‘.‘Good fences make good neighbours.” remarked Mr. Gorringe, Government swine husbandry instructor when, enjoining upon pig farmers at a meeting in Gisborne the necessity tor having their holdings adequately fenced.. Does excessive ‘tea-drinking produce certain forms of cancer? The question was raised in a letter to the London Times by Professor J. Joly, of Trinity College, Dublin. Sir Henry Morris, consulting surgeon of the Cancer Charity of; the Middlesex Hospital, W., told a Daily Mail reporter that in his opinion there were no grounds for believing that tea-drink-ing induced any sort of cancer. “I am not even so sure that there has been an increase of cancer. What I am sure of. is that cancer is hot present in a good many cases where it is supposed to exist,” . The spirit Of youth still persists in a New York City employee, who has just lost his job because he ihad arrived at the age of compulsory retirement. “They needn’t think they can keep me from working with their bld retirement l.aws,” said the veteran, as reported in a daily paper. ‘‘l'll get me a job and do something. I’m only 81, and I'll live a good many years yet. I never felt better, and I don’t need any vacation of any rest. Monday morning-I’m going out to look for a job, and I’ll bet I’ll rind one-” "Damned silly, that’s What it is !” That is the opinion of Mr. El. L. J. Heeseman on the system of setting a minimum- wage (states Hie Christchurch “Sun”). Mr. Heeseman, a union assessor at a sitting of the Conciliation Council, regarding ‘.he retail chemists’ assistants’ dispute, criticised the system, saying that ti e best pmn was that by which the employer paid the man what he was worth. That was done in England, w'heie Mr. Heeseman had worked before, and he had always found the system a satisfactory one. The minimum wage system in New Zealand protected the lazy and incompetent man at the expense of the proficient man. Of course, this statement, coming from a worker, had the secretary of the union, Mr. R. D. Martin, up in arms. Later Mr. Heeseman exploded another bomb, to the discomfiture of Mr. Martin. He said that the workers were willing to have their wages reduced whenever the price of living fell. “No, no,” said Mr. Martin -emphatically, turning on his colleague. “No, no.” For Influenza, take Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
