FIGHTING FOR BREATH. "My little boy was a martyr t>' b:id colds and eo.igbs," says Mrs C. Wan-ell, Lake's Creek, Kockhampton, Q. 'At times he has been so bad that 1 have found him lighting for breath. Since 1 started giving him Chamberlain's Cough Remedy I do not worry over his coughs, for 1 know that a couple of doses will give him immediate relief." .Sold by G. W. Hutchins chemist. ARMY AND SLIT SKIRTS. Field-Marshal Baron Fekete, commander of the Budapest garrison, lias made an order that, "whereas_ certain young women have carried their devotion to the prevailing mode to such a pitch as to appear in slit skirts, and nave thus overstepped the furthest limits of propriety as laid down in the offioers' corps, all military men are commanded to inform the women of their families and all women invited to military functions that slit skirts are not permitted." HONESTLY RECOMMENDED. "To anyone suffering from diarrhoea I can honestly recommend Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy as being the most satisfactory remedy on the market," writes Mr C. C. Hooper, Wakefield, N.Z. '' 1 have tried all sorts of medicines, but have found nothing equal to Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy." Sold by G. W. Hutchins, chemist. THE COOK. M. Messimy, a former "War Minister, was lunching with General Henry, who is stationed in Morocco, when he expressed admiration of the skill of the officer's ccok. "Y»u may ho surprised to hear," was the.reply, "that my cook is the brother of one of your colleagues in M. Caillaux's last "Ministry, M. Couyba, Miiv ister of Commerce. He served for 15 years in the Foreign Legion and afterwards entered my service. He is as good a cook as his brother was Minister." RICKED HIS BACK. "I ricked my back severely and was unable to stand upright," writes Mr Thos. H. Maher, Ebdeii, Vic. "I had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised for strains, and thought I would see what it would do for me. The first application gave rae relief, and I was quite mvself again after using only a quarter "of a bottle." Sold by G.'W. Hutchins, chemist. CHANCELLOR AND HIS SON. According to a statement which reaches me from a competent quarter, Dr. von Bethmann-HolUveg, the Imperial Chancellor, is suffering much anxiety owing to the debts contracted hv his son (stated the Berlin correspondent of "Die Daily Mail' on January 2-5). The statement adds: "The son will not be placed under, financial guardianship for the simple reason that German law does not provide for such action in the case of a person who has nothing." TAKE NO OTHER. "For nine years I suffered with a liver disorder, and tried numerous medicines, obtaining very little relief," writes Miss Esther J. Coles, Major's Creek, N.S.W. "After taking Chamberlain's. Tablets regularly for a fortnight I found I was greatly benefited, and am now completely restored to health. My father, who is 79, is an invalid and is troubled with constipation, but has obtained the greatest benefit from Chamberlain's Tablets. Rather than use any other medicine we have often sent into Braidwood, that is twenty miles away, for Chamberlain's Tablets." Sold by G. W. Hutchins, chemist. £280,000 DEBTS AT 32. Debts to the amount of £280.<-./ havo been incurred by Prince de Ton-nay-Charente, it was stated in the First Civil Court in Paris lately. Most of this sum lias been lost in gambling. At the' request of the prince's" father, the Duo de Mortemart, the court appoint«l a trustee to administer the rest of his fortune. In its judgment the court declared that the Prince de Tonnay-Charente (who is now 32) early in life acquired the habit of gambling and extrava'gar.ee. In 1907, when ho was married, his total indebtedness amounted to £160,000, and he was only able to meet his liabilities with his father's help. Since then, the court goes on to say. far from profiting from the lessons of the past, ho has persevered in his bad habits and has contracted fresh, debts amounting to more than £120,060. ALWAYS TAKES IT. "I always take Chamberlain's Cough Remedv whenever I have a cold," writes Mrs A. Preston, 51 King William street, Fitzroy, Vic. "I first took it when I had an attack of influenza, and I got relief at onee. Now I always keep a bottle in the house, and never lose an opportunity to recommend it to others. I know dozens of people who look on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as a part of their household effects."—Sold by G, W. Hatohiai, gtagfet* _
