Need of a Navy.

United Press Association—Hy Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Brisbane July 21

Admiral Beaumont, interviewed, said we cannot afford to wait till Australia is rich enough to create a naval defence force, and has men enough and opportunities for train ing them. Australia must obtain protec tion in some other way, and the only other way he knew of was to increase the contribution to the Navy, and so have larger and more modera ships. The present local naval force, he says, is out of date.

HANDICAPPED.

The man who started to run a race in chains and fetters would be visibly handi capped ; no one could expect him to succeed. The man who runs the race of life when his digestive and nutritive organs are diseased is equally handicapped. In the one case his strength is overweighted ; in the other, it is undermined. Success demands, above all things, a healthy stomach. Dr. Morse's Indian Eoot Pills cure diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. The food is perfectly digested and . assimilated, and the body receives strength in the only way in which strength can be given—by the nourishment derived from digested and assimilated food. Dr. Morse's Indian Eoot Pills are a perfect blood purifier, and a positive cure for biliousness, indigestion, constipation, head aches, sallow complexion, liver and kidney troubles, piles, pimples, boils and blotches, and for feamale ailments. Put up in amber bottles, and the full name blown thereou.

BURTNRRC NOTICES THE GREAT THROAT AND LUNG CURE. Tussicura. The truo secret of health lies in the pre vention of disease, and for this reason a which not only cures complaints, "but prevents the development of more serious trouble, possesses a special value. Of all such Remedies TUSSICURA takes pre-Bminence, and the phenomenal success it has achieved more than justifies its claim to support. No matter how severe a Cough or Cold may be, a dnsa of this wonderful preparation will give instant and permanent i relief, acting as it does upon the organs affected and rendering capable of doing the work ordained to them by Nature. It should be remembered that TCJSSICURAis in no sense a "quack" medicine, but is the invention of an experienced pharmacist, who has given special attention to the study jof the throat, lun^s, and bronchial tubes. A single trial is sufficient to prove its effi cacy, and thoso who are suffering from any | of the complaints which this mixture pro fesses to cure should not neglect to try it.
