UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA FOR
RESIDENCE, FARMING, TRAVEL."
The Union of South Africa is a seat of Weitern culture' and civilisation. Europeans have been settled there for. nearly three centuries.
It is a country that merits the attention of those Europeans who con- template leaving the Far East. If they are retiring on pension, there are many pleasant South African towns in which to live, Or if they seek a carcer, and have a moderate expital there is scope in South African farm- ing-for instance in fruit-growing.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Cures Coughs, Colds, Croup, Sore Throat, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough and all
Throat Diseases.
The climate is good. It is sunny bat temperate being naither inclement in winter nor oppressive in summer, It is a genial climate in which Euro-" paans, including women and children, thrive without periodically going
abroad.
Educational facilities for the young are excellent. The larger towns are wp-to-date and well-equipped. There are numerous resorts-mountain, river and marice, for an occasional change...
In short, the Union of South Africa la a more than ordinarily attractiva country for those who have an sasured income or the capital with which to
start a career.
A comprehensive official publication on the subject is being ismed. 1 com- fains, for twenty typical South African towns, specibe data about climate, environment, amenities; housing. COL of living, servante; and generally suck information as will enable enquirers to judga urban residential conditions in the Union of South Africa Explana tory publications on farming are also available..
