"An old Servian woman, at least 70 years old, climbed a telegraph pole as cleverly as a cat, and cut the wires before the Germans had time to fire, marmuring: 'I don't mind if tliey shoot me. lam old enough to die.'" Contrast this (says the London Evening Standard) with the statement made at the meeting of the Farmers' Council:—"Many women refused to work on the land. . . . Mr. S. Kidner said he might as well knock his head against a wall as to try to get woman labor on his farm." Comment is needless. HOW TO BREAK UP A COLD. It may be a surprise to many to learn that a severe cold can be completely broken up in one or two day's time. To do this, however, prompt action is necessary. The first symptom of a cold is a dry loud cough ami a profuse watery discharge from the nose. When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is taken every two hours on the first appearance of these symptoms it counteracts the effect of the cold and restores the system to a healthy condition witiin a day or two.

Thousands of pounds are said to be going to waste every year in Xew flealand in the cocksfoot and other grass seeds growing along the railway lines, country roads and other open grassgrown places. It is proposed (says the Post) that this waste should be turned to profitable account by children gathering the grass seed ,and being paid for it at the rate of 3d per lb, the proceeds from the sale of tile cleaned seed to be devoted to some approved patriotic fund. It has been estimated that some thousands of pounds' worth of cocksfoot seed is growing to waste around the hills of Wellington alone.

Chaplain-Major Dutton, who returned with the hospital ship Maheno, gave an address in the Caversliam Presbyterian Church 011 th'e work of the Bed Cross Society and similar organisations in war time. In concluding his remarks, Mr. Dutton said: ''l do thank God with all my heart that our hoys are no longer at Anzae. You can call it defeat, or failure, or what you like, but I tell you that those hillsides are consecrated with their blood, and that their exploits there were marvellous beyond the power of expression. I thank God, too, for the work of the Red Cross Society, the St. John Ambulance Association, and the Volunteer Aid Society. All these organisations are supplementing the work of the Army Medical Corps to a degree that seems almost fabulous, and when the history of these departments comes to be written up it will be a glorious record of unselfish sacrifice and splendid herois.ni on behalf of others."
