NEWS AND NOTES.

'Painful 'proof of the U'lilh of the German atrocities lias been received by lira. Galloway, of Kent Terrace, Wellington, who is a. Belgian by birth. From London lias come to her a, letter from her younger sister who gives a brief description. Her father and. mother and sister (with an infant child), and an aunt were among a party which was trying to escape to Holland. When four kilometres from the frontier, they took shelter in a deserted farmhouse. A patrol of Germans asked them whether they .were for the Germans or the Belgians. On finding they were Belgians, the soldiers fired deliberately and shot fifteen dead, including Mrs."Galloway's father and mother and sister and aunt. I The writer of the letter was in a hayloft | with the baby and three young girls, so they were not seen, and got away later on.

WHAT THE STATISTICS SHOW. Statistics show that there are more deaths from whooping cough than from scarlet fever, but we have yet to hear of a case proving fatal when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used. It should he given at the first symptom repeating the. dose frequently. The quick relief afforded by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy makes it a favorite with mothers of young children. It liquifies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, keeps the cough loose and counteracts any tend-.ney towards pneumonia. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been used in many epidemics of whooping rough with perfect success. Sold by all chemists and storekeepers. An important development in connection with the Stratford-Okahnknra railway (says the Taumarunui Press) is thr comtriencwufent of .the* work- on -the Ongar.ue bridge. ; ThislstructnW, which will span the river close to the junction of the railway with the Main Trunk line, will have a length of four chains, and will swve both as a railway and traffic bridge. It will probably take some 18 months to construct. Slow progress is bring made with the construction of the Okahukura tunnel. The bottom headings have advanced 20 chains at one end and 23 at the other, leaving 20 chains to complete. When the bottom heading is through, the tunnel will be one-third completed. About 70 men are employed on the work. At the Auckland end of the railway 230 men are working, the number being slightly less than usual. At the present time of the year conditions are not favorable for railway formation work, oiving to the heavy" rains experienced.

Mr. William Bell, Gill Street, New Plymouth, will tell you how Fhmezol cured his 5-year-old child of a severe attack of ctoup all within an hour, and after several other remedies had failed. Yet there are still a few people foolish enough to allow themselves to he put off with "something just as good"! Flucnzol saves both your time and your money. Gargle in teaspoonful doses undiluted at fairly short intervals and hold the head well back. Swallow for influenza.

The New York Tribune, in an editorial article dated May 11, says:—"Let no German mistake the temper of the American people; iet no German high or low misunderstand the vision which has come to our citizens in the days which they have stood besides their murdered /fellow citizens. Whether we now join in the war, whether we now draw the sword henceforth and until the destruction of those who to-day dominate Germany, the American people will look upon the nations who are fighting the Germans as allies. They will hope and pray for their success. Many millions will regret that no American soldiers are in those lines doing America's part in the battle to defend civilisation. Let none mistake this fact. A wild beast is loose in the world, a creature combining the ferocity of the animal with the lust of the degenerate human. The struggle is not a struggle of nations; it is a battle between civilisation and barbarism, A German victory would mean the destruction of all we hold best in our life." SEVERELY CHAPPED HANDS. FIRST APPLICATION OF REXOXA GAVE RELIEF.

"I suffered for some time with severely chapped hands." writes .Mrs. Bird, fil)2 King street, Dunedin North, New Zealand.

A friend, seeing the terrible state of my hands, gave me a little of your Rexona Ointment to try. The fust application gave me instant relief. It took the heat completely away, and in a week's time my hands were quite htaled. I would not be without your ointment for the world." Rexona is sold at Is Gd and 3s. Obtainable ever/ where *

A few months ago mention was made of an invention for the suppression of cinema film fires, which have been a source of trouble in picture shows. A sample of the new appliance has been titted to 1 lie operating machine at the Dunedin theatre, and a demonstration of the device was given in the presence of Superintendent Napier, of the Dunedin Fire Brigade, who expressed satisfaction at the effective manner in which the apparatus worked on trial. The appliance is very simple, consistin of plated metal covers for the spools, to and from screened. The covers are air-proof, and the film passes between two rollers as it unwinds. In the case of a fire occurring to the section of the film exposed to the heat of the light condenser, the extent of the outbreak is reduced to a mere flash, with the destruction of not more than two feet of the film.
