In praising the Government for reserving an area at Elleßtnere as a sanotuary for native birds the Christcharoh "Press" says :—" The birds will soon find out that there is one part of the lake where they are aafe, and will not fail to retire to it when they are hotly pressed, while the fact that they are left there absolutely undisturbed during thd breeding season should have the effect of keeping up their numbers. Humanitarians will also rejoice that such a sanctuary has been provided. It seems only right that the pursuit of the lower orders of creation either for sport or 'food should not be carried to the point of extermination, but that they, should have at least a chance of survival." The lover of nature will add his approval, anxious as he must be to see all characteristic forms of life guarded arid p'resorved in these islands, where so many type? unfortunately have already' become extinct owing tb the thoughtlessness of man. We hope that the Land Board will go further, and endeavour to preserve the few remaining patches of natural bush which exist in Canterbury, and that in this good work also they will receive the support of the Government." Much annoyance and inconvenience as well as loss of time caused by having unreliable watches, may be saved if you gej them repaired by a practical firm that oiin guarantee' their work. Hunter's, In-ldge street, is now recognised as the bust shop for repairs as well as the best shop" to. bny a good waich.

None save the strongest can with impunity pass through the sudden transitions from wet to dry, from cold to muggy weather so prevalont during the autumnal and early winter months. Influenza, bronchitis, cough, or quiasey will attack those most watchful ot their health bat they can readily arrest any of these oomplaints by rubbing Holloway's Ointment twice a day upon the skin over the affected parts, and by assisting its corrective action with appropriate doses of Pills. This well known, safe, and «asy mode of treatment, efficiently protects too invalid both from present and future dang. r, without weakening or disturbing the sj stem in the slightest degree.
