The Hon.. J. G. Ward, on being interviewed, said, that New Zealand was never more prosperous in almost, every branch of industry and commerce. The harvest promises to be one of the best and largest, that has ever been known. .- The so-called Socialist legislation has been the result! of wise observation, and,-so far as could be judged, it bad all gone in the right direc-: tion. Ho spoke highly of : , the; result of industrial conciliation and .. early ' closing legislation. lie .considered-'-that''the old age,, pensions scheme will have a good effect, and add-to-the'health and tone of the social fabric ..generally, and in the course of time will remedy its own apparent defects in the -matter of cost. Though Now Zealanders are taking much interest in federation, the feeling in the colony is generally in favour of keeping .'out of any Australian federal scheme. >•

•••DISFIGURED FOR LIFE" is the-de-spairing cry of thousands^ afflicted with : unsightly humours of tlio skin, scalp, and ha-ir. Do you realise what this disfiguration means to sensitive souls? , It means isolation, seclusion. It is a bar.to social and business.success. Do you wonder that despa-ir seizes upon those sufferers' when doctors fail, standard remedies fail; and nostrums prove'worse than useless? Skin humours arc most obstinate to cure, or even relieve. It is an easy ■ mutter , !J> CSCIm to cure them, but quite another thing TjSrtto so. CUTICCJRA rrmetlies : havo' onirned JfTo.right to bo called Skin Specifics, because, far-years they have met with moat remarkable .success. There arc cases they cannot, cure,'but'they,are few in-: doad. It is no long drawn-out expensive experiment. A warm bath- with' CUTICUEA SOAP and a single "anointing .with ' CUTICURA, purest' of emblients,! and : greatest of skin cures, will prove; more convincing' in tho severest forms of itching,' biirniiigj bleeding, scaly, crusted, aoad" pimply' humours,: with loss of hair, than pages of printed matter. —1-
