Gardener, of Levin, who is an advocate of the nationalisation j -if the sanatoria. .He .said lie knew of a -iase of a family in which both parents iied of the scourge. There were eight -hildren, and all of them were allowed to xo their own sweet way, and grow- up without any authority taking the slightest heed of the possibility of their developing the disease themselves or trans-* 1 -nitting it to their children.

It is not quite- so bad as this in- New Zealand, but it is not unknown for manytoes and heels to be reknitted, on account of awkward shaping. Peoole -houlcl endeavour specially to cast, oil | the toe without any ridge, as it wou.d '■e most painful tinder the heavy army boots.
