Waters, who stated in Christchurch the other day that he travelled from Liverpool to Fusion station, London, a distance of 110 miles, in two hours. This was in contrast to the Twentieth Century train on which he travelled from Chicago to New York, and of I which the Americans boast so much. The American train averaged only about, 35 miles an hour, as compared with the average of nearly 60 of the British express. The ride on the American train was a series of bumps, whereas Mr Waters describes the ride in the British train as being like sitting in a room in a house. That the cost of production is much 1 lower in Dunedin than in any other part of the Dominion is exemplified by a catalogue of prices shown to a Daily Times reporter by a local merchant. This catalogue disclosed the fact that' one particular line was manufactured at considerably less cost in Dunedin than in Auckland. The list of articles referred to ladders, and it was shown that a 9-foot to 14-foob extending ladder was manufactured and sold in Dunedin .for 47s 6d, as against 60s for the same article in Auckland. The price charged in Auckland for a 12foot to a 40-foot extending ladder was 14Us, as against 105 s for a similar ladder manufactured in Dunedin. According to a well-known land and estate agent, there is something of a boom in land and business values in Damaru. Recently (states an exchange), the Queen’s Hotel, which was purchased some eighteen years ago for £SOOO, changed hands at £18,000”’ The Commercial Buildings, in Thames Street, have also passed into new hands at a cost of £BOOO. These buildings were purchased many vears aeo for £350. DROP DRUGS AND DOPE TABLETS. The scientific method of treating a cold or cheeking influenza is to sniff up and disinfect the nasal and throat passages with warm Fluenzol. The use of cough syrups or soothing drugs and tablets upsets the stomach, disorganises the system, with eventual injury to the heart. * —6
