SIFTINGS

A telegram from New Plymouth states that active steps are to bo taken at once in connection with the ironsand industry there. A syndicate, holding a lease from the Harbour Board, intend placing plant and material on the ground immediately in terms of the lease, under which the syndicate forfeits £2OOO unless improvements to that value are effected by March 81st. BELIEF AFTEK FIFTEEN YEARS. “ For fifteen years I suffered from constipation and 1 could get no relief,” writes Mr Frederick Fuller, Saddler, New Canterbury Kd-, Petersham, N.S.W. “Then I saw Chamberlain's Tablets advertised and taking them according to directions found they relieved me after the first dose or two. At one time I was completely doubled in two with wind in my stomach but I do not know what that is now for Chamberlain’s Tablets have completely cured me.” For sale by Henry Hotop, Chemist, Cromwell. A settler in tbe Garst hi district is now exterminating the rabbits on his H iLI md by placing tarred straw at the entrance of the burrows of the pest. Hs efforts (says Like Wakatipu ‘ Mail ’) have been eminently successful as in no case have the mouths ot the burrows been re-opened. By fol'owing up the operation and closing up holes which have been left untouched, the destruction of bunny is complete—at least, on the area treated. It only requires concerted action on the part of the landowners and the pest would be very considerably minimised. KEEP HIM IN PERFECT ORDER. “ For the past seven years I have kept my system in perfect order by tbe occasional use of Chamberlain’s Tablets, ” writes Mr W. McWilliam, J.P., Waimana, N.Z. “ Whenever I feel dull I take a dose and find that two tablets taken at night leave me a fresh man next morning. Chamberlain’s Tablets an particularly good as they neither gripe nor prog.!.” 'For sale by Henry Hotop, Chemist, Cromwell.

The Chief Justice then names the two judges to constitute the Ebctio.i Court to conduct the trial. In justice to all parties it is considered de sirable in such leases that the judges shall be selected to trv the issue as so m as possible after the petition is lodged, so that the question at issue may be cleared up without unnecessary delays. No dale has \et been fixed for the trial. THUS RS TO CERTIFY “ I have used Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy and found it to be a most valuable medicine. I have not only used it for myself but for members of my family and have recommended it to dozens of friends, in fact I cannot say too much in favour of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy.” Arthur D. Beecroft blacksmith, 187 Nicholson ot., North Carlton, Vic. For sale by Henry Hotop, Chemist, Cromwell. Lucerne growing is rapidly increasing in favor in the Marlborough district. . 010 farmer has expressed the intention of devoting 800 acres in the Riverlands district to lucerne next season, bis proposal being to thresh for seed and chaff the growth for feeding to sheep. The land that it is intended to put to this purpose is subject to Hood, and expeiieuce has shown that lucerne will thrive even after being wholly inundated. A FORBES CHILD BAD WITH DIARRHOEA. “ Quile recently my boy Jack was very bad with Diarrhea,” says Mrs M. Lee, of Forbes, N.S.W. “ For quite a fortnight hi! was ill and got down very weak. My husband bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy, gave him a dose and to our surprise the one dose completely cured him. Then l is no question that this remedy is quick and reliable." For sa'e by Henry Hotop, Chemist, Cromwell. Referring to the money amass, d by waiters a correspondent points mu that in New York Mr Ghar'e-i Miller, a waiter of the Astor House Hotel, retired with a fortune of £20,000. and tbe bead waiter of the Waldorf Astoria owns a racing stable, a, motor car, and a steam yacht. In Vienna, again, the colors of another bead waiter are among the most prominent on the racing tield.

Yarra, Victoria. “ We did not know what to do, the Lodge medicine having failed. I then gave her Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and we have had no trouble since.” For sale by Henry Hotop, Chemist, Cromwell, The recent spell of damp and inclement weather is having a bad effect on the hay harvest in Southland (says the “ Ensign). The grass, owing to the damp, cannot be cut, and that which is cut cannot be saved with any degree of success. There are at present nine machines on one farm in the Waimumu district waiting for an opportunity to harvest about fflO acres of grass, and another week’s bad weather means considerable anxiety, if not loss, to the owner. There are several other farmers in a similar plight but their areas are not go large, I
