SUMMER MEETING CANTERBURY PARK TROTTING CLUB MANY VISITORS TO ADDINGTON The New Year dawned pleasantly yesterday.

Ine beaches, the tennis tournament at Wilding Park, the athletic sports gatherings in the country all provided interest and entertainment for many, but to hundreds there is no sport so exciting, so exhilarating as trotting races, and whatever comes or dc:s not come a trotting meeting never fai s to capture he imagination of the P ubl ' c anterbury And so it was that the CanteiDury i",rk Trotting Club's summer meeting, he d yesterday at Aldington, was very well attended, tne large crowd, in winch men preponderated ftTlrertchrerv holiday mood.

The beauty of the grounds—the gay beds of stocks, the purple irises bordering the lake, and the smooth, green lawns-appealed very much to several visitors from other parts of the Dominion who are in Christchurch for th Summcr Crocks and light-weight suits were the popular choice of the womenfolk and many stripec and patterned frocks were particularly attractive. Hats, for the most part, were wide and shady while here and there close-nt-"ting 'little brimless hats, set on rows of curls, had a charm all their own.

THE UGLY SISTER

She wasn't really ugly—merely lacked the vivid, vital beauty of her elder sister. Her 1 face was much too pale, her eyes lacked the light of good health.

OBITUARY

A CENTENARIAN The death is announced in Wanganui of Mrs Joseph Garrard, who was in her hundredth year. She came to New Zealand 74 years ago, as the young wife of the chief officer of the ship Airedale, which brought many wellknown colonists in her. various voyages. Mr and Mrs Garrard settled in Nelson, and were there for 18 years before the death of Mr Garrard. About 20 years ago Mrs Garrard went to the North Island, and for the last 11 years she had been resident with her daughter, Mrs J. R. Sutherland, in Wanganui. She well remembered first sighting land in New Zealand, and the memory of the six months' dreary trip from Home always lingered. In the midst of her birthday celebrations she recalled that all the passengers on the Airedale believed that the colony was totally uncivilised. They were surprised at what they found, but the arrival of refugees at Nelson, driven out of Taranaki by Maori wars, was a grim indication of the state of the country further north. Mrs Garrard retained all her faculties, and in the last year of her life made 120 coat-hangers, which she distributed among relatives. She made a hobby of knitting, and her work had the finish of the old school. There is one son, Mr J. R. Garrard. Wellington, and two daughters, Mrs J. R. Sutherland, Wanganui, and Mrs W. R. Johns, Waitara.

Ml-'S EDITH MARSHALL Many friends in Wellington and other parts of the Dominion will hear with regret of the death of Miss Edith Marshall, who had lived with her brother and sister-in-law, Mr and Mrs John Marshall, of Tutu-Totara, Marton, since the death of her father, Major Marshall, many years ago. He and Mrs Marshall were among the very early arrivals in the colony of New Zealand. They took a leading part in the affairs of the district about Marton, and came through the trials of the difficult times with the Maoris in those days of long ago. Miss Marshall lived her life in the district.

MRS ALEX. HALL Among a large circle of friends in the Ellesmere district very keen regret is felt at the death of Mrs Hall, wife of Mr Alex. Hall, a well-known Brookside farmer, which occurred after an illness of only a few days. Mrs Hall was a daughter of the late Mr and Mrs James Houston, who were very early settlers in the Leeston district. Some time after her marriage Mr Hall took over a farm near Doyleston, which, with his wife's help, he carried on successfully for many years. Eventually they remover! to Brookside, where Mr Hall acquired another farm. By her neighbours and all with whom she came into contact Mrs Hall was held in high regard. She was 61 years of age at the time of her death. Throughout her life she had taken a very active interest in the affairs of the Presbyterian Church and of the district in which she resided. Mrs Hull is survived by her husband, two daughters, and two sons. The interment took place privately at the El-' lesmere cemetery, Leeston, Ihe Rev. D. N. Pr.yor conducting the service.

Never Had a Meal Without P^k Man Who Was Afraid to Eat I I First to Benefit froti New r* Medical Discovery One of the first people b try the scientists' newly-discoveredj treatment lor digestive disorders is a man whose stomach was in such a stdte that he was afraid to eat anything. In his case the effect of Chardox—as the new remedy is called—fully bears out the results obtained in [laboratory tests. The man writes as'follows:— " I would like you to knovf the benefit I have obtained through Chardox. Before taking Chardox, I never had a meal without having pain afterwards. In fact, I was so jjad I was afraid to eat. I had to be on diet. Now, thanks to Chardox, j I feel a . different man, and can eat anything." ''*' J.H.C. I In nearly all cases of digestive disorders, the pains that arise are due to accumulations of gas arid acids in the stomach. Chardox relieves those pains by the natural physical means of removing the gas and ekcess acid. Chardox is pure medicinal charcoal, the particles of which are/ground to a degree of fineness that (has never previously been attained. In a single dose of Chardox there ar« countless millions of separate particles. If you were to examine those Chardox particles under a microscope you would see that they are honeycombed with pores, like a sponge. Immediately Chardox enters the stomach, its millions of particles spread themselves over the entire, surface of the digestive tract, the absdrbent pores attract and hold the accumulations of gas and acids, and within p few minutes the cause of stomadh pains is gone. Chardox is already on general sale. Most chemists and stores!have it, in (boxes containing 48 tablets, the price being 2/- a box.
