Just when the Now Zealand House of Representatives has passed a Bill admitting women as candidates for eletorates (states an exchange), it is disquieting to read in the " Christian World " regarding the United States : '• Suicide amongst women is said to be greatly increasing, particularly amongst those who are taking active part in business and political life." DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS Particular care should be taken with young children as they are subject to disorders of the bowels. Any unusual loosenes of the bowels should have immediate attention and for this no better medicine can be given than Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. Not ordy is Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy prompt in its action, but it has such a pleasant taste that there is no trouble in getting children to take it. - Sold by D. A.

In the course of the Nautical Cuuri/s tiudiog in the Tainui disaster, the following refenuce was made to benzine :—" It may be useful to make some remarks about benzine. If exposed to the air it quickly evaporates, and one pint will vaporise in 1000 cubic feet of air. If to tbis a light or spark is applied it will ignite in the open, but if the ignition takes place under compression, that is in an en* closed space, it will explode. Further, where there is benzine gas in a confined space, it will be attracted tos wards heat, and if fire is adjacent, there cannot fail/to be danger. After benzine has leaked in a confined space, the fumes will lurk about for a conv aiderable time. Benzine, therefore, is a highly dangerous commodity." THEY DONT REALISE THE DANGER. Many parents don't realise the danger of an unusual looseness of a child's bowels in the summer time and allow the trouble to continue until the child is in a state of collapse from weakness. If Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy is given at the first unusual looseness of the bowels an attack of Summer complaint can be avoided Sold by D.

They had married Amorican soldiers but found life in tho United States unsuited to their tem~ perament. The strenuous existenc3 in their new surroundings deprived marriage of its charm. Their husbands once out of uniform and back in the whirl of business became too much absorbed to give them the amount of attention they needed, So they felt, says the Pari3 journal, that their only resource was divorce and a return to the country in which their sex is fully appreciated by the other and 13 not placed second to prosaic money making. DON'T BE A BILIOUS NUISANCE. When your system ij full of bile you have a headache, a bad taste in your mouth, parched lips, feel irrit* able and cantankerous. Dont continue being a bilious nuisance to yourself and everyone else. Take Chamberlain's Tablets and you will feel like new. They will cleanse your stomach, liver and bowols, sweeten your stomach and clear your head. Sold by D. A.

The decision is not very favourably received by sheepmen, and the New South Wale 3 Graziers' Association proposes to have ; the matter thoroughly discussed at its annual conference. RELIEVES THEM ALL. You have never had an ache or pain of the everyday kind, which could no' have been relieved by Chamberlain's Pain Balm. You never will have an ache or pain of this kind if you will keep Chamberlain's Pain Balm handy, and use it at the first symptom of any one of them. Sold by D. A.

Say 3 the Dunedin " Star " : JCuO 10d for a bullock sounds like a fancy pric6 ; yet this was realised at Burnsido sales on Wednesday. Neither was this an isolated instance, as others sold at from £4O to £SO each. Sheep were relatively dearer than cattle. Meat, in consequence, must he retailed at high prices, although it is confidently asserted that butchers are having a very bad time. It is stated that both sheep and cattle are killing out most unsatisfactorily to the butcher, as they are not yielding the quantity of inside fat that they do in ordinary years. This is caused by the lack of feed. The position appears to be : prices abnormally high, quality generally not good, STAY IN BED. The greatest danger from Influenza is its great tendency to result in pneumonia. This danger can be avoided if Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used and the patient stays in ted until the fever subsides.
