The estimates for the current year were carefully considered by Rangitikei County Council un Saturday. In some oases the estimates .'involved slight increases in rates/ but it was considered the time was inopportune for raising them, and by exercising a little economy they were reduced to the amount struck in previous years. In several Ridings reductions were made —in Waugaeha and Otairi by ancJ Kangitoto and Rangatira 1-I6d, whilst in the Te Kapua ,and Awarua Ridings the amounts have been reduced to a and 1% respectfully. A bigger reduction is shown in the last two Ridings mentioned, but the valuations are much higher than last year, which means that the income from rates will be about the same. Last year Council kept within the estimates in nearly every Riding, the favourable season, no doubt, having somethingg to do with this. m YE YOU a cough, cold, nose, throat or lung trouble? Then take the GENUINE SANDER EXTRACT! It cures stomach, bowel and kidney complaints, rheumatism and neuralgia: 5 drops in a tabiespoonful of water. It is a mistake to apply ointment to a sore. To outs, braises, sprains, festering sores, ulcers, eczema and other skin diseases, take 15 drops of the SANDER EXTRACT to a tablespoonful of Oliva oil and apply. The effect will surprise you. Remember that SANDER’S EX- \ TRACT heals when all else fails. Do 1 not expect the good effects from any of the so-called Eucalyptus Extracts or Oils. They are dangerous on ao--count of the irritation they produce. It is the SANDER EXTRACT only that contains the healing ethereal substances of the euoalypt in such form as to benefit promptly aud lastingly.
