t2ke it before breakfast. To keep fit you /cannot possibly do better than drink Wai-Rongoa, Australasia's finest natural mineral water. j Taken before breakfast, thisi natural mineral water aids digestion, clears the blood, and wards off gout and rheumatism. A delightful drink—its natural gas makes it crisp and invigorating. All chemists, hotels, stores.-—Advt. For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, the* . Masterjxm slygrogger is peculiar (says the Wairarapa Age), and continues:: —Sergeant Miller recently visited a ihouse in Which four dozen of creature comfort had been procured a day or two previously. He asked what had become of it. The owner of the house declared to having consumed nine bottles himself in on© day, and to being assisted by a lady and gentleman friend to dispose of about another dozen on the following day. "But where is the balance?" asked the sergeant. The householder conducted him proudly to a room in which were stored nineteen bottles, packed.l in straw and carefully capsuled with' tinsel. The sergeant called for a. corkscrew, which was immediately forth-*. coming. Bottle after bottle way opened, but each contained nothing more intoxicating than a quart of water. The man could not offer a reasonable explanation, and so he was hauled before the Court and fined £5 for keeping liquor for sale. - WOULD FILL A BTG BOOK.

We recommend it to you, and suggest that you buy a Is 10d bottle to-day.—Adyt. . In conversation with a reporter in Wellington on Saturday, the Hon. W. Fraser (Minister for Mines) fore- j shadowed a possible reduction in the ! price of State coal. It was the cost of production, the Minister stated, that had brought about the increase. Until the price was raised the coal was being sold at a loss. At present the coal was brought down \ a steep grade by ordinary engines, which could only I (with safety) take small loads. A central rail, similar to that on the Rimutaka incline, is being laid on the steep portion of the line from the mine at Point Elizabeth, and when this has been completed it will be possible to bring out full loads of coal. The line will _be completed in this way, the Minister anticipates, in four or five weeks' time, and he stated that he irouTd then be prepared to consider the question of reducing the price of coal to the public.
