the serious influenza OUTBREAK.

HOW TO GUARD AGAINST IT. Aecordinc to medical reports cabled from all tEe great centres of civilisation, and from conditions existing in New Zealand and Australia, a very serious epidemic of Influenza is ravaging the human race to-day. It is deadly in effect, often seising its victim to-day and ending his life to-morrow. Ite intense effect sesms the same in any country, climatic influence or difference of latitude having no effect upon it. It should be unnecessary to tell the man or woman whose blood is pure is the best armed against this epidemic. Poor, antemic blood is the surest medium_ to epidemic diseas#. corrupt blood assists contagion, and those peoplo who have in their wisdom taken and are taking the blood purifying medicine, CLEMENTS TONIC, will be the best able to resist the disease. CLEMENTS TONIC not only keeps the blood pure, it keeps the system healthy too. All chemists and stores sell it in New Zealand. 061

A pleasing featuro of the annual sports meeting of the Takaka Athletic Club, held on 2nd inst., was the number of returned soldiers who contested the various events (says the Nelson "Colonist"). The same pluck and dash, that took our boys so promptly into the firing lino was very much in evidence. For instance, a Twelfth Reinforcement man who was so shot to pieces that he was reported "killed in action," «nd subsequently had this amended to "dangerously wounded"— a man who returned but a few months ago in a shattered condition —rode in three cycle races, and won one of them —good* luck to him. Again, the 100 Yards llun was annexed by a Sixth Reinforcement man with a bullet still in his arm, and a wounded Main Body Ansae ran him a good second. A liero of tho Tenths put ui> a good fight for second in the 220 yards —a man who, by the way, left part of one of his limbs, and an important part, behind at Gallipoli. A special race was put on for returned: soldiers only, and was fooght to » finish by two Main Body men, one Sixth, and one Tenth, and they all cut out tho 200 yards in good time. It was a returned i soldiers' day out, and between them 1 they vnadft the snorts meeting.
