused, according to counsel, who is familiar with the apprehensions of official persons. The question will then be referred to the Committee for Privileges. The issue is that which is arising in various directions —namely, is woman still not a person under common law in Tespect of certain positions and privileges? It would be piquant to see this question discussed in connection with a peerage claim by a woman.
