The tores put down at Omoto in quest of an improved water supply for Greymouth have turned out a success. The foiir bores have topped at a depth of 24ft a good flow of filtered water.

It is hoped that the new supply will assure the town ,of ample water in future in all circumstances.

The Corsair Social Club’s excursion, which takes place next Sunday, is expected to attract about five hundred visitors to Greymouth. The picnic party will include a band and a cricket team.

The Secretary of the Corsair Social Club states that the Club is a Christchurch organisation, and the excursions arranged by it are in no way connected with those from Lyttelton. The Club> .is often confused with the latter on account of the bay of the same name in Lyttelton Harbour, a favourite place for picnickers. Given favourable weather, it is anticipated that the forthcoming excursion will be ev»en a greater success than previous outings held, under the auspices of the Club.

Now that we are already well into the New Year, we wonder how many of those good resolutions, which religiously we make every year, have already been broken. Those promises, ?ye, which we make, but in our hearts know that they will of a certainty be broken, the length of time they will remain unshattered being dependent solely on our own will power. But amongst all these resolutions there is one that, assiduously, we maintain unbroken—to drink, throughout the year, only the one brand of spirit—Dewar’s Imperial Whisky. Griffen and Smith are the West Coast agents, and Dewar ’s Imperial may also be obtained from the firm’s branch at Westport.— Advt.

In all cases prevention is Better than cure. That is why it is that people now keep a bottle of Parkinson’s Influenza Specific in readiness in case the ’flu should again assert itself. Have you a bottle ready? The influenza always gives a short warning by a feeling of depression, aching bones, headache, sometimes accompanied with fever and sore throat. On the first symptoms take a teaspoonful of dose of the Specific in a wineglass of water and repeat every two or three hours till normal conditions are resumed. It is wonderful stuff, and acts straight away, and if taken in time a few doses will effect a cure. It is sold by Parkinson and Co. in bottles it 1/6 (eight doses) and 2/6 (16 doses), and full directions for use are plainly printed on the label of each bottle. Remember to be forewarned is to be forearmed, and it is better to be sure than sorry. —Advt.
