ECZEMA

DON'T endure the agony of skin disease-its

incessant itching pain, sleepless nights and its threat of worse disfigurement. Begin to soothe and heal your skin to-day with Zam-Buk. This rare herbal balm quickly rids the tissues of all poisonous germs and impurities. It is equally successful for pimples, rash, itch, prickly heat or sore spots as for eczema, ulcers, ringworm and poisoned sores.

"The whole of one side of my face was a mau of weoping eczema," says Mr. L. D. Viisa, of Salt River, C.C. "I had medical treat ment and spent pouus on so-called remedies but the mattery places got worse and worse, I couldn't sleep for the awful irritation.

"I was ashamed to be seen out- doors and always held a handkerchief over my face to hide the disfigure- mint, Then I decided to give Zam-Buk a trial and ibebrst applica-

tion of this soothing balm reduced pain and itching,

"As I persevered with Zem-Bok

it brought all bad matter away from the pores and heated in remarkably short time. Now, thanks to Zam-Bak, al trace of acrame bas been cleared away. Shaving wai practically impossible for two years, but I now share in perfect comfort,'*

FAMOUS "POT HOLE.”-

TOUR BY MEMBERS OF THE B.A.

A ROUND OF THE ABBEYS.

Leeds, Sept. 3. Taking a rest from the whirl of papers and discussions, members of the British Association now meeting in Leeds spent to-day in a

number of attractive excursions to places in Yorkshire of archaeologi. cal, literary, or geological interest.

THE CHINA MAIL.

To one of the outings in particu- lar the term thrilling is more ap- plicable. A number of young men, many of them students of geology, descended Gaping Ghyll at Ingle borough, the most famous "pot hole," as it is called, to be found in England, having no superior In its savage grandeur. This expedi- tion, which was directed by the Yorkshire Ramblers' Club, under leadership of Mr. Walter Parsons, cutailed a full day of strenuous toll. Another party is to go down to-morrow, the numbers being re- stricted on each occasion to sixteen owing to the time taken in rope ladder work and other difficulties.

Those making the adventure took with them any sort of old clothes, and changed on the spot in a tent provided for the occasion. Each man was lowered down the main shaft, about 400 feet, in a sort of bosun's chair, attached to a wind-

lass, worked by a petrol engine. Forty feet down a stream pours it- Relf into the huge cavern below, and the descent made' through the actual water of the fall, the members of the expedition being covered by protective tarpaulins.

The main cavern, over which their eyes roamed, is big enough to contain the great edifice of York Minster, and the impression it gives fs eerie and wonderful. From the sides of the cavern there radiate passages, which in turn lead to a range of subsidiary caverns con- taining stalactities and stalagmiten by the thousand. Several hours were spent in traversing the under ground labyrinths.

The water from Gaping Ghyll, as is well known to those who have studied the subject, flows to Clap ham Cave by ways not yet explored. Search has been arrested hitherto by an underground lake, but the visitors to-day learnt that should it over be possible to work through from Clapham Cave to Gaping Ghyll, the excursion would be quite the star turn of cave work in Eng- land.

On the return journey the party passed through Sutton-in-the- Forest, where Laurence Sterne farmed his globe with little profit. Cure on farming," he exclaimed. "I-will try if the pen will not suc- ceod better than the plough." The result was "Tristram Shandy."

Others went to Ilkley, York, Selby Abbey, Wensleydale, Haworth (associated with the memory and the rugged expanses of Ingle- Charlotte Bronte), and to Ingleton borough and Whernside.

One of the victims was the man's own lawyer; the other two were a real estate broker and his legal adviser.

This strange crime is made oven more Lady

extraordinary by the fact that the lawer in whose office it occurred was found crushed on the pavement nine storeys below his office window. It is surmised by the police that he ofther jumped out of the window in à panic- alricken attempt to escape tho elayer's bullets, or crawled out on the window ledge and was pushed off.

It was at the time when the Colonial Government had just introduced legislation for the registration of schools, which was bitterly opposed In certain quarters, and a Singapore Chinese member of the Legislative Council wrote to a fellow clansman stealing a pilot cutter, the property in Penang, who was then managing of a Portland pilot. McDonald, director of a company which owned when caught, had hoisted the main- an English, a Chinese and a Malay sạil and said he was going to sạil newspaper, asking him to say "in to China. those journals that the Bill would not injure Straits Chinese interests and stating that his (the legisla tor's) family, who were then in Malacca, had been threatened with personal violence if he voted for it.
