By the codicil Mr. Coutts be- queathed 5,000 tacks to his execu- tor, Mr. R. G. MacDonald, in the event of his proving the will and accepting the trust, and also 500 taels to each of the following:-- his houseboy, cook, an old coolie and his mafoo.

A SIMPLE TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN'S COLDS.

Cold in the head is very com- mon at this time of year, especial- ly in the very young. Neglect of a cold is prone to lead to serious consequences.

To relieve all congestion of the system is the first step in treating a cold, whether in infants or adults. For the very young, Baby's Own Tablets are the ideal means of effecting this. Contain- ing no narcotics or other noxious druga, they soothe the child's fret- fulness, relieve its suffering and ensure speedy convalescence.
