Good soaking rain has fallen continuously throughout this district during the past 48 hours. The children ol' the Moutoa school spent a right royal time last night in the Moutoa Hall on the occasiou of the annual concert and prize-giv-ing. _Mr Aitken (member of the Wanganui Education Board), distributed the prizes and paid a tribute to the splendid behaviour and good progress of the jmpils. Father Christinas fraternised with the kiddies and distributed toys ami greetings. A medical correspondent writes to the Christchurch Star: It is astonishing that so long as we are in health our temperature is always the same, viz. between 98 and 99 degrees Fahrenheit. That is why the doctor takes your temperature with a clinical thermometer. Unless you are ill, the thermometer ought to register 98 degrees. It does not matter whether it is midsummer or midwinter, it matters not whether you are in the cricket field making a “century” with the perspiration streaming down vour face, or whether you are shivering in an east wind watching a football match, your temperature is always the same. The nigger sweltering on the line and the Eskimo sitting on the North Pole are both exactly the same tempera are as registered by the thermometer. One’s own feelings are deceptive. It is well known that in a paroxysm of malaria when the temperature is mounting up and the patient is quite hot he will shiver till his teeth chatter again and he will draw the bedclothes around him closer and closer and try to keep warm.
Messrs J. K. Hornhlow and Rangiheuea proceeded to Hawera to-day to participate in a Masonic tunelion to be held there this evening.

McDonald, stock inspector, prosecuted on behalf of the Department. and drew attention to the '.'.•gleet of absentee owners of land ir. the district.

Your attention is drawn to the C. M. Ross Co.’s change-of advertisement in to-day’s issue. A perusal of same, on page 4. should convince the most exacting that there is absolutely no reason to go elsewhere for Christmas and seasonable goods. Why go from your own town to buy when you can buy better and cheaper at home. Shop early.
