In the House of Commons, on the 8th ult. Major Aroher-Shee (U., Central Finsbury) asked the Firat Lord of the Admiralty whe- ther he could now make a state- ment as to the condition in which H.M.S. Toroh and H.M.S. Prome- thens were sent to sea, while in commission on the Australian Station in 1911.: ̈"་

Mr. Churchill, in the course of a long statement, said that so far as the Torch was concerned, in the opinion of the Board the de ficiencies which have been reveal- ed were due to a lamentable want of judgement and common sense, as well as to a lack of businesslike capacity. The captain of the Bydney dookyard will receive the

tion of the establishment in his charge. The circumstances at- tending the breakdown of the Prometheus on the voyage to Hongkong have been the subject of a separate inquiry, and were mainly due to a lack of suporvi- sion and defective organization in the engineers' department of the ship. In so far as this ship is concerned, the breakdown in the machinery did not have a bearing on the administration of the yard.

How to SORE

Avoid THROAT

This is one of the worst mouths in the year as regards

the risk of catching Sore Throat.

This painful, malady is caused by germs-invisible atoms of plant life, which we inhale from the air.

The warinth and moisture of the mouth cavity, with its wrinkled surfaces, containing residues of food, form ideal conditions for the growth of these germs, which inflame and irritate the lining of the throat,

A few Formamint Tablets, sucked like sweets, entirely rid the mouth cavity of germ growths, and thus cure Sore Throat in the shortest possible time.

Formamint

THE GERM-KILLING THROAT. TABLET

SignorCaruso,theworld-famous. A Physician writes in the "Prac..

tenor, writei ''I have found 1,. Wuling's Formamint Tablets very beneficial to the throat, and pleasant to the taste."

Although Foramint Tablets are pleasantly flavoured and quite harmless, they containa powerful antiseptic which goes thoroughly over the lining of the bulld throat, and is absolutely fatal to germ life. Therefore, they not only cureand prevent Sore Throat, Tonsillitis, and mouth troulies but offer safe protection against grave infectious diseases likt Diphtheria, Scarlet Bover; Measles, etc.

claims are thoroughly endorsed by the Medical Pro
