WIDENING THE AVON. THE BOWING ASSOCIATION’S WORK. The Floral Fete trustees recently voted a. substantial sum for the improvement of the Avon and the straightening of the corners over the mile course. The Canterbury Rowing Association has the administration of' the fund in hand .and work was commenced yesterday at Cowlishaw’a Corner, where a very considerable portion of the bank is being removed. The corner was always an awkward one at rowing contests, and the straightening work will very much improve the place in the future for racing. The work at this point is the most important that will be undertaken, but lesser and needed improvements will be effected at other places in the river. Eight men and teams are employed on the work, which will take some weeks to complete. The improvements are under the supervision of Mr Tomlinson, for the Drainage Board, and of Mr F. D. Kesteven, for the Floral Fete trustees.

COSTIVENESS. THE CAUSE OF MUCH SUFFERING. To maintain a healthy system the bowels should, operate at least onco every twenty-four hours. This is ono of Nature’s provisions which is too ofton ignored, and the result is untold suffering. Women are the greatest offenders, but sooner or later they must pay the penalty. Many women’s ailment’s are due to the straining and purging, followiug upon habitual constipation, and in many enses displacement of the pelvic organs may be attributed to the same cause. “ 1 have always found Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills a splendid corrective medicine,” writes Mrs Mary Hands, Chaucer Road, Napier, “ and my experience of two years’ use enables me to conscientiously state that they do all that you claim for them. They relievo costivoness at once, and do not cause pain or sickness. At one time I suffered from Rheumatism, but am now quite free. Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills are our'Family Medicine, and we always keep a. bottle in the house.” Nature often requires a little assistance, and, if this assistance is given at the first indication, much distress and suffering may ho averted. Mothers especially should guard the health of their children, and inculcate regular habits from infancy. As a family remedy for Costiveness, Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills have a unde reputation. They are mild in their action, causing neither weakness or sickness, and do not gripe. fi
