A cordial invitation is extended to all lady and gentlemen members of the Masterton Club, and all other Overseas Clubs, to be present at 2.30 p.m. WHAT IS CEREGEN? We mav be deprived of starches, sugars, and fats and still live, but without Proteid we die. There is little doubt that the run down conditions of our systems and nervous disorders are maily .caused by an insufficient supply of Proteid a.iid Phosphates, to repair the waste tissues. The white flour so largely in use to-day is so finely milled and treated that practically all the proteid and Phosphates and fats are removed, and in consequence our bodies suffer partial starvation. CEREGEN' is Proteid-Phosphate nerve food, in a concentrated and easily assimilated form, and is unequalled as a geneal Tonic and bodv builder. Tt is sold in tins, 2s 6d. Jr 6d, 6s 6d and 12s 6d by J. V. GORDON, Chemist, Masteton, who has tko sole agency for the Wair&rapa. Posted fret t» %m 44«kh»sf. *

He said there appears to bo na other snre way of protecting' our industries from dislocation, ruinous delays, and absolute

blackmailing tlnn by a firm and positive agreement between all farmers personally to shear, 'slaughter and ship or unship our produce whenever or wherever strikes occur which threaten to damage our business. These observations were applauded. At the civil sitting of the Magistrate's Court in Masterton yesterday, Mr L. Gr.

"It is outrageous that this country should spend tens of thousands of pounds annually on its Territorial Defence scheme, whilst settlers in the ibackblocks are denied roads to their properties. lam willing to take arifle to-morrow in defence of our fair country, should the occasion arise, but the present Territorial scheme is shameful waste and extravagance." — Such was the outspoken condemnation expressed by a member of the local Farmers' Union meeting on Friday evening, says the Bruce Herald. Other members concurred, but thought the Defence Act too big a problem to tackle, and referred the objector to the Hon. Jas. Allen. "The prices the people pay for most of the things they eat, drink, wear, art! use," siys the election manifesto issued by the Australian Prime Minister, "are not competitive prices, but fixed and arranged prices, and as most of those who fix or arrange these prices are concerned chiefly with getting exhorbitant profits these prices are not fair and reasonable, but are considerably higher than would be the case under free competition. The present position is intolerable." The manifesto adds that Labour was not opposed to combination, which makes for efficient and economical production, but is determined to check monopoly and extor- [ tion.

An interesting debate took place* last evening in the Fire Brigade Station at Masterton.

Several speakers expressed the opinion that with the Fire Board as at present constituted, there is littlechance of any improvement of a substantial nature. Until Brigades are represented on the Boards, it cannot be expected to obtain the best results, either from a financial point of ■view or from inducing (members to take us great an interest in brigade matters as they did some few years ago. It is intended to hold further debates-' during the winter naonths.

Liniments and piasters can give* but temporary relief. No cure can be effected until the cause it removed.
