NEWS AND NOTES.

Under the will of Kathleen Charlotte Hardeastle Board of TrusWanganui on January 23, 1932, the residue of her estate was placed in trust to pay an income to the Charlottee Hardeastle Board of Trustees for the maintenance, benefit and support of any gentlewoman who had (been domiciled in Wanggpui for a period of at least 50 years. A clause in the will reads 'as follows: —“I express my wish and desire that the persons to benefit under the provisions shall be persons of refinement and good character’, who have an income to purchase for themselves the necessaries of life, but not sufficient to maintain themselves in reasonable comfort.” There were four life tenants under the will, and one of these was Dora Gill, of Christchurch, whoso death occurred recently. Under her will, of which the Public Trustee is executor and trustee, provision is made for a certain life interest, but the sum of £IOOO is bequeathed upon trust to pay income in perpetuity to the Charlotte Hardeastle Board of Trustees. The further £IOOO raises the total to about £7000.' It has come at last! In response to persistent agitation London Underground has just added a new ear to each of its trains labelled: “Ladies Only —Smoking,” and other lines are expected to follow suit. Who could have foreseen that the day would dawn when the adorable sex would clamour for smokecars of its own, and refuse to he happy till it got them? In days gone by ladies would l no more have thought of entering a smoke-car than they would have thought of playing two-up or skittles. They used to abhor tobacco-smoke. Now they adore it! 'Well, smoking’s all right—so long as the tobacco’s all right. But sometimes it’s all wrong! Quite often it contains a most injurious quantity of nicotine, and then it’s far better to cut it out. The safe way is to smoke New Zealand “toasted.” Better or purer or more delicious “weed” is not to bo had for money. And so safe —it’s toasted. Four brands only: Rivcrhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10.—276.

Juggling with health is a dangerous " fad, Go slow on dosing until you feel bad; Then trust a treatment endorsed by a test, What served the past for the future is best. Juggling with health is like groping your way, They, who trust nature are mostly “0.K.” But when bronchitis or flu you endure, Promptly take Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. —25. t
