The game will commence at 3 p.m., and spectators will have an opportunity of seeing the merits of the League code. OHRISTOHURCH.

Every woman expecting a child is invited, begged, to come and receive that training which is supplied by the society. The public does not realise the enormous benefit, and the saving of child life which would be made possible if every woman had that ante-natal training which is offered. In view of the agencies now at work, and the way in which the Department and the society are working together, there is no doubt that the total infantile death-rate will no longer be 4 per cent., but will be reduced to 3 per cent., and in the future even to 2 per cent.
