The Great Breatheable Remedy for

THROAT & CHEST

THE only safe and effective method

of treating coughs, colds and bronchitis is to take a medicine that- goes direct to the root of the trouble the bronchial tubes and lungs. Peps, the remedy you breathe, do this in a unique but simple way."

When a Peps tablet is. temoved from its preserving silver wrapper and dissolved on the tongue, it gives off powerful.medicinal fumes which are breathed direct into the lungs. As our diagram shows. Feps actually reach the seat of bronchial troubles, whereas liquid cough cures and lung lonics' are merely swallowed straight lato the stomach.

The Peps medicinal fumes thus cere Into direct contact with every part of the throat and chest, which are soothed, healed and protected against the perils that come with sudden weather changes. Peps are indispensable to the bron- chial invalid and weak-chested. Free from plates and habit-forming drugs.

THE TEN DULLEST AUTHORS? ANICHE FOR HG WELLS AND STEVENSON:

There is something amusing about the, way in which Fanity Fair bas lately reversed the current investigations of 41 important, readable" and "enjos- able books. It asked a number of literary experts to name the ten gront writers whom they have found most thoroughly boring the writers whom they have found that, in spite of all preten sions to the contrary, they absolutely n not read.

The results of this symposium are likely to prove disconcerting to those who may se their literary favourites paried. The very first list, from II: L. Mencken, con- tains George Eliot, Robert Browning aud even Geothe, while Jumes Branch Cabell includes Henry James, Herman Melvillä and Walt Whitman.age

The man who is named on the most. lists is D. H.. Lawrence, xlsscribed by Ernest Boyd, in his contribution, to the symposium, us the average Briton in the toils of sex, a sad spectacle Paul Claudel, damned by Mr. Boyd for his pseudo-simple religiousity.appears also on the lists of Elinor Wyle and G900 Jean Nathan. Each of the following is named on two lists: Dostoievski, Selma Lagerof, Walter Pater, Edith Wharton and Robert Louis Stevenson,

Perhaps the most interesting contribu tion to the symposium is that of Burton Rascoe, literary editor of the New York Tribune Hera is his list:

1. John Milton.

2. D. H. Lawronce.

P. Virgilius Maro.

4. W. D. Howells

3. Marcel Proust

Sis Francis Bacon.

7. H. G. Wells.

S. William Wordsworth.

a. Henry James,

10. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus.

Mr. Rasco explains that these are the authors who have bored him beyon? a!! others. He continues:

"For long time I did not know what it was to be bored. At the age of sixteen I read that intolerable compendium of tediousness. KantaCritique of Pure Reason from beginning to end, under standing scarcely a word of it, and yet I was enchanted. Emerson, who in his essays was my intellectual proctor in those days, had, in his divinely allusive fashion, hinted that there was rich meat in Kant and I chewed the German philosopher's words with self phynotic relish and never ones suspected that I was not, in doing so, growing big with wisdom.

Now a days I am occasionally bored out of a profound loyalty to a writer, or from a vague sense of duty Milton bors me now on an average, of once every six months A

"My loyalty to writers whose works I have admired and loved grants these writers full liberty to bare me. I do not admit the sight of others to presume so mach. Henry James is so favoured, and George Moore, and Is. H. Lawrence, and Joseph Coerad. Few writers charm me as much as, Moore, no one I think bes yot more seductive proso styles and could not read 'In Single Strictness' and I foundered an A Story-Teller's Holi

"MARRIAGE A KIND OF SLAVERY.".

In Colorado Springs today (wrote The Daily Telegraph's correspondent on Sept. Bird) a beautiful pageant was given in the Garden of the Gcds, depicting the progress of women, and to-morrow, in! the same place, Mrs. Oliver Belmont: will preside over the Western States Confer cace of the National Woman's Party. According to despatches from Denver, Mrs. Belmont has given an interview in which she said: I would not recom mend marriage to any girl. It is not an absolute failure, perhaps, but it is g kind of slavery." In the present economie conditions she recommends girls earning their own livelihood to think twice) before marrying" Mrs. Belmont has been twice married, cach time to a millionaire, und she is one of the rich et weinen in the United Statis today,One of her daughters by her Erat husband, the late William K. Vanderbilt, was the first wife of the Duke of Marlborough. It is nd- mitted that there is a disproportionate number of divorces in the United State but the view expressed here by Mrg Belmont, president of the National Woman's Party, in her advice to girls about marriage does not voice the opinion of the majority of her countrywomen.. The real tronole about American mar riages to-day according to the comment from which I quote, is that so many of thom, particularly amongst comparative y affluent, couples, are childless, and i xtatistics predict accurately the necessity. of relying upon immigrants to eustain. the population grow, daily. On the other hand, many American authorities believe. that the best race enurges by inter breed- ng and that immigration should be encouraged as "helping nature in the work of making one race out of the best of all blood groupe,

UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA

RESIDENCE, FARMING, TRAVEL.

The Union of South Africa of interest to Europeans in the Far East. If they are retiring on pension, there are many pleasant South African towns in which to live. If they seek a moderate career, and have capital, there is scope in South Africa for planters and farmers And for those in need of a holiday, the country. is famed as a travel and health resort. The climate is equable. It is sunny but temperate, being neither so inclement in winter as that of Northern Europe, nor so enervating. .in summer as that of the East. It is a genial, wholesome climate in which Europeans thrive. "

The rougher work in South Africa is done by coloured labourers and domestics. Educational facilities are good, the young can now take their University degrees in South Africa! The larger towns are modernly equipped, and many of the smaller ones are very congenial residentially. There are numerous resorts--moon- tain, river and marine, for an octa- sional change. Sport is plentiful. The cost of living and income fix- ation compare favourably with those elsewhere.

In short the Union of South Africa is an uncommonly attractive country. Full particulars may be obtained from the Publicity Agent, Obice of the High Commissioner for the Union of South-Africa. Trafalgar Square, London, w... Specify requirements,
