A FISHING STORY “ You bring nothing, I’ll fix everything,” said a flv-fishing enthusiast, inviting his friend for a week-end trip. All went well until the friend, with a complete borrowed outfit, was dismayed to find that one wader was lotting in the water. Being of a sensitive nature, and not wishing to spoil the day’s sport, he plodded on up stream with one foot wet and numb with the cold water. At the end of the day the host discovered the plight of his quixotic friend and after profuse apologies, squared matters by supplying a good stilt dose of “BAXTER'S” as a precaution against a cold. The waders were patched for the morrow, “BAXTER’S” prevented any serious developments, and they both fished happily thereafter. Fishermen take note: Colds are sometimes more easily caught than fish; be prepared with “ BAXTER’S.”—[Advt.]
Four Englishmen have left, in two motor cars tor the Cape via the Sahara. They expect that the - trip will take about six months. The adventurers are. named Woodridge (a military airman), Mackenzie (civil engineer), Doy (a Cape planter), and Kerr Bates .(an architect)*
