MORE WONDERFUL STILL.

When you burn or scald yourself all that is necessary is to apply Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. This liniment gives immediate relief, also Reals the part in one-third the time .taken by any other application; but what is more wonderful still is that .there is seldom any scar left after Chamberlain’s Pain Balm is used. For sale everywhere.—Advt.

Treasury direct £(1(13,100; and applications direct by the Banks themselves £4,000,000, of Avhieli the Bank of Now Zealand applied for £2,000,000. Then there were sundry applications for £200,000; then again sundry applications of various kinds outside of these totalling £1,510,000. Though the date for closing the main loan was fixed for to-day,'-’ added Sir Joseph, “anyintending applicants who send along iheir requests during the next week or so, up to Seifi ember Isf, in fact, will be received.” I should expect to find that will mean probably another £200,000 or £300,000 at least. It is hardly necessary to say that the result is eminently satisfactory, it shows lli;> i those in the country of small means as well as those of moderate and of large means recognise the importance of the occasion, and that the vital character of the interests of the country from the point of view of national assistance in the way of funds needed for Avar purposes has been recognised by them, Apart from tbo fact that I lie iiivesfment is a good one it demonstrates that Avhen the Government appeal to the people to help to proA’ide the sincAVS of war to secure the vielory Avhich avo look forward to Aviuuing, I hope, before many months pass, the resooiise is verv line indeed.

“So far as War Loan certificates from £1 lo £SO, (hroug'h Ihe Po.-I Office are concerned,” continued Sir Joseph "Ward, “as I ImA’o already intimated, applications for these will not he closed for some Aveeks (o come. This is an entirely ncAV scheme, and a different class of investor is brought by it into touch Avith the financing of the country for the first time in its history, and, as in every other Avalk of life, when a now me!hod affecting a, class of people avlio have not been investors before, is brought into opera (ion, necessarily a, longer time is required lo give those avlio have not seen the adAmnlages, and indeed, the necessity of joining in the undertaking, an opportunity for full consideration and to give the Government also an opportunity for educa!ion propaganda.”

Asked whether AVar Loan certificates would be left open indefinitely, the Minister said; “1 don’t think that is necessary, in addition to which 1 look forward to the lime when we shall he hack into the ordinary groove, and to the time when there will he no necessity for investments for War Loan purposes. The limes through which we are passing are such (hat. (lie greater the number of our people, from (lie humblest to the highest, who are directly helping to carry on the war, the heller it will he for the country when (he wav is over; for then a keener interest, and, i hope, a more effective one, will he taken by all classes in (he changes that must then eventuate.

“1 have just received advice from (he Secretary to Hie Dost Office, who says that, in his opinion, the War Loan certificates sold so far represent only a fraction of what, will he sold. That is an opinion in which I concur. “The War Loan has been oversubscribed, and, ou behalf of the country, I will retain the full amount. Allotment will lie made in full to all who have subscribed. None will be disappointed. Only £8,000,000 avus asked for locally,

hut Parliament authorised £.1(5,000.000 in all, and (he needs for money for war purposes are sue!) that the surplus can he readily availed of, so that there will he no disappointed applicants.”
