Just the 
Thing. 
llie aim oj these notes is to bring articles 0/ present-day use and tnlere.y 
to the knowledge of our readers. All articles described have been carefully 
chosen for mention, and m every instance can be recommended from per- 
sonal knowledge Xames and addresses of shops, where the articles 
mentioned can be obtained, will be forwarded on receipt of a postcard 
addressed to PassePartout. " Land and Water. ' Central House. 
Kingsway. W.C. Any other information will be given on request. 
It is a great event when the small boy 
leaves petticoats for more masculine 
attire. Delightful suggestions in tliis 
particular way are being brought forward by a very noted 
children's outfitter. Chief amongst them is a special design, 
bound to make an instant appeal which it makes to every 
mother through its adaptability. 
This consists of a workmanlike striped shirt, on to which 
a pair of knickers neatly buttons. The shirts are beautiu'ly 
made and, save for a little breast pocket, an exact imitation 
of a man's shirt. They have a turn-down collar, a centre box 
pleat and allow plenty of room. These shirts are lined so 
that for winter their warmth and comfort are assured. The 
brief knickers fallow the usual lines of their kind and they 
are unusually well made and cut. 
These jiretty shirts and knickers combined make the 
most attractive suit possible to imagine. They arc made in 
many different fabrics. The shirts are gener:dly white, with 
blue, pink or brown stripes, the knickers matching m colour. 
A white silk shirt striped with golden brown looks fascinating 
with knickers of brown velvet or gaberdine, and for more 
practical purposes shirts of white and blue striped flannel 
are allied with knickers of hard wearin- blue serge. Many 
mothers are buying knickers and a couple of shirts, of which 
one can be silk and the other flannel, so that two styles are 
achieved almost at the cost of one. Prices and a full range of 
patterns will be promptly forwarded to all asking for them. 
Brown cardboard boxes, specially 
Boxes for stren<^thened for packing goods to the 
Packing. Expe liti'jnary P'orces or Prisoners of 
War are being sold in grosses by a large London firm. 
They have appeared in the nick of time, for they are 
wanted if ever an article was. Packing is all important wliere 
gifts for abroad are concerned, and if this is not satisfactory 
it is quite possible that the parcel will not reach its destination. 
Even if it does, the contents are likely to have suffered in 
transit as many have proved to their cost. These special 
boxes, however, smooth all diif.cullics away. 
They are designed on the principle of a Japanese hamper 
box, being made in two parts, one half of which fits tightly 
over the other. Like a Japanese hamper, also, they are 
telescopic, so that they can expand with their contents. When 
the lid reaches well down to the end of the under part they ar<: 
6! inches deep The length is I2| inches and the width b1 
inches. Their moderate price is 3jd. each, while the offer of 
a dozen boxes for 3s. 3d. is an inducement to the economically 
minded who like saving on a quantity. 
A very clever idea may be found with a 
For Easy portable folding book-rest called the 
Readloft Kcfereader, which can be used with any 
chair, at a table, or when the reader is lying in bed. The 
Refercader is made with a stay rod, which rests on the floor, 
while the book stand itself balances comfortably on the knee. 
When the rod extends along the bed, balance is equally well 
maintained. For more convenient use with a table this stay 
rod is made in two parts. These detach, so that a short rod 
on the lines of the back of a photo frame is left behind and 
keeps the book-rest in posit o 1. 
The Refercader makes the most welcome present to our 
woanded soldiers, for it holds newspijer, magazine or book 
with equal ease, and helps the weary hours in bed or chair to 
pass. Knitters also, who have got into the habit of reading 
whilst they knit appreciate it, and it thus appeals to men 
and women alike. 
.\ pamphlet giving particulars and fully-illustrated will 
be sent to all interested in the contrivance, and shows through

Acidity and Digestion 
Digestion cannot proceed properly if the stomach is 
burdened with acidity. A rational and 10 fe means of 
freeing the stomach from acidity is providud by Dr. 
.Jenner's Absorbent Lozenges, made by Savory * Moore 
from a formula of the famous Dr. Jenner. 
These lozenges are quite different tioni the ordinary 
ant-acid preparations. They ewe their value to an alkaline 
product which has remarkable power to absorb acidity. 
To sufferers from Heartburn, Flatulence. Dizziness, Palpi- 
tation (especially at night), and all the ills that arise from 
acidity, they are of the greatest pLSsii)le benefit. They 
are quite harmless, having no effect whatever on tlie 
stomach itself or the digestive ferments. They contain 
no bismuth. 
A feature of the lozenges, which is attested by all who 
use them, is the immtdinte relief given, evon in chronic 
cases. Their action is so beneficial that in ft short time 
ordinary meals can be taken without fear of indigestion.
