You want it. So much is admitted. But pianos are costly things, you say. You are afraid ypu can't afford it. That is where you are mistaken. You can get a superb piano from one of the world'b great makers, and you can pay for it in such a way that the purchase will involve no pinching, no serious sacrifice, no bother of any sort. And all the time you are paying, the piano is brightening your home. •

Until you. have a piano , in the house, you can scarcely imagine the difference it makes. No woman ,' is really contented till she gets one. Think of that!

We can help you t» a selection. We offer you the full benefit of all our knowledge and experience. You can have one of the superb pianos of the four famous houses— Broadwood, Steimvay, Lipp or Ronisch— or any of the- others. If you are buying a piano, ,cash or terms, to see us is to save money.

AVtilie annual meeting of tte'Farmers' Union,'says an the chairman said that the time was ripe for *he farmers to organise to throw aside petty jealousies regarding party, and combine to place in Parliament men who would look after their interests.

IF YOU HAVE A Cough, Cold, Nose, Throat orLung Trouble, Stomach, Bowel, _ orLiver Complaint, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Use SANDER'S EUOALYP--TI EXTRACT; 5 d F ops in a .table--spoon water. Remember, you cannot: expect the good effects from any B ort of eucalyptus. Sander's Extract cures because it contains ethereal and antiseptic substances not. contained in other Eucalyptus prod- ( acta These latter, made by persons, ignorant in chemistry, and provided, with fancy names and labels by tradine concerns who do not know what they contain, have earned grievous, harm,' and a death has resulted from, their use. Do not apply anointment to a sore. It keeps back the secretion. To wounds, bruises, .sprains, burns, ulcers, eczema, and other skin, "roubles, Apply Sander'* Extract; 5droDS in a tablespoon of olive oil. The effect will/surprise you Sand--»c WT+rnrt- Heals because it is freed' f ?hi iJritSig constituents coutamea iu when, others irritate. iS upon tno genuine SANDER'SEDOAIIpTI EXTRACT, .and you, will derive the benefit.
