MR. BAXTER HAS A CALLER.

STORY OF A LITTLE GIRL'S

DANGER,

Of interest to everyone—indeed, of vital importance to many—is the inforaatiou given by a lady visitor to Mr. Baxter just the other- day. "I don't suppose you know me," a young lady inquired.

"I don't remember having met you," Mr. Baxter replied. "Well, I wouldn't be here if it hadn't been for you;- Baxter's Lung Preserver." "Many years ago, when I was quite a little girl, I was travelling with my father by boat from Auckland to New Plymouth. I was nearly choked with a bad cold. I'ather, in desperation, asked tho steward if he had anything likely to give me relief. The steward produced a bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver, remarking that he always kept a bottle with him. Father says the effect was wonderful, and gave mo immediate relief. Naturally since that day we always keep a bottle of Baxter's. We are going do Australia shortly, and we are going- to take away a large supply with us."

The above is a genuine conversation between Mr. Baxter and one whose life is undoubtedly due to that grandest of all cough, cold, and sore throat remedies —Baxter's Lung Preserver. Get a generous-sized 2s Gd bottle from your chemist or store to-ilay, or, tetter still obtain the.more economical family size at 4s b"d. "Baxter's" is a splendid tonic, too—builds up the constitution and revitalises the whole system. Advt.

Ssm had not come to the notice of the council, but it had to him.

"AN AUNT SALLY."

"The Otago Centre," added Mr. Guy, "seems almost inclined to use this council as an 'Aunt Sally,' and this council is inclined to catch the coconuts as they come over the fence." He thought the Otago Centre should refrain from making statements which were contrary to fact. Mr. Austad: "As mover ofthe resolution that we should call for nominations for a fifth selector I did so to relieve tho position created by the southern centres." He could see troublo brewing in the South, and he thought the best way to get out of the difficulty was to appoint a fifth selector. His contention was that one selector could do the job quite as well as five He thought that the Selection Committee should comprise either one sole selector or else three. THREE SELECTORS. Mr. Austad then moved that the Selection Committee to choose the team to represent New Zealand at the Australian and New Zealand championships comprise three men. _ Mr. L. A. Tracy seconded the motion. Mr. H. Urquhart (Otago): "I am very sorry that this position has arisen, and I am also sorry that Mr. Guy has taken this personal view." He added that he did not think Otago had taken up the attitude.it had purely with the idea of upsetting the action adopted by the council. The Otago Centre's contention was that one selector from each centre should be appointed. As representative of Otago he moved an amendment that one selector from each of the centres be appointed. Mr. V. Hugo OYanganui-Taranakn seconded the amendment, which however, was lost. '

Mr. Connop: "Expense is a secondary consideration if we are to have the best team, but if we h.-cve men here" who can select a team with our confidence and with the confidence of New frttselectS" 6 ShOUW aPP°int them
