SECOND SALARY “CUT.”

LOCAL BODY’S OPINION. RE DUCTION IMPERATIVE. I The New Plymouth branch of the Civil; Servants’ Association circularised the Stratford County Council on Saturday, protesting against the second bonus "cut,” and asking for an expression of opinion as to the attitude of the public on the matter. Cr J. T. Belcher said it would be unwise to express any opinion and that the question was a matter between the Government and the parties concerned. Cr. Were said everyone was very much concerned. j The Chairman said that the Council ' had cut much more off their employees’ pay than the Government was taking from the civil servants. The Government was to be commended in trying , to cut down expenses. Mr. Massey was ; very lenient indeed, and he kept a num- 1 ber of civil servants on in preference j to turning them adrift, unemployed. 1 Possibly it would be better if he put off j the waste and the wasters, the Govern- i ment service being admittedly over- 1 staffed. He moved: “That this Council, | knowing the financial position ot the ! ratepayers, considers that the Govern- i ment is treating the civil servants i leniently.” Cr. Were said he would second the ! motion with regret. Cr. O'Neill said he did not think the ’ question should have been asked of the Council The Chairman amended his motion to read: “That this Council, knowing the financial position of the ratepayers, con- ' aiders that the ‘cut’ was absolutely imperative.” The Chairman: We are all sorry that this has got to be. The amended motion was carried.

IF WOMEN ONLY KNEW. The way to keep well is to keep the kidneys well. What a lot ol backache there is among women ! And little wonder. A woman’s work and care and worry are enough to break down a much stronger constitution than is given to most women —or men, either, for the matter of that. The kidneys are invariably the first to feel the strain. And they let her needs be known, too, very promptly. Backache is the cry for help; the cry of the sick kidneys. Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills help the kidneys. They are made especially to act on the kidneys. Doan’s Pills cure to stay cured. Read this: Mrs W. C. Symons, 207 St. Aubyn Street, New Plymouth, says:—“l was a martyr to backache for some time, the pain being just above the kidneys. It was particularly severe when I stooped, nd I often used to feel quite ill with it. Seeing Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills adcomplaint, I decided to give them a trial. After taking a couple of bottles there was a marked improvement in my health, and by the time the fifth bottle was finished the pains had gone entirely, and I could move about without suffering in any way. It’s grand to be free of the torture of backache, and I canno x thank Doan’s Pills sufficiently for my perfect cure. I always keep Doan’s Pills ' in the home, and take then now and again just as a preventive against any return of my old complaint.” Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per bottle, or will be posted on receipt of price by Foster-McClellan Co., 15 Hamilton Street, Sydney. ‘S t NVOCkJP“ nO -£ 31ns SC I f I n (I The Best Para Rubber is used in the manufacture of North British “Unique” Hot Water Bottles.
