CHILBLAINS

You suffer Why? Cold weather; had circulation. I-lavo them every Winter; can't banish them, only endure them. This reasoning is foolish, Rexona will drive away your Chilblains. Many who havo suffered for years, and endured agony every Winter with resignation, avoiding the good cheer of the lireside, nursing thciT cracked and bleeding hands in the coldest quarter of the room, now thank Kexona for Winter comfort. Bexona represents skin health, whether of feet, hands, scalp, or body. _ A few minutes spend at night anointing the feet with this eool salve means foot comfort, all next day. Rubbed gently into the skin of poor suffering hands, a pair of soft, loose gloves to protect them, the unsightly chilblains must vanish. The hands neither hurt nor cause you to blush by their appearance. Winter work and Winter sports may then be indulged in without fear of resulting agony, for this should ho the healthful time of the | year, when we are storing up strength i and energy for the coming Sumtaer. I Rexona is sold in triangular tin n at 1/G | and 3s. Obtainable everywhere

Councillor Cox stated at the last meeting of the Petono Borough Council •that he Itvas surprised to see that so many men were able to go to the races in the middle of the week. "If so many men could spare the time from work it was a pity they could not be given a pick and shovel and put in the time wasted in helping to win the war," said Councillor Cox. "Anzae Bill" was the name of a wild boar caught in the ranges at the hack of Masterton and put up to auction at the Ram Pair held recently in Masterton. In two afternoons the 'bidding was restricted to ten minutes each time, and in twenty minutes £2600 was raised in aid of the Returned Soldiers' Club at Masterton.

When sentencing prisoners at the Supreme Court at Napier, the judge remarked that several prisoners whom the Prisons Board had released to enlist for active service had done exceedingly well at the war. Reports from England showed that all except one had merited their release.

"We owe our safety at this presenj moment to the "British Fleet and to the French and British Armies. I for one am not content! to rest under that kind of obligation, and I do not believe that my fellow-countrymen are content to rest under it. We should owe our safety to our own strength and our awn courage, and to the resipect We inspire in the foe."—Mr. Eoosevelt.

Sir Hed worth Mens at Liverpool said: The other day I met General Smuts, one of the best generals, one of the most agreeable of men. I was introduced at dinner. The General said: "Hullo, you are my old enemy." I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you know that one of the first shots you fired into Ladysmith very nearly killed me?" I answered, "Well, thank God it didn't." (Cheers).

It was stated at yesterday's meeting of the Taranaki Hospital and Charitable Aid Board that the accounts owing by ex-patients of the hospital amounted to about £IO.OOO, and this elicited the remark from a member that some people seemed to consider the hospital a free institution. The secretary said the expatients had no reason for such a belief, as they received their accounts regularly, many of them with footnotes attached. Mr. M. J. MoKevnolds suggested that "bits of Wue paper" might prove effectual in recovering some of the money, and gave notice to move at next meeting that a list of accounts .be placed in the solicitors' hands for collection.
