An objection often taken to bowling 'is that it'interferes with business. '- : Mri ; S. Inder, President of the Masterton Bowling Club, has no time for this objection.

In referring td bowling interfering with business, Mr S. Inder said, in

his opening speech at the Masterton green yesterday: —"It is known for a fact that a well-known Admiral, on an important occasion, could finish his game of bowls and lick the Spaniards,, afterwards. Now, bowling enables

■«s to put-renewed energy and vigour into our work, so that we are able, after playing our game, to 'lick the Spaniards' in the nature of office, or other work." In his annual report the Minister

for Agriculture states that there are at least forty men. who are proving that egg-production can be made a successful commercial enterprise, and this result has been largely brought about owing to the practical instruction provided by the Department. "Unfortunately," he adds,, "the same attention is not being paid to- -table ; poultry, and it is my intention to see thq,t this phase.of the business'' ceive more attention in the future.".. IF YOU HAVE - A Cough, Cold, JNose, Throat, or Lung Trouble, Stomach, Bowel, or Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, USE SANDER'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT; 5 drops in a tablespoon water. Remember, you cannot expect the good effects from any sort of eucalyptus. SANDER'S EXTRACT CURE 3 because it contains ethereal and antiseptic substances not contained in other Eucalyptus products. These latter, made by persons ignorant in chemistry, and provided with fancy names and labels by trading concerns who do not know what they contain, have caused grievous harm, and a death has resulted from their use. - Do not apply an ointment to a sore. It keeps back the secretion. To wounds, bruises, Bprains, burns, ul.cers, eczema, and other skin troubles APPLY SANDER' SEXTRACT, 15 drops in a tablespoon of olive oil. The effect will surprise you. SANDER'S EXTRACT HEALS because it is freed from the irritating constituents contained in other eucalyptus preparation. It heals when others irritate. Insist upon the genuine SANDER EUCALYPTI EXTRACT- and you will dwivx the benefit.^ Nature's Embrocation. ROOKE'S Eucalyptus Oil. The finest that. Australia' produces.
