Something in the nature of quick exchange or sharp practice occurred in the money-order office, at Wanganui recently. A lady went to deposit a £5 note. She handed the note and the deposit book over the counter, but Was asked to make an alteration in the name. She then took the book and note over to the usual de.sk for writing, alongside which a man was standing. Momentarily sjie turned to get a blank slip, and during that interval the smart gentleman substituted £1 for the £5. Imagine the surprisie of the lady when on going back to the counter with the note in her book she learned that its value was only 20s instead of the major sum. For Influenza. Colds take Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
