TOVE PASTE NO HARD WORI (Mad* by RKOKITT'fti
Mr Ashmead Bartlett thus describes the site of the Messina earthquake:— We went on shore and spent most of the night wandering among the ruins of that unfortunate town. Little effort has been made to clear away the piles of rubbish under which lie the bodies of SO,OOO men, women and children. Of this number only 8000 have been recovered, and it is calculated that at least five millions sterling in gold; is buried beneath the town. In spite of the staggering nature of the disaster, which might have been enough to upset the nerves of the survivors for decades, a new town of Messina has already sprung up, a little to the south of the former site, containing nearly 150,000 inhabitants, who live in immediate contact with their dead friends and relatives. Such is the influence of home environment to the light-hearted, pleasure-lov-ing, quickly forgetting Sicilians. But the Government have issued stringent regulations as to the building of houses; these must be only one story high and made of ,wood or cement, no stone or iron beinc; allowed in their construction. THE FINEST THING ON EARTH. "Chamberlain's Colic, Cnolera and Diarrhoea Remedy is absolutely tie finest thing on earth for colic, pains in the stomach and diarrhoea," says Mr G. H. Hodgson of Wanganui, N.Z. "It will cure every time. No one is subject to more violent attacks of diarrhoea than myself, but I have never known Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to fail to cure me." Sold by all chemists and storekeeper*.
