Most of the money required to'send the New Zealand athletes to the Olympiad is now in hand or assured. It is considered that £1750 is needed for the position to be perfectly safe, and £IOSO is the total accounted for. It is not thought that there will be any difficulty in securing the balance.

The fourth annual meeting of the New Zealand Eennet Company was lield at Patea on Tuesday, Mr. H. D. Forsyth presiding. The report and balancesheet showed a profit on the year's working of £541 (Is lid. The chairman remarked that during the year there had been a great scarcity 'of rennet, and the 37,090 calf veils purchased by the company bad yielded 513 kegs of rennet, which had been responsible for nine to ten thousand additional tons of cheese being manufactured over and above what would have been manufactured had the company not been in existence. Mr. Powdrell congratulated the company on the year's working, remarking that the position would have been much better but for the fact that 160,000 lambs' veils had proved to be worse than useless. The retiring directors, Messrs Forsyth and W. Fisiier, were re-elected unopposed. A comparative trial of the different washing powders on the market will result in a veritable triumph for "Fairy Wonder" Dry Soap, t\e Queen of household helps.

Clarke will sell bis pedigree and grade herds.

The great value of medicinal warmth in the treatment of pain and blood congestion, as well as in the various inflammatory conditions of the nerves, has been affirmed by scientific research, and established by medical practice. Tills application of concentrated heat is effected by using a specially medicated cotton wool, known as Wawn's Wonder Wool, the fibres of which are impregnated with valuable medicinal pain-re-lieving 'essences. The natural warmth of the wool, reinforced as it is by these medicaments, creates a pleasant tingling, wanning sensation, and by relieving blood congestion and stimulating circulation, banishes all pain and inflammation. Sore Throat, Croup, Headache, as well as Toothache, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Lumbago, Gout, etc., melt away—like heat melts ice—under its stimulating, warming influences. Wawn's Wonder Wool is approved by the medical profession, is in constant use by nurses in the leading hospitals ,and elsewhere, and it has been praised by tens of thousands. Easy to handle, easy to keep on, clean, sure in its work, Wawn's Wonder Wool costs but 2/6 at chemists or stores, or post free from the N.JJ. Agents, Salmond and Spraggon, Ltd, Wellinjjton §
