ACCOUNTANTS IN THE WAR

ROLL OF HONOUR UNVEILED. There was a very large gathering of accountants in their hall last night, when the Governor-General unveiled the tablet erected by the accountants to the memory of their fellows who served 1 and died during the war. Major-General Sir Edward Chaytor, G.0.C., New land Forces, and the Mayor (Mr. R. A. Wright) were also present. The president of the society (Mr. Walter Green, of Dunedin) welcomed His Excellency, and expressed the thanks of tho society to him for acceding to the request to unveil the roll of honour and to perform the ceremony intended to express their acknowledgment of the personal sacrifices of members in the service of the country. From the outbreak of the war, remarked Mr. Green, the society, by the unanimous will of its members, resolved to give the utmost assistance within its power to enable this Dominion worthily to carry out its part in the conflict. They took pride in the personal service rendered by 182 of tho members. Many gained distinction, and preferment and decorations were awarded to several. Mr. N. S. Falla was awarded the C.M.G.; five secured the D. 5.0., five the Military Cross, six the Military Medal, one the Meritorious Medal, one the legion of Honour and Croix de Chevalier; thirteen were mentioned in dispatches, and one, Mr. William Jack, was made a member of the British Empire Order. To those who had returned maimed or broken, the society was resolved to extend always the helping hand of fellowship, giving them ungrudging nnd sympathetic help in their difficulties and trials. Thirty would never return.

His Excellency, on rising, said: ''To tlie glorious memory of those who gave their lives for tho Dominion and the Empire, and as a record of those belonging to the 'New Zealand Society of Accountants who served during the war, I unveil this memorial.” He then drew aside the flags that veiled the tablet, all present standing in respectful silence. Addressing tho assemblage, His Excellency said that he esteemed it as a very real honour to have been asked to perform the ceremony. Tho president had mentioned tho services rendered to tho Dominion and tho Empire by the society during the Great War, and it was a record of which the society might well be proud. Not only aid they answer the call of Empire, hut they also answered the call for the preservation of civilisation, and those who were capable of bearing arms went forth and 1 did their duty to the Dominion and tho Empire. It was with pride that he had read in the records of the society tit® work they did in helping their comrades at tho front. Not only did they help by seeing that their annual subscriptions to tho society were paid, but the society itself contributed large sums to the war funds. Further, he noticed in tho records of the society that large sums were given for the tuition of soldiers who came back incapacitated. The tablet was a standing memorial of the work of the society. His Excellency was introduced to tho officers of the society, and on leaving was heartily cheered. CHILD'S AWF UL RINGWORM. RED ITCHY ERUPTIONS DEFIED EVERYTHING BUT ZAM-BUK. Children like Zam-Buk for its magical soothing power over pain and soreness. Wise mothers are never without this pure herbal healer. Zam-Buk is proved invaluable not only for healing cuts, burns, scalds, and other injuries, but for the more serious skin and scalp dis. eases that young children often catch from playmates. “My son Edward had ringworm on tho head,” writes Mrs. E. M. Taylor, of 32 Cameron Street, Richmond. Victoria, '‘.lie suffered three months, though we consulted two doctois and a chemist, who prescribed lotions and ointments. “On mv husband's advice I begun to treat the' child with Zam-Buk. Systematic use of this wonderful healer speedily took away the irritation, and ounsed all the ringworms to die away.” Zam-Buk is simplv invaluable in homes where there are young children. There’s nothing like it for treating eczema, poisoned sores, abscesses. or other skin troubles. Is- «d. Ar 3s. Gd. at alldealers. —Advt.
