Tlie great commercial discovery of the age in respect to newspaper puhliaity is that dt dtoes not pay to advertise unless tlie goods advertised are honest goods, while nothing which was not true, was good enough to put into an advertisement. A strong appeal for hygienic picture paiaces was made by Mr, John Payne in the llouso of Representatives when iiiitnoducing the Sanitation of Theatres Bill. Mr. Payne said fhat for some time past there had been continuous picture shows open from 11 o'clock in the morning until 11 o'clock at night every day (except Sunday), and no opportunity was afforded of cleaning out. the buildings or disinfecting or deodoiising them. It was time that something was done in regard to these theatres. After the South African war many of the men camo back suffering from gastric troubles, and doubtless many of the men would come back from the present war conveying the germs of more serious (and infectious) battle-field cases. The theatre with which he was associated in Napier was disinfected and deodorised every day, and he considered such precautions were necessary in view of the coughing and expectoration that went ori' in picture theatres, and also for the reason he had previously mentioned. He did not suggest that picture theatres were germ carriers, but he thought? itl order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, precautions should be taken, The Bill was read a first time.

Rheumatic Gout can be cured permanently! Medical men and scientists have diagnosed it as a blood disease, due to excess uric acid—and its deposit settles in the joints and muscles. Linaments may temporarily deaden the pain at the inflamed parts of the body, but they cannot penetrate into the blood and purify it. RHEUMO does, and that is the only way to cure Rheumatic Gout and its kindred ailments, Sciatica and Lumbago. This scientific, powerful remedy neutrab ises the excess acid in the Wood, and expels it from the system. The gouty swelling is then reduced, and the pain disappears. When you ask for RIIEUMO don't be put oft' with foreign salts, RHEUMO is made in New Zealand, and lias cured thousands of your suffering countrymen—some of whom had bet? crippled with rheumatic pains for fv.rteen and twenty years. Becaiw. emi hrocations and massage litTs fjwjcd to cure you, don't lose yoii lt(ive merely been trying to cure the effects. Buy a bottle ol RM2CMO—;I deals wiVJi the came. ?

The method by which England protects her ships plying between her own ports and (he French coast was explained by travellers returning to New York from Em-ope, and whose information was from authoritative sources in both London and Berlin. It is not a lino of submarines and destroyers in thij Channel that protects the British shipf from the German submarines, tile re<[ turned travellers say. A submerged.! steel netting, impassable to submarine's, forms a line of safety between Folkestone (south-west of Dover) and Cape Griz-nez (south-west of Calais), and'the transports carrying war munitions travel that line. The netting was made by Capham and Morris, wiredrawers, in the North of England. The meshes are IBin square, and the netting is clamped together in sections. It is submerged to a depth of. 150 ft, and marked "dead line'' for German U boats. One narrow opening in the netting allows merchant shipping to pass. That gateway is carefully guarded bv destroyers and submarines. Several of the 14 submarines which Germany is said to have lost up to the middle of June were captured by their running head on into the wire netting and becoming hopelessly entangled in it, said the travellers.

WHAT OUR SOLDIERS THINK OF HEAN'S ESSENCE. the wreai' money-Saving cough, COLD & SORE THROAT REMEDY. The ■ prevalence of Colds,.and -Pneumonia is problem which, occasions anxiety in aill military, camps. At Ti'entlmm, especially, our 'gallant boys, who have 1 responded so ■ nobly to the Empire's call!, severe colds were a .menace. In' many instances the regular canteen remedies did not give satisfaction to users. The first bottle of Hcan's Essence sent to one of our soldiers worked wonders 'for him and his comrades. ■Others procured fleau's. Essence, or got their mothers to prepare the mixture,.for them at hom,e. and send it to. the camp. Here is what a few of ''the.(boys" have to ■■•ay:— ' ' ; A few weeks ago a description was cab'ed from G&.llipoli'. of a struggle which took place between an .Australian soldier and< a Turk. It.-was indicated that they were both big men, and that' in some way tlicv came to grips. with-, out weapons, and each sought to over-, come the other by sheer strength.- They fought and struggled near the edgo of. a cli(T, and finally, locked together, they both fell over the dhiff into the sea below. The'struggle did not cea.se there, however. The Australian, it was stated, grappled with his adversary in the water, and finally overcame and drowned him. and then swam ashore. The story then seemed to sacrifice truth to picturcsqueness. lmt it turns out to be substantially true, except that the hero of the affair was a New Zem'ander, and not an Australian. An Auckland doctor, w.riting from the front, recounts the incident, and says that the man concerned was Charles Savory, of Auckland, one of New Zealand's best-known footballers, and a champion heavy-weight boxer. Word was received in Auckland recently that Savory was struck by a shell when in action at Gallipoli, and killed instantly.
