WHAT THE STATISTICS SHOW. Statistics show that there are more deaths from whooping cough than from scarlet fever, but we have yet to hear of a case proving fatal when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used. It should l.e ; given at the first symptom repeating the dose frequently. The quick relief afforded by Chamberlain's Cougli Remedy makes it a favorite with mothers of young children. It liquifies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, keeps the cough loose and counteracts an}' tendency towards pneumonia. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been used 'in many epidemics of whooping rough with perfect success. Sold by all chemists and storekeepers. In his address to the annual meeting of the South Canterbury Employees' Association, ,\fr. W. R. iMcLareti mentioned the cost of living, combating the idea that there had been a great increase, lie widtliat lie had'spoken recently with a ®iem who had lived in Timaru for 40 years and that man had said that, except for butchers' meat, the prices of all the necessaries of life were lower now than they were 40 years ago.

As showing what can be taken out of land by intense cultivation, the experience during the past year of Mr. Samuel Sparks, of Cashmere, is worth giving, (says the Nelson Mail). "His land is, without question, of a highVlass, having cost £6O an acre; but in this respect it is not markedly distinguished from the whole area in the same neighborhood. Mr. Sparks is an old settler and, consequently knows the capacity of the land, and works it to the best advantage, "iliis year, from a single acre, he secured 100 tons of mangels, and these he sold for 27s per ton—certainly an excellent return, since as Mr, Sparks states, the cost of production, including interest on the capital invested in the land, would not amount to more than £lO. From an area of 52 acres, Mr. Sparks sold 100 ■tons of hay at £4 10s, and from two acres of potatoes he sold 30 tons of eating tubers at £4 5s 5d per ton. HER FIRST PIE. They had not been married long, and it was her first pie. He helped himself to a second piece, and smiled sweetly into her anxious face. His health was precious to her, but such heroism stirred her very soul. All doubts of his love vanished for ever. She did not know that deep in his pocket nestled a little tin of Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tabules, which digest what vou eat, and so the peace of one happy home remained unbroken. Pie has no terror when Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tabulcs are at hand, Price 13 Cd and 2s Gd per tin. -Obtainable everywhere.

"My trouble with the farmers is, that if they give you £5, they want £lO back," said Mr. ,T. ft. Harkness, secretary of the National Dairy Association, at the conference of the Fruit-growers.' Federation in Wellington (says the Wellington Post). 'I do not know if it }s so with the fruit-growers,." he added, '•'but it certainly is with the dairy farmers,." Must the same," was the response in three or four places, "The dairy farmer expects to get parchment paper at £3O 10s a ton for what costs the National Dairy Association £3O a ton, plus the shipping freight and charge. WHAT DO YOU GIVE BABY FOR HIS COLD? Foolish mothers dose their babies with home-made concoctions or something recommended by a neighbor, and perhaps upset the jitt'le stomach and make the babv cross and uncomfortable by their mistaken economy. Wise mothers do not experiment with untried nostrums, but depend on a remedy which has been compiled from the scientific Description of a famous physician.' Dr. Sheldon's New Discovery is this remedy, and mothers may give it to their babies, sesure in the knowledge that coughs and colds will no longer rack the little bodies. For croup it has the most wonderful results. Whooping cough is cut short by the use of Dr. Sheldon's New Discovery.

These art blood diseases, caused by excess uric acid in the system, and the way to effect a lasting cure is by purifying the blood. Eliminate the poisonous acid—and you remove the cause of the disease, thus the pain ami inflam- , mation cannot remain. RHEUMO is a ( specific which neutralises and expels the uric acid, removes the pain and reduces I the swelling at the joints. Long-stand- ' ing cases yield as sur.ely as occasional attacks. Mr. Francis McCuire writes:— j' "For two years I have lx'en a martyr ) to Sciatica, have had a course of Eleci trie massage, besides going to Te Aroha for the batihs; have now been in Napier . seven weeks, taking hot salt water I baths, but a!! ia vain; had tried almost ; every supposed remedy until a week ago ■ a friend persuaded me to try RHEUMO, j I've only taken two bottles, and the re- : suit is simply wonderful; can now walk I and stoop with ease and feel sure that another two or fonr bottles win make me as right as ever." Let RHEUMO cure you. 2s 6d ini 4s 66. 8 Save the "camels" off the "Desert Gold" Tea packets. They are valuable. Another Cash Price Competition un&jr
