Mr. X C. Surtees, of Midclleton-in-Tees-dale, recently found a pure white house sparrow, scarcely able to fly, and placed it in a c;iro some 300 yards away. The parent birds and tour younger ones went and fluttered round the cage in an apparent endeavour to release it. Mr. Surtees liberated it, and it flew away with the rest of the family. There was no sign of colour in the feathers, and the bird's eyes were pink. BETTER THAN THE BATHS. Incident at Rotorua. An insurance man spent a holidaj recently at Rotorua. Ho contracted s cold and did not seem to be able tc shake it off. A Masterton friend hap pened to be there, and he said, "I-'Ji soon settle that cold for you." He then produced a bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver. "Wonderful stufl. this, old chap. I always carry it around with me." Sure enough, in a couple of days' time his friend was quite restored, and vowed that the little bottle of "Baxter's" had done him more good than some of the baths. "Baxter's" is the favourite cough and cold remedy throughout New Zealand. It is not an untried preparation, but has now been upon the market for over sixty years. It is a rich, red, warming, soothing compound that does good from the first close. If you have a sore throat or suffer from bronchial complaints, you cannot do better than test this wonderful specific, which also possesses unique tonic properties. You can get a generous-sized bottle of "Baxter's" from any chemist or store for half a crown. Bachelor size eighteenpence. Economical people purchase the family size at 4s 6d. —Advt. Friday ivas liis lucky day, Several tram-ears missed him; Mamie, wilful little maid. Scalded him, then kissed him; Went on Monday to the sports, Holiday and high day, And 'twas Woods' Great Peppermint Cure Killed his cold on Friday.—Advt.
