Wool Trade Outlook.— At the London School of Economy, Mr Hitchcosk, of the Raw Materials Branch of the War Office, read a paper on the importance of the Imperial Wool Trade. Since 1914 lha War Office had contracted for woollen goods exceeding £100,000,000. besides purchasing colonial clips. He predicted a position of great shortage of woo’ and a great demand and high prices for the world’s supply of textiles. It was, therefore, necessary to reserve all the Empire’s raw materials, Mr Massey said the arrangement between the Imperial and New Zealand Governments were much better, than that all the wool should find its way to speculators’ hands. He endorsed Mr Hitchcock’s opinion that prices would fa maintained after the war.

Saving Money in the Home.— The Editor of “ Everylady’s Journal ” proclaims the February number, just out, to be a great money-saving and moneymaking issue. His ground for so doing is a cluster of articles in which readers are shown how to make interesting hobbies develop into payable home industries, aud bow to manufacture in the home many of those household necessit-ies-such, for example, as bottled fruits —which are usually obtained from the storekeeper. The practical note is very strongly sounded in this number of Everylady’a Journal,” but there are also many interesting articles of a general character. For example, the Hon. W. A. Holman, Premier of New South Wales, writes on the subject of children and moving pictures; Mr Allan Wilkie talks about a Shakespearian Theatre for Australia; and Miss Mary Card gives one of her fascinating lessons in crochet work. Other items of note are a new aerial and one or two short stories, whilst the usual budget of free paper patterns accompanies the journal.

A Farmer’s Dilemma.— A farmer walked into a shop in Oamaru recently and in answer to a formal greeting from the man behind the counter, who happened to be on very familiar terms with him, stated that he was in a very difficult position. He had received two conflicting Government orders, neither of which could be disregarded without incurring serious penalties. He had received an order from one Government official, who had the whole department at bis back, to destroy within 14 days all the rabbits on his farm. Accompanying this was another order from the Defence Department calling upon him to immediately prepare himself to kill Germans. The farmer wanted to know which order was the more important. When told that the military commands were imperative and must not be ignored, he seemed delighted at the prospect of beating the rabbit inspector and cheating him of his prey. To be able to do this made the prospect of going to the war much pleasanter. A peculiar exhibit at the Takapuna Show was a plant growing a number of tomatoes on the stalks and potatoes on the roots, the result of a successful graft. Both products were of good quality. A French engineer named Dussaud claims to have discovered a light that does not develop heat, which permits the use of paper films instead of celluloid films for moving pictures. Sir J. Madden, K.0.M.G., etc., Lieutenant Governor and Chief Justice of Victoria, when delivering judgment in a case in which an inferior substitute bad been pushed as “ just as good ” as SANDER’S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, said: “ Whenever an article is commended to the public by reason of its good quality it is not permissable to imitate any of its features ” and he prohibited further substitution. When using a medicine it is “ good quality ” that you want, and SANDER’S EXTRACT has the endorsement and approval of the highest authorities. Inhaled, applied locally, taken on sugar or in water as directed, SANDEIJ’S EXTRACT is equally beneficial, because ft is specially refined and prepared by Sander’s process, and produces no harmful by-effects. Use SANDER’S EXTRACT only when you desire good and lasting effects; not “just as good."
