KEEP STUOriG! J3 -A WGr^^eFUL TO&IS AND ■ - ST"KHGTKSP!ES. " I take pleasure in recommendir :v such a fine toning- and strengthening medicine as Lane's Emulsion. .For a long time I felt run-dov.n, and was often easily tired. 1 had scarcely any appetite, and what I did eat I could hardly digest. A month ago my doctor advised Lane's Emulsion, B,nd even he co.n now hardly realize that I am the "ame woman. . To put it as short as possible,.'l am v/ell all over.' Mnny thanks to Lane's Emulsion." Lane's Emulsion ivialces healthy blood and flesh. It is of special value to women, building up the entire system, searching out the weak parts, and strengthening them. It helps in the digesting of good foods; it makes the nerves strong and induces refreshing sleep. If you will read the remarkable letters we are publishing from day to day, any doubts you may have had regarding the value of this famous bodybuilder and power-maker, will entirely yanish. .A course of Lane's Emulsion will do you good no matter what your state of health/ Sold everywhere in two sizes, 4/6 and 2/6. The^large size is the economical size. v 41 ernment are freed by the guarantee ! system from the necessity of squanI dering money on such unprofitable lines as the Roxburgh railway and the Otago Central, there will be more money to spend on legitimate railway enterprises, such as Gisborne-Rotorua. So with the projected Napier-Gisbqrne connection. Impartial investigation, taking into account the large area of fertile country to be traversed and the great volume of commerce at the terminal points of the line, would, we believe, decide that the railway had every prospect of being able to meet interest charges, but even if a deficiency were anticipated, there is surely a rating basis of great strength sufficient to cover by a rate of the very smallest proportions the possible loss. In the Cook, Wairoa, and Hawke's Bay counties we have property of the capital value of over fourteen million pounds, and even if the railway failed to pay for axle grease and other working expenses, which no one who knows the situation will admit to be at all likely, the amount of taxation that would be involved on the taxpayers to meet the 3 per cent, interest on cost of construction would be but a fraction of a penny in the £. We welcome the new legislation that the Government propose to bring in, for the reason that it will bring ordinary business prudence to bear upon the problem of railway construction in this country, and will free the taxpayers from the necessi# - of having to" contribute, as this district has done for many years, to the cost of unprofitable lines from which they de~ i-ive no possible benefit. Secondly, it will cause fair and impartial investigation to be made into legitimate railway enterprises, strengthening the claim for construction of the same, and it should make easily possible the taking up of a great national work, such as the linking of the rich East Coast district on to the railway sys-^ tern of the Dominion by the nearest practicable and most profitable route. —P.B.

"I gathered quite a nice little case of butterflies and beetles while in Japan on one occasion," remarked Lieutenant Shackleton in an afterdinner speech in Sydney. "When landing in America," he continued, "a Customhouse officer came up to me and said: ' Say, friend, how much will you take for that bug outfit of yours?' Now, I was rather taken j back to have my fine- entomological ! collection referred to as a ' bug out- ! fit,' but—well, that doesn't matter. That collection will be the nucleus of a still larger collection as the result of our recent trip down under. ,We discovered only two fleas down J there," he went on, amid laughter, j ! "and these were resident on penguins. We caught lots of penguins, and searched them very carefully, turning the feathers this way and that; biit we found only two fleas, which will be duly described later on , by those people who are particularly ! interested in such specimens." , For Children's Hacking Cough, at I night—Woods' Great Peppermint Cure, Is 6d and 2s 6d.
