The bulk of our land is uudei productive, and a great deal of goo land is unproductive, and i.s lield I) monopolists for ransom (says tli Wellington " Times.") As the popu lation grows the situation become more acute, and we take the libert; of repeating that it is worse thai hopeless to expect the slightest assi.st ance from the Masseyites, becaust ' some of the most prominent of then are themselves land monopolists, am the rest are accomplices. RELIEF AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS. " For fifteen years I suffered from constipation and I could gat no relief," writes Mr Frederick Fuller, Saddler, New Canterbury Rd-, 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 Hofcop, Chemist, Cromwell. We do not think that any legislation or any Royal Commission is going to solve the problem of wages and the cost of living. Increase of one seems to necessarily imply an advance in the other, and how to make wages high and the cost of living low is a puzzle which appears to befog both legislators and labor agitators.—Wairarapa " News." KEEP HIM IN PERFECT ORDER. " For the past seven years I have kept my system in perfect order by the 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 mo a fresh man next morning. Chamberlam's Tablets are particularly good as they neither gripe nor purge." For sale by Henry Hotop, Chemist, Cromwell. The continued wet and showery weather is proving anything but beneficial to the grass seed now to be seen in stook all around the Waikaka township, and by the appearance of things, writes a correspondent of the "Ensign," there will Wmuch badly damaged seed on the rMrket this season.

Arthur D. Beecroft blacksmith, -187 Nicholson St., North Carlton, Vic. For sale by Henry Hotop, Chemist, Cromwell. Although it is early yet to predict what prices may rule for butter this winter, it is evident that the factories have fairly large ideas of what their butter is worth (states the ' Dominion'). A local merchant has received an offer from Auckland quoting the end of February make at 10/ { d per lb, If prices keep up in London, aud April butter is sent Home, it would appear that local prices must be affected. As things stand, London prices are keeping fairly hijjh, aud as far as can be judged at present prices are going to remain firm, especially if South Africa comes on the market, as there is a prospect of. Sydney and Melbourne pi ices have both advanced, and it is probable that this may drive African business here. A FORBES CHILD BAD WITH DIARRHOEA. " Quite recently my boy Jack was very bad with Diarrhoea," says Mrs M. Lee, of Forbes, N.S.W. " For quite a fortnight ho was ill and got down very weak. My husban 1 bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cjlic an 1 Diarrhoea Remedy, gave him a dose and to our surprise the one dose completely cured him. Then is no lion that this remedy is qubk an 1 ro* liable." For sale by Henry Hotop, Chemist, Cromwell. Te Tua potato crops are this year looking worse than ever before. Speaking to a Southland News reporter a well-known farmer of that district said that the early crops were badly all'ected with blight. Apart from this they were very poor. Never in the history of the district have such indifferent crops been produced, ft was further stated that while the potato grower there could usually depend on an 18 or 20 ton crop, there was little likelihood of anything better than eight to ten tons per acre this year. j CHILD WAS CHOKING. ! " For the first six months of my daughter's life she was continually ! attacked with croup and was often ' black in the face from choking," writes Mrs E'izabeth Divies, V.) Browning St, Sth. Yarra, Victoria. "We did not know what to do, the Losge medic'ne having failed. I then gave he' Chamberlain's Cou«h Remedy and we have had no trouble . since." For sale by Henry Hotop, Chemist, Cromwell. I It is a surprising fact that in spite of the hot weather there i.s not a brisk deimnd for fruit in Auckland.
