“Pour ounces of flour wasted daily in each N.Z. home means the total yield of 10,000 acres of land." The practice of publishing each month the complete list of deceased persons' estates was recently considered by the council of the Wellington District Law Society, when the following motion was agreed to: “That representation be made to the Commissioner of Stamps that the practice of publishing each month a lost of all estates, with the amounts as finally certified, is a great hardship upon relations of deceased persons who have been left ill-provided for. That the making public of such information serves no good public purpose, and is a mere pandering to idle curiosity, and, in the opinion of the society, the publication of the amount of estates under, say, £IO,OOO, if not of all estates, should be discontinued." The reply from the Commisioner was to the effect that “this matter had been discussed in Cabinet, but after consideration it had been decided that no action be taken to alter the existing practice," It was reported at the annual meeting of the Law Society the other night that the matter was still in hand. When “TAN-OL” comes in, dullness goes out. A splendid polisher for floors and furniture, leather and tan shoes.
