No matter how long you have suffered from Rheumatism; no matter what other remedies have failed, RHEUMO, given a fair trial, will effect a cure. Thousands of other sufferers have been permanently cured by RHEUMO, when all else had been tried m vain. Many had spent large, sums of money at Rororua acd other thermal springs, but it was RHEUMO that eventually effected a cure. If you are suffering from Rheumatism, or from Gout, Lumbago, Sciatica, or kindred complaints, give RHEUMO a fair trial. It has cured others antl will cure you— and at little cost.

I The Postmaster-General announces that m the present exceptional circumstances, correspondence dispatched via Suez is subject to a heavy delay. Letters, etc., posted for later mails despatched via San Francisco or Vancouver generally reach their destination before those o_spatched via Suez. In order, however, to provide for the requirements of banks and other business institutions, where tho dispatch of duplicate documents by different mails is desired,- the Department advertises dispatched via Suez for specially-addressed correspondence only. Large quantities of letters, evidently ;.ot duplicates, are being posted superscribed by the Suez route ; and m order . to- remove misapprehension, it is announced that at thc present time tho best routes for tho transmission of correspondence for the United Kingdom are those via San Francisco and via Vancouver.

Jones, an ex-student of the Christchurch Technical College, was studying m Germany when war broke out, and was interned at -Hamburg as a civil prisoner of war. Recently a letter m German from him was received by his parents, who live m Christchurch, and m this Mr Jones described the scenes lie had witnessed on Christmas Eve. "On Christmas Eve I was absolutely alone," he wrote, "because, as always, I had to be indoors after eight o'clock m the evening. As everywhere m German towns, the streets here were almost deserted. The shops, as well as the cafes, were clased, and the * tramways, the light railways, and the trains were almost without passengers. In all the houses there were large Christinas trees. As I went through- the town between seven and eight o'clock I could see through the windows these beautiful trees all festively illuminated with lights. . . . The same day I received two boxes filled with eatables — without doubt there are still friends about. A Christmas tree also found its way into my room."

Thero was a very successful opening of the carnival on St. Patrick's Day m Nelson. The ceremony of crowning the queen was performed lit Trafalgar Park by Mr T. A. H. Field, M:P. The queen, Miss Gladys Baxter, wore a beautiful robe of ivory satin fleur-de-nice, with an overdress of silk lace de-navarre, caught m Jong points on the back arid front of the skirt with trumpet -shaped gold buckles. The corsage was gracefully draped m lace, with daintily hanging angel sleeves, and finished at the waist with a Grecian belt of pearls. The court train, of royal purple velvet, was handsomely trimmed with ermine, draped up and caught with ermine '.leads, gold cord, and true lovers' knot of broad purple satin ribbon. The maids of honor (Misses Dorrie Bland and Gladys Bradley) also wore lovely frocks of ivory satin charmeuse, lavishly trimmed with* pearls and lace, with overdress of ninon, finished with gracefully falling court trains of satin. The queen was provided with a crown of artistic design, and the maids of honor wore coronets. CONQUERED. Influenza is more serious than most people imagine ; it taxes the most robust constitution to the utmost, and its effecs can often be felt for weeks afterwards. Usually the kidneys and liver are affected, and laxative medicine is always beneficial, but Raster's Lung Preserver, which builds up the system and restores the vitality, is easily ,the best remedy for influenza, and the sore throats which often accompany it. Once you try this famous Is lOd remedy, you will not experiment with others, lt "has a pleasant taste, and children take it readily. Auckland's "clean food" by-law has been upheld by Mr E. C. Cut-ten, S.M., m a judgment of considerable interest. The defendant was charged with a breach of by-law, which was m these words: — "Every person who sells within the city any meat or fish, or any food which is ordinarily consumed m the state m which it is sold, shall protect such food, until it is delivered to a purchaser, from dust and flies by storage iv covered receptacles, by covering -with wire gauze, or by other effectual means ; and no vendor shall carry such food through the streets unless it is protected as aforesaid." It was contended on behalf of defendant that <the by-law was bad on two grounds — (1) That it was not certain m its meaning, and (2) that it was unreasonable. In support of <the fiqst ground, it was contended that the words "any food which us ordinarily consumed m the state m which they are sold" are not cei'tain. "For example (so the argument ran), some people eat apples, skins and all; that is, consume them iv the state m which they are sold. 4 It seems to me <that the by-law is quite capable of reasonable interpretation." "The word 'ordinarily' gets over the difficulty," said his Worship. "Eating apples, skins and all, is so common among the younger people that it may be said they are ordinarily consumed m the state m which thoy are sold. A person, on the other hand*, who ate a cocoanut just as he purchased it would be doing something quite out ot the ordinary. I think the by-law prescribes a test which is quite easily applied, and it cannot be said to be uncertain." Furtherj the Magistrate saw no reason to hold that the by-law was unreasonable, and accordingly entered, a conviction.
