NEWS AND NOTES.

A Maori, who was summoned for debt at the Hastings Magistrate's Court, expressed murfh indignation at being cited to appcaT under the name of Hooligan. He was a Maori, and he was proud of it, and so lie objected to being described under such a distinctly foreign appellation. An innovation was introduced at a late farewell to a couple of northern tnoopcra departing for Trentham, wfao were kissed "good-bye" by all the young ladies present at the function. The universal adoption of this practice (a correspondent suggests) would no doubt greatly stimulate recruiting, and patriotic young ladies might take the hint. GOOD FOR ALL.

The Government is (says the Wellington Times) making enquiry regarding a suggestion put forward by Mr. A. Harris (Waitem&ta) that with a view to providing land for returned soldiers, the Lands Department should plough, subsoil and plant with shelter and fruit trees, say, 1000 acTcs of the Swanson kauri gum reserve* The reserve in question is stated to be eminently suited for fruit culture and poultry-keeping, being on the railway line and adjacent to Auckland, and Mr. Harris suggests that if it were partially improved it would be readily taken up by returned soldiers. YOUR RHEUMATISM CAN BE CURED. Don't think you are incurable because you've had rheumatism for years and have tried almost every "cure" you've seen advertised, without relief. Waste no more money on lotions and embrocations. Rheumatism is a blood disease, and all the external treatment in the world cannot purify your blood—the cure must be effected internally, and RHUUMO be the remedy. The uric acid which sours your blood and settles at the joints, causing the painful swellings, is dissolved and eradicated ,by RHEUMO; the blood is purified, the j swelling disappears, and thus a cure is effected. Hundreds of New Zealanders have been cured of Rheumatic complaints by this reliable specific. Mr. Cannitch, of Temuka, writes: "For a long time I 1 have suffered from Rheumatics, using all kinds of remedies. Hearing of RHEUMO, I tried it, and have taken a few bottles, and to-day can say that I have not felt better for the past 10 years." You try RHEUMO, It Temoves the cause of the disease and the cure is permanent. -23 6d and 4s 6d bottle. A year ago the "patriotic potato patch" figured much in print (says the Wellington Post). Many a waste place, ordinarily a prey to the pitiless gorse and other weeds, had its surface cleared, tilled and planted for the comfort of unfortunate folk here and abroad. This was the real, solid help, strongly based on an increase of produce—a good use of idle land. Several citizens are enquiring as to the planting programme for this season in various parts of New Zealand. Are the patriotic societies to include the potato in their work for the Empire? FEAR OF NASTY MEDICINE. The fear of having to take a nasty medicine causes majiy a child to hide irregularity of the bowels. Chamberlain's Tablets are so pleasant and easy to take and so free from harsh effect that they can be given with safety to children. Every mother should keep Chamberlain's Tablets in her medicine chest, Sold by all chemists and storekeepers. A Wellington resident who returned the other day from Rarotonga was a spectator of a fire-walking procession on that island less than a fortnight ago. Europeans and natives combined to hold a carnival for patriotic purposes, and the affair proved a huge success. The gala extended over three days, and wound up with a big ball. After paying expenses it was found that the net proceeds amounted to about £450. The Wellingtonian describes the fire-walking feat as one of considerable interest to those who had not seen anything of the kind before. The procession consisted of about a hundred bare-footed persons, of whom a dozen were Europeans, and a fee of sixpence per head Was collected from each one of them. The chief priest conducted the ceremony. The journey over the hot- stones was accomplished without discomfort by the natives, but it was understood that the whites found the experience none too pleasant. DO YOU ENJOY WHAT YOU EAT? If you don't, your food does not do you much good. There is no way to maintain the health and strength of mind and body except nourishment. There is no way to nourish the body except, through the stomach. The stomach must be kept healthy, pure, and sweet, or the strength will go down, and disease will result. I)r.

A couple of young New Zealand soldiers, when going to the Dardanelles on the Mannganui, had a whim to try the sea as Cupid's messenger. Each wrote a letter to his sweetheart, and they enclosed both letters in a bottle, with another directed to the finder, asking that the letters be forwarded to their respective addresses The bottle was thrown into the sea when the vessel was 210 miles from the coast of Australia. It was picked up on the north-west coast of Tasmania. The bottle was east adrift on June 19, was picked up on August 1, and the letters reached New Zealand on August 27. The finder, iu opening the bottle on the beach, had the envelope uf one letter damaged, so he sent both to one address, Napier, and asked the Napier lady to forward the one addressed to the Wellington lady. Both girls wore unknown to each other up tr this tirnf, but the letter of the Napier young lady enclosing the letter from the sea to the VVellington young lady, may be the beginning of a lifelong friendship commenced in an unuiual and romantio way.
