SOUTH AFRICA
RISE IN NUMBER OF MARRIAGES
CAPE TOWN. According to the latest census figures dealing with the marital con- dition of all sections of the com- munity, the proportion of married people among the European popula- ilon of South Africa is greater than it has ever been.
But among Asiatics it has fallen, the percentage of married women be- ing particularly low in comparison with former years. At the time of the census, 57 per cent. of the men in the country over 15 years of age were married and 69 per cent, of the
women.
The number of marriages has risen swiftly since the depression, during which it receded slightly.
Karakul Pelts in Demand.—A message from Windhoek states that pessimists who predicted that karoku! sheep sking would go the same way Os ostrich feathers, continue to be confounded; Last year South-West Africa had a a record export total of

prices were obtained and the outlook for this season, judging by recent sales in London, shows promise of even a better year for both prices and production. The demand continues to exceed the supply.

BLINDING HEADACHES MADE HER HELPLESS Forced to Lie Down For Hours at a Time
The severity of this woman's head- aches can be easily imagined from her statement that she seemed to lose her sight, and all power in her hands. Other sufferers from headaches will be interested to read her letter:--
"Until last summer I was subject to terrible headaches. While they lasted I seemed to lose my sight and all power in my hands, and was forced to lie down for hours at a time. My aunt (who has taken Kruschen Saits for 12 years With beneficial; results) suggested my try- ing then. I did so, and I've not had any return of those terrible headaches for months, in fact I feel quite cured, I shall always take Kruschen regu- Jarly in future."--(Mrs.) MW.
Houdaches can nearly always be traced to a disordered stomach, and to the unsuspected retention in the system of stagnating waste material which polsons the blood., Remove
