Birkenhead residents recently contributed £638 towards the formation of a tire brigade and the provision of firefighting equipment. A ear owned by Mr. It. Coates, o f tlisborne, was destroyed by fire at I’uha during the week-end. Mr. Coates had driven the ear from town, and garaged it at bis parents’ home at Puha, but during the night was awakened by ihe smell of burning rubber. Investigating, he found the car ablaze, and called bis relatives, be set to work to pull the. machine clear of the shed. In this lie was successful, but Ihe safety margin was narrow, for when the ear was 17 or ]8 feet from the shed the petrol-tank exploded, spreading the flames over the whole 01 tiie vehicle, the beat preventing any efforts at salvage.

Brannvell’s Pharmacy. Sold at half a crown, with its four-fold strength, it is the cheapest and most efficacious rough balsam ever presented to the public.*
