During his sojourn in San Francisco, tludge William H. Taft, the exPresident of the United States, paid a visit bo the New Zealand pavilion _at the Sin Francisco Exposition. He displayed the utmost interest in the exhibits of New Zealand, especially in the wool and woollen goods, and also in the delightful pictures of New Zealand which grace the walls of the national pavilion. The representation of New Zealand scenery, as cleverly depicted by Mr Worsley. the well-known Now Zealand artist, was greatly admired, and the ex-President appreciated yery considerably the fact that the communities had responded so liberally to the call of America to the Panama Exposition. Commissioner Edmund Clifton, extended an enthusiastic welcome to the noted American junststatesman, and subsequently referring to the visit, ‘ Mr Clifton said: ExPresident Taft hoped that New Zealand’s participation at the San Francisco World’s Fair would bring about closer relations and greater bonds of friendship between the two great An-glo-Saxon countries of the United States and New Zealand. Ho said that he had been a close _ student and admirer of the legislation of No® l ' Zealand, and considered that nation one of the most progressive in the whole world. He was particularly enthusiastic in his remarks anent the freedom r>f the great dependencies cf Great Britain. and said that circumstances alone had led to the best results from tne enterprising men who had settled in those oversea countries. The .response of its sons to the Empire, he added, was but the tribute’to the liberality with which the Mother Country had csrb&nde'd beneficent treatment to the great daughter States of the British Empire. It had resulted in. an outpouring of the oversea dominions in a manner Unequalled in the world’s tmat history. The independence of thought, the characteristic of all those countries, concluded ex-President Taft, and +he closer relationship between the United States of America and those British dependencies. were strengthening the minds of the men of those kindred lands, for the aspirations of all true Americans and Britishers were decidedly identical in character ■ and aim.” Use "NAZOL” and you won’t keep a bad cold or sore throat above a day or two Acts like a charm.
