nose, stomach pains, and disordered j bowels. Worms will do a great deal ol | mischief to a child's constitution if not 1 5 checked. The easiest and most efficient, j remedy to give children is Ayres’ 1 Chocolate Worm Tablets. Children like j taking these chocolate tablets as much 1 as they like eating sweets. Buy chocolate worm tablets (price 2/-) at E. C. j Ayres' Ltd., chemists, Stafford Street ] South, Timaru ; New Zealanders who were in the ' "Tenth Crusade" and passed a strenu- 1 ous summer in 1918 in the notorious • Jordan Valley will be interested to know that the waters of the sacred i river have been harnessed and no-.v generate thousands of horse-power, and the whole of Northern Palestine, with the exception of Jerusalem, is now able to light up with electricity Instead of candles and oil lamps. The installation is only one of the many schemes for modernisation that will entirely change the life of the ancient i land and rob it of the mediaevalism in which it slumbered for centuries. '• After the Great War the motor car ■ and roads completely revolutionised the methods of “doing” Palestine ' with mules, horses, and camping outfit. 1 This imense hydro-electric plant In the 1 historic valley emphasises the revolution in methods. The works are situr ated just below the junction of the 5 Yarmuk River, whose waters have also 5 been utilised, and a big artificial ) channel leads the combined flow to the powerhouse, after which the overflow is returned to the Jordan, which [. then winds its sinuous way to the Dead .; Sea. iCHRONIC CONSTIPATION. Sir Arbuthnot Lane, the famous British physician, says that people n with a pure blood stream will live much i- longer than those whose blood is poisoned by the toxins caused by const 1 . - ir pation. Boils, pimples, indigestion, gastric ulcers, appendicitis, are often due to chronic constipation. The use of harsh purgatives gives only a temporary relief; they are habit-forming and dangerous. If you are constipated ». take Laxigen. This is a natural, gentle st laxative that will restore the bowels to their natural wave-like movement, ss Laxigen is obtainable at 2/6 bottle s» from E. C. Ayres, Ltd., chemists, Stafford Street South, Timaru
