HOMELESS FAMILY.

NO HOME TO BE GOT. CAMPING IN A DOMAIN. Victims of the house shortage—Mr. John Lye, an Addition workshop? employee, his wife and nine children—have been forced to camp out in tents at the. Pleasant Point Domain, South New Brighton, C'hristcliiirch. All through the rain, wind and sleet of the past seven days they were without proper shelter and decent looking conveniences. "We cannot get a house anywhere," said Mr. Lye. "Landlords object to the children. About a week ago I paid £1 deposit to an agent for a fourroomed cottage at North Beach. I thought I was fixed. When I came home in the morning after working on night shift my wife told me that the deposit had been returned. The owner objected to letting his house to people with children or to parties of young men. I have tried other agents, but they laugh at me. 'Pay £IOO down,' they say, 'and you can have a house.' A friend of mine, a returned soldier, gave up his house along the road the other day. He had been paying 25s a week rent. The landlord is charging the new tenant oos. Summer is here now and the owners want stiff holiday prices." . The plight of the Lye family is exciting some concern at New Brighton. So far, however, there seems no proper solution. The house shortage problem is probably more pronounced at. New Brighton than in any other suburb or any part of Ohristchurcli. The demand for summer accommodation is exceptionally heavy and the supply is less than it has been for many years. THE COST OF NEGLECT Think of the cost of neglecting your kidneys; it means that you are allowing kidney poison to accumulate, in the. system, and these poisons cause violent pains in the back, dropsical swellings, urinary disorders, gravel, stone, rheumatism, gout, lassitude, sleeplessness, inclination to worry, excessive thirst, neuralgia. The genuine Bonn's Backache Kidney Pills restore to strained, overworked kidneys their full power of filtering the dangerous kidney poisons from the blood and discharging them i Irom the system. Head this case: ' Mr. A. E. Ni*bet, Calvert Road, New Plymouth, says: "Some time ago I caught a severe cold, which settled on my kidneys, and in consequence I suffered agony from backache. I often I used to feel too ill to attend to my I work, which was made doubly hard by weakness and pain, but it had to be done. My trade is that of a blacksmith, f.nd this work, as everyone knows, is very hard on the back. Other symptoms of kidney disorder were sleepless nights, dizzy feelings, and disordered secretions. After trying all sorts of nedicincs without deriving any benefit. T was urged to give Doan's Backache Kidney Pills a trial. 1 got ferule at once, and when 1 had finished three bottles of these grand Pills T was completely restored to good health." j Mrs. Nisbet confirms the above, eight ■ years later: "My husband has had no trouble with his kidneys since Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cured him eight years a.uo. His lasting cure ought to j convince the most sceptical." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at .'is per bottle, or will be posted on receipt of price by Fo<ter-McC lellan Co., 15 Hamilton Street. Sydney. l
