Christohurch, Dec. 3. At a meeting of the Christchurch Prohibition League, the following ' resolutions in regard to canteens in military camps -under thte new Defence Bill, was carried: '-That the Christchurch Prohibtfon League, representing not only the no-licenso party, but in this matter the whole of temperance sentiment of the city, expresses its surprise that the new * Defence Bill submitted to the House of Representatives contains no provision for the aholition of the canteen. It views as ouite inadequate tho suggested "roviaion that persons under 21 years of age shall not be allowed to enter canteens, and urges that the only satisfactory settlement of the question in tie judgment of the majority of the electors of the Dominion will be the abolition of the system. It protests strongly against the continuance of the custom, proved to be not only unnecessary, but pernicious in the extreme, especially in view of the fact that the youth of the Dominion are to be compelled to enter camp every year, and it calls upon the Premier and the Minister of Defence and the members of the House to amend the Bill in this particular at once."

THE OAUBB OP CONSTIPATION. The most common cause of constipation is a lack of exercise neceaßay to keep the muscles of £Ec bowls active, that is why constipation is often brought on by too frepuent use of purgatives. They act violently performing the work of the bowels for them, and so weaken them tfoat they will not act without assistance. Chamberlain's Tablets will our© constipation because instead of doing the work of the bowls they gently stimulate them to voluntary action. Their frequent use will not injure the most delicate peraoa. Sold by a* I chemists and storekeeper*. LET IT BB KWOWN. The widest publicity should be given to the fact that summer diarrhcea and dysentery can be cured by the judicious use of Chamberlain's Oolio Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It never never fails. When reduced with water and sweetened it is pleasant to take, which * important when the medicane must be given to small children. Sold by all chemists and storekeepen. Many a sufferer from Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, or Lumbago, weakened by the excruciating pain and discouraged b" the failure of "cure alls" to give relief, has been speeduy and effectually oared by RHEyMO^ the one remedy for these urio acid diseases. All chemists and stores, 9s 6d and 4s 6d. "CHEER UP." Good advice, truly, but often difficult of application. Of all the virtues cheerfulness is perhaps the most profitabde. It makes the person who exercises it happy, and renders him acceptable to all he meets. While other virtues defer the day of recompense, cheerfulness pays down. It is a coaraetic, which makes homeliness graceful and winning; it promotes health, and gives clearness and vigour to the mind. It is the bright weather of the heart, in contrast to. the clouds of melancholy. In order to keep cheerful, drink KOLA NIP. This beverage oheers in the truest sense. This is the "begone dull caTe" drink. Explorero and travellers have found it more sustaining than any other beverage. When, "off-colour," worried, perplexed of despondent, a glass of JtOLA NIP will act like a charm, restoring the tired brain, the shattered nerves, and the weak heart to their normal condition. It gives vim, vigour and cheer. At all hotels, retresEQMOt room*, chemist* and •tors*.
