A Martial Insect "The weta." writes an opossum trapper to the Wellington Acclimatisation Society, ''kills every tree it feeds on." Shrubs'and saplings are killed in hundreds by the weta, which (he adds) has no natural enemy. He stales that "1 he black borer" is as bad. In spots in the bUsh wet as are found in hundreds. A big weia with his appendages outstretched can be 9 inches long. After 90 years of white settlement wetas are still in WWnffton suburbs. They seem to he able to live in the earth as well as in bore-holes in saplings. Nothing attacks a weta in Ins lair. He is more possessing than prepossessing.
UNEASY LIES THE HEAD —That has a cold. You know how unbearable it is to be awake, cough, cough, cough, coughing. It is then you would give anything tor some Baxter's Lung Preserver. Be sure you have "Baxter's" handy. "Baxter's" banishes coughing, sore throat, hoarseness, f<nd relieves inflammation. The relief is wonderful. Never be without "Baxter's." Get it to-day. 4/6, 2/6 and 1/6 at all chemists and stores.
