The Baking- Trade.
HARD "WORK AND LONG HOURS.
Facts which came to light recently in connection with the baking trade seem to show that' legislation is needed to curtail the long hours frequently worked by the trade. A case in point. , Mr John Davidson Fraser, baker, of Waihi, was found busy in the bake-house when seen by our reporter. When apprised of the object of his visit, he said: — "The work is certainly I-ird,- and tha hours are long, and strong as 1 Am, eight years ugo my system was so run clown that indigestion, lassitude, singing in. the e&rs, sleeplessness, and loss of appetite came on.

It is staled that the Sydney committee to' arrange the Commonwealth ceremonies will number about 120. Mr John Dunne, until recently a. very old resident of Balclutha, has a son, William, serving in South Africa with the second New Zealand contingent. The old geiitle--man the other day received from his son an interesting Oom Paul memento, in a bunch of pressed violets, which Trooper Dunne, with his own hands, had gathered! from the ex-President's famous gardens at Pretoria.
