Greymouth Evening Star, 26 June 1922, Page 2

The Salvation Army band, cespite inclement weather paraded yesterday morning and afternoon, in connection with their band Sunday, but were retarded in the evening by the heavy rain. During the indoor evening service two pleasing items were rendered by both combinations, the silver band and mandoline orchestra., under the conductorship of Bandmaster Coadwell. The programme to-night at tho Army Hall gives promise of being one of the best of its kind held in Greymouth. “Not all the king’s horses nor all tho king’s men,” nor even the nublxc of a No-license district, could pick up tho Humpty Dumpty of a broken whisky bottle which fell to the Ashburton platform from tho moving express on Thursday (says the “Guardian”). That it had contained more than a little of Scotch was freely advertised on the frosty air, and the mournful group who gathered about the fragments of a tragedy had more than the “smell of a cork” to regale themselves with. Ashburton is a nolicense district!

OVERHEARD IN “DEATH’S.” As a general rule ladies, occupied in shopping have little or no inclination to discuss topics outside the spheres of fashion, quality and bargains. However, here is a worthy exception. The other day when in Death’s, Mrs Daxter heard a conversation between two ladies, one of whom had had a sister bad with bronchitis. This lady attributed her sister’s rapid remarkable recovery to Baxter’s Lung Preserver. “Yes,” she observed, “folks can say what they like about their new-fangled cough mixtures, but none of them can compare with ‘Baxter’s. When half a dozen other preparations failed to give my sister any ease, she obtained instant relief with Baxter’s Lung Preserver.” Throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion countless thousands of people owe their immunity from colds, coughs and bronchitis to- this never-failing remedy. “Baxter’s” has a happy knack of speedily penetrating to the source of the trouble and rooting it out thoroughly. It is, too, an invaluable tonic for enriching the blood and renewing your health and energy. Get “Baxter’s” now. 2/6 a large bottle at chemists and stores. —77.
