Mathew Sharpe, engineer of the steamer Huia, has been appointed Inspector of Machinery and Engine Surveyor. A lively meeting ot the Painters Union, lasting until nearly 2 a.m., decided to instruct its delegates to tbe Trades Council to vote for tho recinding of the resolution against sending away an Eighth Contingent, and also tbe anti-war expression oE opinion. Three dolegates thereupon tendered their resignations. Constable Beattie, of Waitara, is certainly entitled to a word of praise for the patience and perseverance he displayed in the capture of the man Schreiner. He, acting on information which turned out to be correct, took up a position on the beach north of Urenui, where he waited from 9.30 p.m. till 2 a.m. when his patience was rewarded by the escaped prisoner coming along, and recogn'sing the game was up he gave no further trouble. The capture of the four escaped prisoners at Wanganui and the one here in so short a time Bpeaks well for the efficiency of the police force. The last party of escaped prisoners were, it will beremembeied, caught by civilians.

AFTER THE ROYAL VISIT. Abtsjr exciting times the health of children requires very special looking after. That the child is father to the man,' physically as well as mentally, is one of those truths that can never be too often insictod upon, and the thoughtful parent will be careful above all to sea that her child has the proper nourishment to establish its constitution. A good constituiion is a rock on which alone success and strength can be built. Among the various foods that science commends intlie;.e days for this purpose, none holds a I higher place than Nhaves Food fob Inlitahtb ANO Invalids. According to tne best melioal testimony, and, what is perhaps better still, the grateful testimony of thousands of hippy mother, this food contains all the essential elements of strength, and while it is pleasant to the taste and eagerly taken by children, it may also be used by persons of all ages with decided Benefit. It is a bone-building, health-sus taining product that cannoi ba too warmly recommended and we gladly add aur words of praise to that of the numerous medical journals and experts that have recommended j it. Mmavh's Food should have a prominent'. place in the dietary of every house where/ there are children or invalids.—Advt. 1 1
