NEWS AND NOTES.

A Wauganui resident who has been on a visit to' Sydney states that storekeepers there are limiting the sale of butter to half pounds and sugar to three pounds. By doling butter and »ugar out in such small quantities, they demonstrate the need to prevent waste during the scarcity, besides conserving supplies so that there would be a little, if not much, for all. IF THEY HAVE THE- SAf'i'i'LES. If ynfr children have the snuffles, sore throat or watery cyes< do not hesitate to give them a dose of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy heads the list as the most effective treatment for coughs, colds croup whooping cough, and is the one remedy that cau always the depended upon to give spe< 'y relief. Sold by all Chemists 1 and .Storekeepers. An example of how slowly news travels i;i the inaccessible fiord country ■ came under notice yesterday (says an Invereargili correspondent), when a pro-' speeior from the interior 'arrived at the ioeal defence office to volunteer for service. It seems that he left for the in- ■ lior early in duly, 1914, and did not knew until about a week ago that the Empire was in a state of war. The volunteer tramped the greater part of the long journey from Preservation Inlet in order to .hand in his name. °y, AEE WOOL VERSUS SHODDY. For some time past, especially since the outbreak of war and consequent higii prices of wool, there has been a persistent effort on the part of wholesale houses and certain retail firms to foist shoddy clothing on the public at very much inflated prices. That there is no justification for this beyond a predatory desire to exploit the public is evidenced by the fact that the Melbourne Clothing Company is still selling the following all pure wool colonial clothings at antewar prices. For instance: Men's Kaiapoi suits. 2i)s lid; boys' Petone Norfolk suits, size 7, 15s Oil, to size 14, ISs.ild; men's Pc-toue tweed suits, 37s (id; men's P*tone saddle tweed suits, 30s Gd; men's Roslyn boxed suits, 355; boys' Roslyn sport suit;, size 6, fis fid. up to size 1G 22s (id. '•The whole Gallipoli Peninsula, is one huge graveyard." writes Corporal Erie Lynch, late of Paraparaumu, "and just above high water mark are the graves of dozens of our brave boys who were killed in the first rush—many of whom never reached the shore. When in the trenches, we could see a couple of boats on the beath, about half a mile away, and on looking through the glasses we saw the boats were full of dead men—men who had never effected a landing. One night some of the boys went off and buried then:, as it was impossible to do so by daylight." The eagerness of non-commissioned officers of the territorial force to qualify themselves for first appointments to commissions U shown by the fact that 39!) candidates have applied to sit for the | August examinations, this number being a record for the Dominion. From the Wellington military district there are IS4 candidates, from Auckland 100, from Canterbury 61, and from Otago 54. ' A good many officers are also desirous'of qualifying" themselves for promotion, and the number who will sit for examination this month will be 12(i, made up as follows:—Wellington 48, Auckland 35, Canterbury 20, and Otago 17. The total number o'f candidates, 025, is an additional record; 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 afford; ed by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ir-akcs it a favorite with mothers erf young children. It liquifies, the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, keeps the cough loose and counteracts any tend ncv towards pneumonia. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been used in many epidemics of whooping rough with perfect success. Sold by all chemists and storekeepers, j A sign of the time,:—The Otago Daily • Time.', says: We have to crave the forI bearauce of correspondents whose letters j to the editor have hern and arc being, delayed in publication. The explanation is that, in common with other newspapers in the Dominion, we are, through the uncertainty of our securing our supplies of printing paper, which is imported from Canada, compelled, as a precautionary measure, to limit rigidly the size of our issues. In the eiivnnistances iwh arc unable to promise the prompt insertion of any letter that is addressed to us for ■publication, nor can we uudcr■take to insert at all any letter that does ,not relate jo a question of special public i'ifcrest. We are compelled also, in the meantime, to curtail our reports of local occurrences. WE MUST REPEAT WHEN EVERYBODY TELLS THE PILES. Piles rarely kill, but they cause constant torture. This is especially true in the case of those who are ever so slightly constipated. Piles can be quickly and permanently cured, without pain, cutting, or detention from business. This has been proved in thousands of cases in both sexes, and of all ages, and ■ in the very worst as well as in ordinarj ; cases. Xo one who has not suffered the torments of itching, painful, and > bleeding piles can appreciate for a mo i ment ilie marvellous sense of relief that I follows the use of Doan's Ointment. Co i at once and get a pot of til s ointment; ) it will end vonr sufferings. ) Mr. V. W. Gardes, Main Street, Fox--1 ton, says:—"For five years I suffered ) from that awfully trying complaint—- ) Itching Piles. The pain and irritation 3 were sometimes almost unbearable, pari licularly at night, or in the warm wca--1 (her. I tired many remedies in the hope 5 of finding a cure, but could get nothing i to do n:e ;yiy lasting good. I then consulted a doctor, but his treatment also failed. At Lift Doan's Ointment was recommended to inc. the recommendation being that it had cll'ecled a wonderful cure. I biughl a pot at once, and after I had us*d about half of it 1 found that the irritation was much less, so that I persevered with the treatment, ami bc- - foro long I was completely and permanently cured. I say ''permanently" because it is three years since my cure, was effected, and I have not been troubled with Piles since. I always keep a pot of Doan's Ointment in the house, and use it occasionally just as a preventative against any return." Two years later Mr. Gardes confirms the above:—"ft is now five years since Doan's Ointment cured me of Piles, and I am still free of I:hi3 complaint." When we say that Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, we mean exactly what v.e say, nothing more, or less, and we arc able to make this emphatic statement backed up by such evidence as the above. T;o.".n's Ointment is sold by al! or will be posted on receipt of price by Foster-MeClellan Co., 76 Pitt Street, 'But, 1w bum you get DOAN'S.
