Privileges of Surrendered Boers.

Writing to tha Daily Telegraph, Mr Barnefcb Bulf'eigh saya : — We are certainly not d< ing too little to. ensure the omfor of Brer Boer. Whether too much let others discuss. Meanwhile, the military under Lord Kitchenei'tj orders pjrmit the surrendered Boera to retain the custody of their ca'tle, and, if they wish, drive and herd them near or far, bub at th:ir own risk And the slim Boer is making olaima upon tha imagination to be included as a surrendered, not a cap* tared, burgher. When an enemy, after sniping our troops, ia finally cornered behind a atone, and through some dull sense is nob shot down, but his life Is spired by the soldiers, and he is treated as a chum, such a Boer hardly deserves to be classed at his own estimate as a surrendered man. ¥efc some such charac ters aa these have had their cattle returned to them., and they fhaniingly ceil our Supplies Department sheep at £1 a head and trek osen at £23 apeice. Moqt nationalities wou'd have said to them, 'Be d— thankful that we spared your lives, and don't treat us ag foola.' There Is another arrangement existing with meat contractors, several of whom are notori' oasly pro Boer, not altogether calculated to shorten th© duration of the war. The columns capture large herds from time to time, and the droving is often terribly wasteful. Uader an arrangement with the meat eontractora, oxen are dold to them at, I believe, £10 a head, and retailed to the troops at lid or la & pound. Ia nnny cases the meat in question is Actually kiiled, dressed, and issued by the Army butchers, the contractors' parb being to pocket the profits. And if the columns want to boy back a trek ox that cost? £23. I know of one company where the share values have advanced by leaps and bounds aud I aro not surprised to hear cynical observation that, in the Interests of such concernßand their Boer friends, there ia no need to hurry up the end of war. The surrendered Boers permitted to retain and herd their cattle are also allowed to have a limited number of Martini.Henrys and ammunition, wherewith co protect their stock upon the pastures, Varily we are full of wondrous devices.

DEAR Sir, — For the last twelve months! have been completely run down, suffering from Nervous Debility, Extreme Weakness, and other ailments incidental to my sex. My condition was such I was quit© unable to g^t about, or to do anything at all. When I heard of the great benefit, other sufferers had derived from the use of Plantekoa. I procured a bottle, using ifc as directed, and the result was ss gratifying as it was astontshihg. I became quite well again, and able to get about as usual. I have much pleasure in sending you these few lines, make what you like of them. Yoara truly, Mrs J. Row. P.S.—I can also recommend Plakiekoa as a good medicine for ths blood and strengthening the system Kaiwarra, February 21at 1901 Dear Sir,—Several months ago I had a very severe attack of kflaenz^, which left me very much run down, and hardly able to stand, or evee use my hands. My wrists and ankles were much swollen, and Very painful Several things I tried without effect. A friend advised me to giva Piantekca a trial, which I did, and I am happy to say before I had finished the second bottle I was thoroughlycured, aixd I m»y say I have felt no return whatever. I should like, also, to say a word for Plantekoa Ointment. My husband for a long time had badly cracked hands, (owing largely, no doubt, to the nature of his work), which defied all efforts at heal" Ing; but when we once fcritd Plantekoa Ointment, the effect was wonderful. For chapped or cracked hands, cuts, etc., it Is the very best and pafestrfmedy, and is one of those thing mo home is complete without. Yours sincerely, Mbs Wainright The Proprietor of Planekoa Remedies receives fresh testimony every day from sufferers who have been cured by their use For chilblains and chapped hands use the mighty healer, Plantekoa Oint men!;.
