Tbe Wanganui Caledonian Society decided last week that their next annual gathering on January 22, will, as far as running events are concerned, bo practically an amateur affair. Only two professional events appear on the programme, ADVICE TO YOUNG MOTHERS. ' Most mothers realise the great danger from croup, but many do not know that an attack may be prevented by proper treatment as soon as the first symptoms appear. The first indication of croup is hoarseness followed by a rough cough. Give Chamberlain’s Couch Remedy according to the printed directions at once, or even after the trouj.y cough appears and it will prevent the a 1 tack. It is in fact a certain cure for croup. Sold by, Henry Hot op, chemist, Cromwell. Two representatives of tbe Moriori race still live at the Chatham Islands, boll) men. There are in the islands a number of people of mixed Maori and Moriori blood. Of the living pure Morioris, both are old. One is said to be at least ninety years of age. BEST FOR CROUP. A child may go to bed at night in bis usual health except perhaps for a cold, only to waken a few hours later with a well developed attack of croup, and the remainder of the night is spent by the anxious parents in tryii tg to relieve his suffering, which is usually uu re or less experimental. A bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the house will save anxiety, expense and perhaps the life of a child. When this medicine is given at first indication of croup the attack may be avoided and often after the croupy cough has appeared it will prevent the attack. Sold by Henry Hotop, chemist, Cromwell. It is certain that the great majority of the workers are not Socialists. s lt is equally certain that many of the union leaders are, and that the avowed Socialists are actively endeavoring to capture the machinery of the industrial unions.—Wellington ‘ Times.’ . A minutes delay in treating some cases of croup—oftan the length of time it takes to go for a doctor frequently proves fatal. To save worry k op -i bot'le of Chamberlain’s Cough R unedy in the house and at the first indication of croup give the child a dose. PI- asanfc to take and always cures. Su'd by Henry Hotop, chemist, Crom.vell. The farmers of Cambridge, Waikato, felt dissatisfied some mouths ago with the 3d per lb being offered for pork, so decided to freeze and export 100 pigs. The result is now known, and 4|d per lb will ha netted. This should be an indication of a future for pork that has not been contemplated. CHILBLAINS. There is no preparation manufactured that will soothe and heal chilblains as Chamberlains Pain Balm will do. When this liniment is applied it soon allays the itch and prevents the chilblain breaking. It causes them to heal in a very short time, Sol 1 by Henry Hotop, chemist, Cromwell. The Secret Commissions Bill, if passed, should prove particularly useful. Very few who have not investigated the matter realise the extent to which this type of backhanded robbery is carried on, and how it permeates the export trade in our produce, as well as how big firms are too often mult by those who should protect their interests.— watu ‘ Times.’ DO NOT BE BEHIND THE TIMES but move with them. Salts, Castor Oil and harsh purgatives are out of date, and have been the cause of many a case of constipation. Chamberlain’s Tablets are the medicine that you want to take. They cure constipation indigestion, biliousness, and cure them p ;nuam ntly. Remember the name Cha.mh Gain’s Tablets and be sure you get them for there is nothing ‘ just as good.’ Sold by Henry Hotop, chamist, Cromwell. In tbe course of a lecture on “ The Pastures of New Zealand,” given at Christchurch, Dr Cockayne exhibited a number of pictures showing the disastrous results which had billowed over-stocking and the itijudio ious burning of tussock. In these cases the laud had become depleted, and its stock-carrying capacity reduced enormously. A painful illustration of the point was provided by a number of views from tbe Clyde district in Central Otago, a view of the land being shown in its original state, with another view of it after its depletion. Due fact was stated to show the effect on the pastoral industry. In 181)0 there were 411,000 sheep in Vincent County; in 11)10 there were only 277,000. If it were not for the wing thistle, erroneously called the “ star ” thistle, the land would, the lecturer said, lose still more of its carrying capacity.
