CHAFINGS AND BLOTCHES.

Zam-Buk Cures ali, Winteii Skin Troubles. The keen winds of winter play liayoo with a dolicato skin, and frequently givo vise to roughness, blotchiness, 'and feelings of rawness and irritation. Tho woman who is troubled in this way should anoint her face each night with Zam-Buk Balm, after having washed in tepid water with a pure soap, such as Zam-Hul; Medicinal Toilet .Soap, and carefully dried with a soft, towel. Zam Buk will take away all soreness, mako the skin beautifully soft, clear, and healthy, and the tendency to chap, even on cold, wet days, will not manifest itself. Cold creams, common faCO salves, and impure scented foaps are to Ik> rigorously avoided.

My daughter suffered with eruptions in the form of pimples on her face, but sincf applying Zam-Buk these have been entirely removed. My son suffers severely through the winter with chapped hivuls. hilt I found a few applications of Zam-Buk properly healed them. I have nlso used Znm-Bnk for my baby when the skin was all c'vifed. In all these ense.s I proved Zam-Buk all thai it is claimed to be—a wonderfully soothing and healing balm, effective alike for young and old." l-'or all winter skin troubles and muscular affections Zam-Buk Balm is a neverfailing remedy.

Tho following extracts aro taken from tho Waikari Rifles Shooting Committeo renort, 1907: — The committee regrets that Bhooting was extended so far into tho winter, recognising rifle shooting to bo a summer sport. The delay was in a measure due to tho difficulty in getting members to complete class firing. Sergeant Clyde, who wins the championship for the fourth year in succession, has a splendid record. Twenty-three competitions have been fired, sevon of which include the 700 yds range," and Sergeant Clyde has ail average ot 91J points per competition. For consistent shooting this would be hard to beat; indeed, it is a question if any other shooting man in the district could show a belter record. Sorgeant Clyde is not only a good shot, but an excellent all-round Volunteer, and would d'i oredit to any oorps. Private Marshall, who lias been runner-up for the championship for tlio past four years, hits also a splendid record, his avcrago in 23 competitions being S7s point-s per competition. He has always proved himself a most reliablo shot, a regular attonder, ami a oredit to tho corps. ' Privato Cameron, the winner of tho junior championship, although oiily a first year's shot, has proved himself'a steady rifleman, and the committeo fully expects that ho will be heard of again. The company were represented at Trentham by Sergeant Clyde, and although' he did not succeed in gotting into the first 50 ho was not far away. There has been an improvement in the number of men who compolod for prizes during the season, tho avcrago number being 25. Ot this number 18 wero prize-takor?. Tho two-third Bystem was used in handicapping, and gave general satisfaction. Ton thousand four hundred and sixty rounds of ammunition wero fired away during the season.

Taking the result of the season's shooting, the commit teo feels that although some advance has keen made, yet there is muoli room for improvement, and would like to see tho young members take a more activo interest in the important point of training. It has been said that riflo shooting is the mainstay of Voluntooriug, and the experience of the past seßson, so-fnr as wo aTe concerned, goes to prove that this is so. But for the interest that the committoo wore ablo to ivrcmso during the past season tli© Waltari Rifles would hivve fared badly. The shooting men in this company, with a few exceptions, attend parades regularly.
