SORE THROAT:
HOW TO CURE AND PREVENT IT.
Of all the remedics introduced for euring sore throat and preventing it and such diseases as diphtheria, measles, scarlet fever, etc., which begin with sore throat, doctors agree unanimously that nothing compares with Wulfing's For- mamint for effectiveness, rapidity and simplicity
These pleasant-tasting tablets contain the most powerful destroyer of germs When sucked, the known to Science:
is saturated with this germ- saliva destroyer, which gets into the remotest parts of the throat and kills all germs it finda there. As tho germs causo sore threat, it is cured when they are killed..
Besides thousands of doctors, hundreds of distinguished people, like the Rt. Ilon. Arthur J. Balfour, M.P.. the Rt. Hon. the Earl of Kiluiorey, the Rt. Hon. Lord Giuntowe, the Bishop of Bath and Wells, Madame Adelina Patti, and most of the leading Clergyman, M..'s, Barristers and Actors, have written letters stating that they use Wuling's Formamint to cure their sore throat, and find it better than anything else,

1-PRODUCTION IN THE ORIENT.
[BY A CORRESPONDENT OF "THE TIMES."]
A highly important series of investiga- tions and experiments, wide in their scope and extremely interesting in their results, have recently been carried out by the authorities of the Port of Parú (head- quarters of the Amazon Valley trade), conjointly with the great shipping £rn of Alfred Booth & Co. The first object of these investigations Las been to nhtain reliable and definito date, for a scientific comparison of the actual conditions and prospects of tim rubber industry in the Orient and in Brazil respectively. For this purpose a Commission, under the direction of Mr. C. E. A was des patched in December. 1011, to Ceylon, the Malay Peninsula, Java, and Sumatra, where it studied in if the methods and east of rubber production; the ares and producing capacity of existing planta- tions; the area available for extensions of the industry; and the conditions of labour supply. The report compiled as the result of these inquiries contains statistical and general information of a kind likely to provo especially valuable now that, for the first time, the year's. export of rubber from the Orient is estimated to exceed the Brazilian total.

THE PROBLEM BEFORE DRAZIL.
Coufronted by figures like these, one of the principal objects of the Commission of investigation was to endeavour to dis cover improved methods of administra tion, collection, and preparation' to enable the Brazilian product to compete with that of the Orient. In this direction Mr. Akers and his colleagues appear to have attained immediate results of considerable importance Before examining the actual situation of the Brazilian industry, how- ever, it will be of interest to consider and compare the results attained in the chief producing centres of the Orient.
First, as regards production. The total exports of rubber from the East in 1913 were about 31,000 tons. For 1913, 1914, as
and 1915 the estimated totals are follows:
1914 .1013
1915 Malay Peninsula. 36,000 43,000 60,000 Ceylon
10,000 15,000 25,000 India
