On Sunday night a concert will he, given at the Liberty The.tre by the Harbour Lights Glee Club, .1 aid of a fund to relieve the distress caused by unemployment amongst returned soldiers in Christchufch: The Liberty ordhestra has kindly consented to play , selections, and it is. hoped that a very large; attendance, will help to, swell the funds for such a worthy, object. The Glse Club organised by Madame,GoWer Burns, will make its initial "Brain storms" are peculiar afflictions. During a case that oame before 1 Mr K. W. Bundle, S.M., at the Auckland Magistrate's Court a medical witness stated that the lady was suffering from acute mania in the form of 'brain storms. The peculiar point was that tin© lady, when in the witness-box later, ■answered questions from both her own counsel ana the opposing one in a most lucid manner, and stood the- test for fu.ly half an hour.. .To the onlooker she seemed a really good witness. His Worship finally said: "This is certainly a case for private arrangement." Counsel then conferred in another rcom, and the- Court was not further troubled ""witlh. the matter.
Concerning "little ills" and the weak link in public health, « writer in the Auckland "Star" mentions the fact that of the minor ills the common "cold" or "cold ir/the head" is one of the most- unp!e*asant and the most infectious. Yet children with tlhis unpleasant ailment are permitted to visit others, or invite others to come'in when they are suffering. The Eame applies to grown-up folk who have no conscience about carrying Tound catarrh germs and distributing them broadcast. The same writer emphasises the importance of tlhe antiseptic dressings of small cuts, bruises, and burns, which often would " .'■ "/-s
avoid much further trouble. Neglected sore throats are.dangerous, and a mild antiseptic gargle again would be a sensible and easy precaution. Bad smells should be carefully investigated with promptitude, and such should net I>2 allowed near any house. These are all "little things." hut if even-body regarded till em in the same light as the writer, there would be considerably less sickness in the world.
