A combined meeting of civil servants at Alasterton last night, attended by representatives of seven organisations, including the Post and Telegraph and Railway employees and teachers, passed unanimously a resolution protesting against any further cut in salaries and wages in view of the fact that, as there has been no appreciable drop in the cost of living since the last cut and no reduction in interest.' any further cut would aggravate the economic position, embarrass the business community, and would constitute a harsh and unjust action oil the part of the Government. Another resolution deplored the suggestion that women teachers be singled out for an extra reduction in salaries.— P.A.

A protest against the economics in education -proposed in the report of the Economy Commission, which wore described as “slashes'' rather than “cuts. - ' waU made by a large meeting of the North Canterbury Educational Institute last night.

A.

Economies nowadays are common in many households and considerable expense is saved in various ways. In '.some cases, small powdered electric lights are put in the less-used rooms of a house, telephones are cut out. and the motor-ear lies undisturbed in the garage for days and days on end. Still.'economics do not always pay. as a well-known citizen last week found to his cost. Feeling feverish with what he imagined to lie the find: symptoms of influenza, lie refused to call in medical advice, despite the pleadings of hi,s family. He decided to rely on Nature, but Nature let linn down badly. He grew worse, the family, finally sent for the doctor, and he was away from bis office for over a week, during which time lie lost some valuable business. -If he had followed the advice of his daughter and taken Bramwell’s One Nought One he would have been cured in a few hours. For influenza, colds and chest complaints of ai] kinds, this popular curative csinnot lie excelled. It acts also as a tonic, in that it cleanses the bronchial tubes from all germs. All leading grocers and stores from the East Coast to Hastings 'supply this well known balsam, and BvainweH’s Pharmacy also keeps large stocks always on hand Advt.

“Lotta ’flu about?’’ hazarded a man on the box seat of the Auckland Whangarei motor coach to a fellow passenger. “Too right 1” was the reply. “Well, best way to dodge the ’flu and anything else'that’s going is to keep yer pipe alight.” “That’s orright. But you can’t keep on smoking all day. Bum yer tongue off.” “Depends on the hacca, mate. You can’t smoke the ordinary baccas all day, of course. Too full of nicotine. But you can the New Zealtind baccas—all day: and all night, too! ’Ardly any nicotine 'in ’em. The toasting does that! Tlio tobacconist I deal with says they’re “best sellers.” Shouldn’t wonder.” That passenger was right. Firstly there’s no finer 'disinfectant than good tobacco, and secondly there’s no better tobacso than toasted New Zealand. For flavour and aroma it challenges comparison with any other kind. And it’s harmless! There arq only four brands: Riverhead Gold, / Navy Cut No. 3/ Cavendish and Cut Ping No. 10. But look out fori imitations when you busy. There arc several on the mar. ket'.—23l.
