ON THE TOFUA. What a Christcliurch Man Saw. A Christchurch business man returned from a trip to the South Seas recently, and when the Tofua left Auckland he was surprised to observe, a large stock of Baxter's Lung Preserver on the ship. ." Do you sell much of that stuff V" he inquired of one of the stewards. " Too •right we do. There is more demand for Baxters on this ship than for any other Cough Mixture. I have noticed that to be the case for quite a number of voyages. It is so easy to catch a slight chill when travelling, and under such circumstances Baxter's Lung Preserver is found to bo a wonderful specific. It does you good from the first dose. Eases sore throats, and its tonic properties help to build you up. If you are travelling, add a bottle of " Baxter's '* to your outfit. 2/0 buys a generous sized bottle, or, better still, get the family size at 4/0. — (Ad.) A fire which started on Gwavas station (Hawke's Bay) about a week ago on the Winter range is still unsubdued. The scarcity of water entails the necessity of beating out the fire whenever the wind carries it on to the grass. A good deal of waste timber in the vicinity renders the possibility of the fire continuing for some time most probable unless a good rainfall takes place. It is being carefif'ly watched in the meantime. Quite recently ii grass fire occurred on an farm caused, it is thought, by a carelessly thrown away lighted match. "Taxation in New Zealand is one of the greatest questions at the present time. The remission on taxation during the last session was inoro spectacular than real, as many small farmers can tell you, as few of the smaller farmers reach the £300 mark at all."— Mr. Perrclle at Bluff.
