WP NO HARD WORK. (M«d» l»y RKCKITT'g)

TAKEN SICK DC SYDNEY. "When in Sydney some time ago I had a very bad attack of indigestion with ' sickness lasting for some hours," writes Mr J. P. Holmes, 231 Auburn Road, Haw- , thw-ne, Vie. "It left me so weak I was i unable to go to business. A friend gave me a sample of Chamberlain's Tablets, and after taking three tablets I was so . much better that I was able to resume work, and in less than a week I was I quite -well." Sold by all chemists and , storekeepers. 1 The increasing dependence of Great Britain upon imported supplies for its daily food is very plainly revealed by the figures of the agricultural statistics ■ for 1!)10, issued by the Hoard of Agriculture, Comparing the decades 18(11-1900 and . 11)01-1910, in the latter period the aver- ' age yearly importation of wheat was lar- ' ger by 24 million ewt, though against i this there was to be set a decrease in the importation of flour of over five million 1 ewt. Where in 1801-11)00 Britain impor- ; ted on the average 2731b of wheat and 1 flour each year, in 1901-1910 the impor- | tatiou rose to 20211) per head of the population. The imports of beef in the same way advanced from Oi/Ub per head to I6lb, and those of butter from 81b to 10y 2 lb. The imports of cheese and pork remain almost stationary. One interesting fac' brought out by these returns is that th, food supplies of Great Britain are being drawn each year to a greater extent from the British Empire, and to a less extent from foreign countries.
