At the next meeting of the Manawatn County Council we shall most likely hear of sente fresh developments in regard to the Shannon Ferry. Until a bridge is built we may continue to suffer by this primitive and old-fash-ioned method of crossing the river. The want of a bridge is absolutely necessary, especially as the traffic between Foxton and Shannon must increase considerably in the near future! Visitors notice our backwardness. A return of the Ministers' travelling allowances and expenses for the year ending March, 1903, was laid on the table of the House. Following are the amountsßight Hon. R. J.

According to reports of a great number of physicians of the tightest professional standing, there are offered Eucalpyti Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities. In protection of the world wide fame of Sanders and Sons preparation we pnblisb a few abstracts from these reports, wbioh bear fully out that no reliance can be -ilaoed in other products Dr. W. B. Rush, Oakland Fla., writes It is sometimes difficult to obtain the genuine article (Sander and Sons). I employed different other preparations ; they had no therapeutic value and no effects. In one case the effects were similar to the oil camphors, the objectionable action of which is well known." Dr H. B. Drake, Portland, Oregon, sa y ß __<'Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander and Sons) I use no other form of eucalyptus as I think it is by far the best." Dr L. P. Preston’s Lynchburg, Va., writes—" I never used any preparation other than Sander and Son’s, as Hound the others to be almost useless.’ 1 Dr J. T. Oormell, Kansas Oity, Zans;, says —“Care has to be exercised not to be supplied with spurious preparations, as done by my supply druggist.” Dr H. H. Hart, New York, says—" It goes without saying that Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract is the best in the market.” Dr James Reekie, Fairview, N. M.— " So wide is with me the range of'applications of Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract that I «arry it with me wherever I go. I find it most useful in diarrhtea, all throat troubled oronchilis, eto."^ Neoleot Always Dangerous!— To the iverage man it seems childish to doctor a co'd, and unless it becomes particularly mnoying to him, little or no attention is riven it. Often a co d contracted in the vinter is allowed to run until the openin ' )f spring. This is a grave mistake, as ;ven though the warm weather may bring relief, the system is thereby weakened and rendered susceptible to disease. A cold should never be neg'eoted, whether it be a child or an adult who is afflicted, as health and often life is risked. A bo!t eofCh >m berlain’s Cough Kenedy, costing' but a sm ill amount wiP bring speedy relief, and iy its use all dangerous consequences will be avoided. For sa’e by E. Healey, chemist, Foxton. The only reallv herbal Toothache Remedy is Bock’s Herb Extract. This invariably relieves the pain and proves permanent in most cases’ Messrs McGruer, Taylor & C ~ of Orepuki, writeP.

Our local butchers have been compelled to raise their prices. A notice to this effect appears to-day, which housewives may with advantage read.

An unhsual divorce case was heard at Wellington on Wednesday.
