NEWS FROM EVERYWHERE.

A Marlborough paper states that last ] week the Perano whaling party, of Tory Channel, captured a hump-backed wfliale | and also secured a dead sperm whale in Cook Strait. The value of the latter take is believed to be well over £SOO. New Zealand is not alone in the outbreak of measles and cerebrospinal meningitis, commonly known in 'England as ".-.potted fever." On June if-1 .Mr. Long, one of the new English Ministers, announced that "there had been a curious outbreak of measles among grownup people, and it had largely affected the soldiers and had brought serious results in the case of some men. There were 2500 cases of cerehro-spinal disease, but they were rapidly decreasing. There wa.s no foundation for the view that there had been a sudden increase in infant mortality resulting from want of proper nourishment and care." In forwarding the paragraph a correspondent of the Timca remarks: "It makes one wonder ■.vhothor the meningitis has broken out spontaneously all over the wotM or whether alien enemies have deliberately spread the bacilli." WHAT THE STATISTICS SHOW. .Statistics show that there are more deaths from whooping cough than from scarlet fewer, but we have yet to hear of a case proving fatal when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used. It should In given at the first symptom repeating the dose 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 cough loose and counteracts any teii<l,,ney ( |i,q)y:ardj ppcnnioiiia.

Blacksmiths arc having some difficulty in regard to jro lisirplics (says tah in regard to iron supplies (says the Timani Post). As a result of war conditions the price of bar iron has steadily advanced until it is 50 per cent, higher than at the outbreak of the war, and stocks in many sizes, particularly shoeing iron, are almost' depleted. Shoeing smiths are remembering that their forebears forged a new shoe from several old ones, and are declining to sell acumulations of worn-out shoes to the scrap-iron man. The now famous Dingo Embrocation, or Training Oil, can be bought from the following saddlers:— K. Edwards iNcw Plymouth), A. J. Kibby (Waitara), Purchas and Son (Urenui and Uruti), C. Meuli (Eitham), E. Grossman (Tariki and Inglewood), T. C. Street (Okato), T. 3. Miklenhall (Qpunake), E. Toh'er (Okaiawa), S. Aylward (Whangamomona), Cosgrove and Co. (Manaia), etc Vipers are said to be causing considerable annoyance to some of Kitchener'* men who are doing their training on Dartmoor. Not long ago (says an English paper) viper catching was a recogniscd profession, and may not be ex-: tinct even yet. Usually the viper-catch-er worked with a forked stick, which lie drove down over the creature's neck, enabling him to grip tt with impunity J Viper skins have—or had—minor com- I mercial uses, whilst the flesh of the snake, boiled or dried and ground to powder, was formerly a common specific for the cure of ulcers and impurities of Hie blood. ALL WOOL VERSUS SHODDY. Tor some time past, especially since the outbreak of war and consequent nigh 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 (lie 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, 2!)s (id; boys' I'etone Norfolk suits, size 7, Lis lid, to size 14, liis Bil; men's Piteue tweed suits, .'l7s lid; men's P tone Mddie tweed suits, lllls (id; men's Roslyn boxed suits, 355; boys' Roslvn sport suit:, size 0, fo Cd. :ip to elze 10 21s 6d. Writing in the Weekly Despatch, a naval officer says:—"lt is now too late for Germany to try to make an effort to equal us in capital ships; and although the fact is carefully concealed from the public, her chiefs now know positively that, s'ze for size, our guns and mountings are infinitely superior; and this is a bitter pill to swallow. This fact has al.-o been partly responsible for their almost complete falling back on torpedoes and mines, and the desperately hurried <oncentration on the building of under-water craft, rather than on superDroadnoughts; lint We can afford to smile, for the means to combat these early errors is already one of our secrets." A RIJEIWIATISM CURE AT LAST! No matter how long you may have suffered Srom rheumatism, von ' owe it to yourselves to try ItUEILMO. It goes to the blood and removes the uric acid the .ause of the. disease. The graiuil easing of the pain as the excess acid is cxpeihd. from your body, the subsidence of inlbimmation and reduction of tie swelling will come as a, blessed relief, as it did to those who tried other "en\v.s" without avail.

RHEUMO is a proven cure—it bnnjs relief where Much amusement was created in the Blenheim court recently by the reading of a letter addressed to the magistrate by the defendant in a charge'of entering licensed premises during the curency of a prohibition order. After an elaborate explanation to the effect that ho went into the hotel with the sole intention of making enquiries as to the timetable of n. coach service, the writer said he would leave the ease to Ills Worship's discretion, and would send him down a couple of hares from (he country place where he was working. Mr. William Pell, Gin Street, New Plymouth, will tell yon how: Elunezol cured his 5-year-old child of a severe attack of croup all within an hour, and after several other remedies had failed.
