CONTROL OF HOARDINGS.

COMPROMISE IN SYDNEY. .'••' [FROM OUR OWN COBIIESPONDJtNT.] '; i;; :.v;.- ' SYDNEY. May 2. J. The question of -the control of street '■ hoardings, for long: a very '; contentious? Vone in Sydney, seems to be on ft fair way to settlement, and -vail- sections are satisfied. After being at loggerheads for * ■ , years, the representatives of the local, governing bodies and X representatives of/ the advertising , hoarding interest* and „ the various business interests concerned in the continuance of the hoarding business, have at last effected '.-a compromise. t The compromise recognises the right of the hoarding industry to exiat, subject to ■• proper licensing and regulation at the hands of the local authorities The coun- .' cils are to have the long sought for right ;.■•..-;• to take into consideration the proposed ' situation of the hoarding, the nature of the locality, and the shape, size, design, . -'■;\ and appearance of the hoarding.

A JOKE ON MR. BAXTER. Mr. Baxter, the popular proprietor of v : .0 Baxter's Lung Preserver, has fust left on ■. .;'. a holiday ..visit to Melbourne. When stopping at the Empire Hotel in Wellington ; / the other day,'' he happened to have a - slight cough, caused probably through smoking. A man sitting nearby in the lounge turned to him and said, in a confidential bind of way, " You ought to get a bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver, old man. That's the stuff for a cough '" Mr. .j? Baxter did not reveal his identity, but the remark shows how popular this well' known preparatioa is throughout the- minionTim manufacture of Baxter's Lung Pre- . server started over 57 years ago, and by : sheer merit it hag steadily forged to the front, until to-day it is the leading cough v. and cold medicine in the country. " Baxter's" is a rich, red, soothing com- ;*. pound, that does you good from the first dose. It is '[ free from harmful narcotics, and being most palatable, is readily taken by children. If you would be free from eougha and colds this winter, you will \ wisely get a large-sized bottle of Baxter's '-}-/*)i Lung Preserver now. Obtainable aft all" \- Xi chemists and store* at 2s 6d.
