The film “Flaming Youth,” founded on the hook which has achieved notoriety, hs being produced here to-night, and will no doubt- be viewed by many whose cuiriosity has been-aroused (writes the Stratford correspondent of the Taranaki Herald). I sincerely hope they will be disappointed in any anticipations they may have formed of being ‘‘shocked.” Of all the sickening hypocrisy of which human nature is capable, I think the production of books, and plays on morbid sexual relationships, with the pretence of moral motive, is the worst. Better be honest and admit that “good business” is the motive. The experience of an up-country runholder during the [recent- railway strike makes him think that- the railway is not, after all, a very important department- of State (says an exchange). He sent a line .of 1400 fat wethers to the Mataura works, and, of course, they bad to be taken by rood. Tlie. sum of .-CO'was expended In feed on the way to the works, and the sheep were landed at Mataura .-CIO cheaper than they would have arrived by rail. Neglected chills bring doctor’s bills. Let “Nazol” put‘ you right. Unexcelled- for obstinate coughs and colds: 1/6 bviys 60 doses.—Advt. Ladies! Keep pace with the times; washboard drudgery eliminated since the arrival of “No-Rubbing” Laundry Help. - —F. W. Daley.-—Advt.
