At the London County Council recently it was stated that 38,000 persons own their houses in I-ondon, 700 persons each own more than five acres of land, public authorities and railway companies own twenty-two square miles, and the Duke of Westminster owns three-quarters of a square mile. Doubtless the most unique spot in Europe is the little village of Altenberg, on whose border three countries meet. It is ruled by no monarch, has no soldiers, no police, and no taxes.) Its inhabitants speak a curious jargon of French and German conibined, and spend their days in cultivating the j land or working in the valuable calamine mine of which the village boasts, j HOW LITTLE THINGS GROW. The idea of the steamboat began by a little boy watching the lid of a kettle being forced up by the steam. And a little cough which is at first too slight to notice may develop into Bronchitis or Consumption. Great things always have small beginnings, and often the sufferer realises his danger when it is too late. Make an effort' to stop your cough now. Keep warm and take a course of Baxter's Lung Preserver. Don't wait any longer. Buy a 1/10 bottle to-day from your storekeeper or chemist. You will be glad you tried it. No waste, no cooking with "Camp" Coffee. Half to three-quarters of a teaspoonful in cup, pour on boiling water, add sugar and cream to taste, and delicious coffee is ready The flavour is always perfect, and you control the strength.
