An elderly man named Archibald Alexander Glass, who had resided at Whitehead's Coffee Palace, Cjok Street, Auckland, for the last two years, was f mnl dead in his bedroom on Saturday afternoon. He went to bed about nine o'clock on Friday night, and he was then in his normal stato of health. As ho did not put in an appearance on Saturday afternoon, a visit was paid to his bedroom, and he was fouu 1 lying on the floor. Deceased formerly lived at Maioro, Waiuku, and the remains were interred at Waiuku on Monday. At the inquest Dr Keller deposed that death was due tb fatty degeneration of the heart, and a verdict in accordance with this evidence was returned by the coroner.

At a time like the present, when cost of living is increasing as a result of the war, it seems singular that a great waste of trout should be permitted in the Taupo district. A gentleman who has just returned from Taupo informed a press representative that for the la>t six weeks olhcials have been taking line trout out of the Tongariro River and its tributaries, presumably to prevent the lake becoming overstocked. This may be necessary from an angler's point of view, but what does seem wrong is that these fish are absolutely wasted, being simply buried in the ground, whereas there should be little trouble in having them put on tho Auckland market tit for human fool in this cold weather. The extent of fish wasted may be gathered from tho fact that in one haul alone there were no less than 000 line trout.
