A number of challenges for the Dawick Ferns have been received and the holders of these trophies, H. Freeman and G. Hancock, will be called upon to defend them next week.

ARE GIRLS SUFFICIENTLY CLOTHED ? Modern ideas of dress are all right when the weather plays its part. For instance, on a recent bright and comparatively warm day, a party of girls went riding, the clipped and groomed horses and smart riders presenting a very pretty picture. After some hours’ riding there was a halt for a rest and a meal. Two of the girls became quite chilled, and as the temperature dropped in tile late afternoon, had quite a miserrble ride homewards. Fortunately both girls hurried straight home, got to bed, and took Baxters Lung T’reserver, and so prevented any serious developments. This instance shows the necessity of all those engaged in outdoor sports, on hiking trips, etc., being adequately clad or taking extra clothing with them. It also shows the wisdom of keeping “Baxters” handy at home to prevent a serious cold developing. This warming, soothing remedy, which is so pleasant to take, quickly stops a cold and will also break up an established cold in record time The Inigo demand for “Baxters” at the present time indicates the prevalence of colds, and the recognised value of “Baxters,” Is 6d. 2s fid, and 4s fid from all chemists and stores.— Advt.
