BROOKLYN PATHS

Complaint was voiced at the monthlymeeting of the Brooklyn Municipal Electors' Association last evening at the condition of certain paths in the district. The opinion of the meeting was that a definite danger existed to pedestrians in the state of the paths, and that immediate repairs should be made. Mr. O. Wannell said that owing to a burst water pipe under a flight of steps, on the track between Dorking Road and Bell Road, the soil had gradually washed away, leaving the steps without support. The water, instead of being conducted away through the pipe, was flowing under the steps and forming large pools on the track through which residents had tG »olk. He said that frequent attempts had been made to have the position rectified, but the danger to pedestrians still existed. . ' Mr W Wigston said that the track through Central Park from Washington Avenue was in a muddy state, and afforded no support to those who regua Mr H Wright said that nothing had been done to improve the path through Nairn Street Reserve, which was still in a bad condition. It was decided to ask the City Council to have the matter of footpaths considered. . , ~ . Dr L. G. Austin reported that negotiations had been concluded for the completion of Mills Road. The work would commence in the near future. A GARDENING PROBLEM SOLVED. An Aucklander, who was very proud of his garden, was watching his gardener at work, and was torn between his desire to have the job finished or to send the gardener home, as he was obviously suffering from a very heavy cold. The mistress of the house came to the rescue and gave the gardener a half-full bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver, telling him to take a dose or two right away, and to keep the rest of the "Baxters" and persevere with it until the cold had gone. When the gardener next visited the house he was a fit man, arid gave the credit to "Baxters." Particularly at this time of the year, it is most dangerous to allow a cold to develop. Sufferers should keep warmly clad, keep their feet dry, avoid fresh chills, and above all, take "Baxters" regularly in accordance with the directions. The beauty of "Baxters" is that it is ideal for parents, children, and grandparents. For. .learly 80 years "Baxters" has proved itself the best remedy for coughs, colds, and most bronchial afflictions. Every home should have its bottle of "Baxters." Obtainable in three sizes, Is 6d, 2s 6d, and 4s 6d from every chemist and store throughout New Zeai land. —Advt.
