NEWS FROM EVERYWHERE.

On the way to the Dardanelles, the Australian reinforcements struck an "exchange sJiark" at Aden, but after being taken down several times, they found a way to go one better, and beat him at his own game. The circumstances were tlese: On arrival at Aden it was found that the natives who came to sell fruit

and cigarettes were afraid of paper money. The "shark" knew this, and putting out in his boat with a large stock of silver, he offered to give 17s for tho Australian £1 note. The men wanted fruit and cigarettes, and so for a time the exchange was carried on, the shark smiling as he thought of his fat commission. But he had not heard of the Australian 10s note. It was discovered that he would pay 17s for a 10s note. Thereafter he changed every 10s note on the ship. He left assuring the men that he would bring more silver out at five o'clock, but he did not come, Mr. William Bell, Gill Street, New Plymouth, will tell you how Flunezol cured his 5-year-old child of a severe attack of croup all within an hour, and after several other remedies had failed. Yet there are still a few people foolish enough to allow themselves to he put off with "something just as good"! Fluen/.0l saves both your time and your money. Gargle in teaspoonful doses undiluted at fairly short intervals and hold the head well back. Swallow for influenza.

Writes a correspondent to the Dominion:—May I be allowed to suggest some change in the nomenclature of the Southern Alps. It has always been a source of annoyance to me to see tSe lap of our great mountain ranges plastered over, \vith German names—Mueller is everywhere, Hoc'h'stetter, Lendelifildt, Malteburn, Francis Joseph Kron Prinz, Rudolph, Haidinger —the list might be indefinitely extended. Surely we might find more fitting names agongst our own pioneers, names the Dominion should feel deserving of perpetuation; names which would not jar one's nerves as all tilings German are bound to do for the next generation or two. Lost, stolen, strayed—gone none knows where, 'Twas with me yesterday, I do declare. It racked my chest, my head was sore. It's gone, I'll never see it more. What? Not a cough? Yes, yes, for sure; Lost when I used Woods' Peppermint Cure. • 3

Tlte London correspondent of The Post writes under date July 2:—An Australian trooper, writing in the Morning Post, says: "The holding of the two detached posts on the left at Sari Bair (.■alls for the best qualities of officers and men. The casualties among the units whose lot it has been to safeguaid this point of defence have been consistently heavy. Captain Hardham, V.C., with a party of \J T ollington(X.Z.) MountRifles, fought a desperate fight here. They gave as hard knocks as they got till their ammunition was exhausted. The Turks feared to assault, recollecting the colonials' prowess with the bayonet, but came close up and poured in "a deadly fire. It was then thu.t Captain Hardham was wounded. A company of Canterbury men was despatched to lend assistance and carry ammunition to the sadly diminished Wellingtonians. The South" Islanders lost nearly haif their strength on the way across, but the situation was finally relieved, and the Turks driven back to the cover of their trenches."

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 la given at the first symptom repeating the (lose frequently. The quick relief afforded by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy makes it a favorite with mothers of young children. It liquifies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, keeps the oougli loose and counteracts any tend iicv 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 a graphic account of the doings at the front in the Dardaneles, the Melbourne Argus correspondent thus refers to an incident in which a Wellington soldier figured:—"Lieut. Tlios. Lawless, of the N'ow Zealand and Australian pay department, had rather an exciting experience. Being fleet of foot, lie went to dash across the "man run," as it is called, but his cap fell off when he had gone only half way. The snipers' rifles wore snapping vigorously at the time, but the temptation to stop and pick up the cap was too strong to be resisted. It was well he did so, for the next bullet kicked up the dust just at the spot lie would have reached by continuing to run. Then someone called out, 'Bolt, you fool!' and he took the advice. The next man to pass across made an attempt to rescue the hat, but a bullet just missed the end of his fingers, and lie dropped it again. A thjrd, however, kicked the cap forward as'lie ran, and .the next to cross landed it safely in tfcife hands of its owner." ALL WOOL VERSUS SHODDY. For some time past, especially since the outbreak of war and consequent high 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 pricc-s. 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, 20s Gd; boys' Petone Norfolk suits, size 7, las Od, to size 14, 18s 9d; men's Pcto'ie tweed suits, 37s Gd; men's F'tone fuddle tweed suits, 3!)s fid; men's Roslvn boxed suits, 355; boys' Roslyn sport suits, size 0, Is Oil. up to size 10 Gd. According to the American Wool and Cotton Reporter, the problem of ensuring a supply of winter uniforms for the army is causing Ormany far more anxiety than the alleged shortage of I'oud-stulYs. Xut only is (jerniany cut oil' l'roni her usual sources of wool, but she cannot, even obtain carpet wool from Turkey or her former supply of American "rags and clips," with which she was accustomed to eke out the material used in the manufacture of cheaper kinds of cloth. American experts predict that if the war lasts until the winter Germany will experience tremendous difficulty in furnishing the soldiers with warm clothC'AUSES SUFFOCATION. Without prompt relief is had in eases of croup death must follow, as the presence of a false membrane in the voice box causes suffocation. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy loosens this membrane and causes the child to expell it by vomiting. It is prompt in its action and certain in its results. If given at the first symptoms the attack will be warded off. Sold by all Chemists snd Storekeeporfc
