MONDAY, 8.30 A.M. Some Reflections on a Boiling Copper. "The copper's boiling" — this is the common phrase of early Monday, the housewife's. :all to the weekly task. Let us follow it with 1 question that is not so simple as it sounds : "What is it boiling for ?" Most people would inswer, "Why, to boil the diit out of the :lothes, of course." Quite so, but for health's take something moie than diit has to be done iway with in the household washing, namely, ihe seeds of infectious disease. . . Infection may be communicated to a wholt -itv 'and beyond it) from one single patient, of which the smaflpox epidemic is a case w point. It is due to tiny organisms, hardly visible through a microscope but intensely alive, thrown off in the course of the disease. These float in the air or dust and drift to clothes and house, linen as naturally as steel draws to a magnet; we call them. " Germs," or seeds of disease, because just as an ordinary seed grows to a plant, so a disease germ on a human body breeds disease ; the only protection against germs is to destroy them. The question is: Will boiling water and common soap do it? Not always ; some disease germs may thrive, or even breed, in both. So we must use a cleanser that will not only clean clothes and house linen thoroughly, but also kill all disease germs that have lodged in them. Fortunately for us, manufacture and science have combined to meet this want with Lifebuoy Soap. By using Lifebuoy Soap in the laundry the germl of infectious diseases are caught and killed wholesale, because Lifebuoy Soap is both a perfect laundry cleanser and a strong disinfectant as well, and when the household clothing and linen are washed with it, disease germs find destruction instead of a refuge. Our crowded population doubles the risk of infection, Lifebuoy Soap reduces it ; but Lifebuoy Sc»p must be so used as *• cover both cleansing and disinfection ; Lifebuoy Soap for the bath, Lifebuoy Soap for floors and walls, Lifebuoy Soap for kitchen and •cutlery, and whefi the copper boils on Monday morning, then let it be especially and always Lifebuoy Soap for the day's washing.

ARE YOU DEEPLY INTERESTED IN THE LANDS OF THE DOMINION ? ON the WEST COAST of thi« Island most attractive lands are open for sale at a comparative fractional cost in comparison to the values asked for similar land elsewhere. Some day not far distant, . s 1 .** *.-.ilue of our land as cattle Country will be considerably appreciated for its earning power will, under good husbandry, prove its worth AND SHOW:-— ; THAT THE WINTER GROWTHS ON THIS COAST OUTWEIGHS EVERYTHING OF AN UNFAVOURABLE NATURE. SOME OF THE FINEST DAIRY LAND IN THE DOMINION IS A.VAILABLE HERE. THE CLIMATE ALTHOUGH WET, IS MILD, AND FROSTS ARE EXCEPTIONAL. THE PRICE OF LAND IS 30 TO 75 PER CENT CHEAPER THAN THE AVERAGE PRI' E ON THE WEST COAST OF THE NORTH ISLAND. THE COAST OFFERS GREAT 30OPE TO YOUNG FARMERS WITH [JP-TO-DATE IDEALS. THAT GREAT WILL BE THE BENEFIT TO THE MAN WHO GETS ON TO THE LAND HERE NOW AND HIS BIG REWARD WILL SURELY COME IN A FEW YEARS, WHEN THE APPRECIATION OF THE LANDS EARNING POWER EVIDENCES ITSELF. We have many properties to offer on the West Coast of New Zealand which rival those in most prosperous portions of the Dominion, and old. settlers are only just beginning to "wake up" to the real value of their lands. Properties, undoubtedly great bargains to-day, will gradually creep up to their true value as the Midland Railway is nearing completion. We have many properties t offer to bona fide buyers, and shall be pleased to show . visitors round before making & purchase. If not suited, we do not mind, our aim is to try to please. What may not suit the man without much help may suit the man With it. JORRESPONDENCE DEPARTMENT We have provided a SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE DEPARTMENT, and will be pleased to correspond with persong who are anxious to obtain further information concerning these parts. The information will be carefully given matter supplied, and no attempt will be made to either worry or unduly iofluenee anyone SIMPLY SEEKING INFORMATION. You will be given every facility for using your own judgment. ' IjO NOT HESITATE TO WRITE AT ONCE for details. You will no', be troubled with propositions. : We have at the moment: — XX A ACRES FREEHOLD, £ 7 r ss p Cr acre, ,£lOO cash, balance in five years, on share profit system, interest 6 per cent., revenue first year estimated ;£8oo ; expenses, including- living- and home charges £600. Good roads, fertile land, and excellent prospects for man with famih '. ?roperty should, at end of term (when West Coast-Canterbury railway is completed) under cultivation be worth £20 per acre. Early application is necessary. AND many other propositions throughout the whole of the West Coast. We know the District from end to end, and almost every Farm in same, therefore enquirers can rest assurd upon getting practical knowledge. Qur business was established in 1865, JUST 50 YEARS AGO, and during the half century the ' Firm has been the means of placing thousands of clients successfully. Of course, in common with other commercial houses we have struck some blanks, just as there are some shirkers to-day, young men who ,->ught to be doing their, fluty but have the tired feeling. To the Bona fide settler we invite correspondence and will, if satisfied with conditions materially assist flnanei ally into one of the good proposition! w« have to offer.
