When a thief visited the New Zealand Dry Cleaning Company’s factory at Auckland the other night, he read a note which the manager kindly left for him (says an exchangel. It was to this effect: “ This safe is not locked.” The object of the note, which is always gummed on the safe door, is to save cracksmen the trouble of bursting it open and doing damage. So well are burglars treated by the firm that an electric light is also left burning over the safe. Although the note did not say whether any money was in the till, the thief, who had removed two panes of glass from the rear window and let himself in, decided to investigate. Breaking the till open, lie found silver amounting to £2. Nothing else was stolen or disturbed. If your child is fretful and wakeful, it needs WADE’S WORM FIGS. Safe and sure. All chemista arid —AdvU
