n*s) Wars and Wharves For a small country with a little more than a million and a half people, New Zealand can well be proud of the excellent wharves and harbour facilities possessed by its many ports. These are great national assets, which are doubly valuable under war conditions. , Out of the savings conserved by their Society, members of the A.M.P. have helped considerably in financing the development of New Zealand's port facilities. The A.M.P. Society takes a natural pride in the fact that, over the years, its members (who own it) have so built up its strength that it now has nearly £15,000,000 invested in New Zealand National and Local Government Loans. In addition it has placed at the Government’s disposal for War purposes nearly Three Million pounds In New Zealand. The Society has now lent over £51,000,000 to the Australian and New Zealand Governments and is adding to this total about £500,000 every month. mm nnH .hUMfe AM P SOCIETY ■■■Hi ®SB V HUH ® RBI • "A sure friend In uncertain times" THE LARGEST MUTUAL LIFE OFFICE IN THE EMPIRE Establlihed 1849.

Biliousness SLUGGISH LIVER If you have coated tongue, unpleasant breath, sick headaches, dizzjiess, heartburn, pain under the right shoulder blade, and irritability of the nerves, it may be due to the condition of your liver. A sluggish and overloaded liver produces “Bilious” attacks, which make life a burden. It makes you dull without ambition, depressed, easily tired by any effort, and distorts your outlook on life. You haven’t energy to work or the spirit to enjoy recreation. Dr. Morse’s Indian Root Pills are excellent for toning up and invigorating the liver, stimulating the secretion and flow of bile, aiding the digestion, and restoring natural bowel action. —l7 W. H.
