Sick Babies in Summer.

It is during the •warm months of summer that mothers have to be most careful of their little ones, and at the first unusual looseness "of their bowels should give the little sufferer a dose of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy. This Remedy has been in constant use for over thirty-five years, and is without question the best and safc&b remedy in use to-day for Diarrhoea and all Bowel Complaints. A bottle should be kept in every house for such emergencies. Get it tOday j it will save trouble later on. Sold over.y.wh.er.e*.

partment was being economically managed. Mr. Herries urged that the Government should appoint an engineer in connection with the Department, to supervise the carrying out of water supply and other works in connection with the various resorts. The Minister said that the Government had considered this matter. Tho various works at Rotorua had been reported on by the Engineers of the Public Works Department, and it would be premature at present to appoint an engineer. The time would no doubt come when it would be found economical to appoint an engineer as suggested. Mr. Ell urged that something should be done to preserve the very rare plant life that there is in the colony. The giant kauri trees should also be preserved. . Mr. Wilford referred to the Waimangu disaster, and urged that the Government should fence- the dangerous portion of the surroundings. Mr. Buchanan said it was the duty of the Government to do what was suggested, and the Government should take power to enforce the observance of the necessary restrictions, so as to prevent tourists going within the danger lines. The Minister, replying to Mr. Ell, said the destruction of plants had already been dealt with to some extent by the Department, and a large area at Mount Cook had been transferred to the Department. Regarding Waimangu, heagreed with Mr. Wilford's suggestion, said that Mr. Donne had suggested that a barbed wire fence should be put up. He did not like that idea, as it would be foreign to the surroundings, but the Government had a permanent guide resident there, who would protect people from getting into danger. The accident was very regrettable, and the Government would do all in its power to prevent its recurrence. Mr. Warbrick was an excellent guide, but he could not always prevent people running into danger. The matter was receiving careful attention. The vote passed unaltered. At 2.40 a.m. a strong \ protest was raised against the proposal of the Premier to go on with, the Estimates. Mr. Massey moved to report progress, but the Premier urged that two other Departments should be taken, and the motion to report progress was lost by 23 to 16. COLONIAL TREASURER'S DEPARTMENT. The Committee then considered the vote for the Colonial Treasurer's Department, £39,228. The vote passed unaltered after a brief debate. OLD-AGE PENSIONS. The last class considered was Old-age Pensions, total vote £3876. Some discussion took place as to the .cost of administration of this Department. Mr. Wilford complimented the Government on keeping it so low, and Mr. Herries said that result » was only obtained by "sweating" the Post Office and other officials, whose duties were considerably increased by this work. The Premier said the amount required for old-ago pensions showed practically no increase this year, and he expected there would not be any increase for some little time. The vote passed unaltered. Progress was then reported, and the House rose at 3.20 a.m. . LOSSES OF*BTOOK. •, ■ ♦ fBX TKLEGB4.PH. — PBESS ASSOCIATION. 1 DUNEDIN, Ist September. The Chief Commissioner of Crown Lands states that the mortality among sheep as the result of the recent snow storm appears to have been greatest in the Morven Hills district. No reliable estimate can be made till shearing time, but it will probably be found that the losses are not far short of those of 1895. In Central Otago the loss will probably reach 100,000.
