BEWARE OF BAG-SNATCHING.
A lady met a friend coming out of a chemist's shop in Cuba Street, Wellington, and while walking along beside her remarked: "What have you got that's so precious in your bag that you arc clutching it as though your very life depended upon it?" "Well," replied the other, "haven't you read in the 'Dominion' about the bag-snatching that's going on in Wellington? I intend to hang on pretty tight to mine, anyhow. Besides, I've got a bottle of 'Baxter's' in here and I don't want anybody getting away with that." "Baxter's" is a dependable remedy for all kinds of coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma and influenza. Also possesses invaluable tonic properties. Sold by all chemists and stores. Gener-ous-sized bottle, 2/6; large, family size, 4/6; bachelor's size, 1/6. Buy your bottle to-day, and don't forget to hang on tight to your bag!—(Ad.) Mr. A. J. Stallworthy, Minister of' Health, will arrive in Whangarei tomorrow, and at night he will meet a deputation from the combined school committees in connection with the dental clinic.
