A reader reports losing twenty pounds in four months after using Kruschen Salts. She credits the product with boosting metabolism and urges gradual, safe slimming rather than starvation, noting the salt's price and availability.
A fragmented column blends a domestic tale praising Aunt Mary’s Baking Powder with a midcentury update on the Queen Mary liner. It notes Mrs Millbrook’s housekeeping ease, a marketing pitch for Aunt Mary’s product, and then reports on Queen Mary’s refit in Southampton, including new propellers and adjusted boilers aimed at reaching higher speeds, with influenza delays mentioned.
The Australian sugar crop totals around 30 000 tons in New South Wales with potential exports near 485 000 tons, yielding an estimated crop value about £11,000,000 and export surplus near £1,100,000. Officials warn of market risk as Britain imports and price pressures could lower grower returns. Queensland growers foresee mixed benefits for workers and cane farmers if export surpluses rise and world parity prices shift.
A committee of inquiry found sugar at £18 5s 0d a ton not including interest and depreciation. It suggested that sugar sold abroad realized only half or less of its production cost. The record noted a large crop due to good seasons and few pests, unlikely to recur for several years.
Reports warn farmers and harvesters that light, fluffy skeleton weed seeds can spread during cleaning and transport.

Precautions urge thorough cleaning, careful handling of bags, and strict hygiene on properties and grading plants to prevent spread.
An entomologist in Sydney and a Sugar Growers' Association survey in Honolulu reveal planes from the Philippines introducing diverse insects not native to Hawaii.
