POST OFFICE SERVICE.

“HXTRAORDIN ABY EXPAN SI UN. ’' EFFICIENT MEN; ABLE HEADS. Speaking at a social, function ot Wellington in connection 'with the P. ancl T. Association, the PostmasterGeneral, Sir James Parr, stated: What has impressed me is the extraordinary expansion in the extent and character of its activities. 10-duj the department is carrying a huge ravings bank, handling £46,000,000 ol the people’s money. The inangement by the officers of* the department, he continued, was excellent; without fuss or undue red tape the hank was doing ifrs business silently and efficiently. Furthermore, the Post CMlice had now to dea 1 with the registration of motor vehicles as well as the registration of people. Tire Post Office did not Undertake anything where there was no prospect of profit, and that was something to remember, since nobody became a servant of the State tor the benefit of his health; he was there to do the work and make it pay. “The- extraordinary expansion of the work ot the Frtsf Office lias created one of the largest, if not the largest, iservice in the State. I believe that in the rank and me we have an efficient lot of men, and in the heads of the department some of the brightest and ablest men in the service of New Zealand to-day. I appreciate very much the assistance I have received from them.’’ It was Imped next year to eliminate the deficit on the business account of the department, • and after that had been accomplished the Minister thought that serious consideration should be given to the restoration of some of the privileges that were taken away when money was short-.

AS FIT AS A FIDDLE. THANKS TO “BAXTER’S.” A Wellington business man was travelling on the West Coast recently and encountered a friend at Westport who had a very heavy cold. “Yes, I have been bad' for days and do not seem to be able, to shake it off,” said the afflicted one. . “What you need, old man,” said the Wellingtonian, “is some “Baxter’s.” It’s wonderful stuff. .[ always carry a bottle around with me. Come up to my room and have a dose now.” The disciple of Baxter’s Lung Preserver presented his friend with the balance of the bottle, and next morning a very different man greeted him. “I feel as fit as a fiddle,” thanks to that specific of yours,” he said. At the first sign of a cough or cold take a dose of Baxter’s Lung Preserver. Besides being a wonderful remedy “Baxter’s” possesses unique tonic properties that help to build you up. You can get a generous-sized bottle from any chemist or store for 2s 6d; or, better still, get the family size at 4s 6d. It will rout a whole family of colds. 33
