A, suggestion from the Wairau branch of the Farmers ’ Union, that the Imperial Government be approached in reference to exporting horse flesh from New Zealand, occupied the attention of the Farmers’ Union for a while at a recent meeting (says the Manawatu “Times”). Mr Vile said they could export 30,000 horses for consumption at Home and use the grazing for fattening stock. Mr Wingate said it was not commonly known that horse flesh would not freeze but it could be tinned. In England and America shops were retailing horse flesh, and they had long existed in France. Mr Vile further suggested that the export of large numbers of horses would improve the breed of horses and assist breeders. It was decided to endorse the resolution. Cable messages last week described the thrilling escape from Germany of Corporal J. W. Pitts and Private Wesley Chaote, both Adelaide boys. A letter has now been received from Corporal Pitts from Holland (says an Adelaide message). He describes his sufferings in Germany, and says: “The sixteen months I spent in Germany seemed like sixteen years. It is certainly a part of my life I shall never forget. I often wonder what strange turn fate has in store for me. What is the ultimate end for which I have fought, and been fooled, cursed, swore, drank and made merry, starved and suffered, and become so desperate that I valued my life at less than a cup of water. Answer me the riddle if you can, because it beats me hands down. All the lino ideas and notions that I have had have been brutally knocked down. What I have passed through made my passions as primeval as could be imagined. If ever I get to France again the brute beast in me will cry out for revenge. Every man has a bit of the beast in him. Mine has been lashed into active life. It will take more than a day to bring me back to the same chap I was before I went to Germany. The thought of my many friends in Australia seems to have_ a soothing effect on mo, and makes life less hard. IT IS THE DESTINGTIVE QUALITY Of BANDER’S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT—its freedom from resins and woody impurities, its great antiseptic, healing, stimulating powers, and its safety—that prompted the highest medical authorities to recommend it as the only eucalyptus produced fit for internal use. At the Supreme Court of Victoria, a witness testified that he was made much worse by a substitute which was sold as “just as good” as SANDER’S EXTRACT, and his trouble (ulcer) was healed rapidly by the GEN CINE SANDER EXTRACT afterwards. The-common eucalyptus which is fit for mechanical purposes only, such as making varnish, should never be employed as a remedial agent. SANDER’S EXTRACT can be used on the most tender sufaoe or internally with perfect safety, and when taken as directed will always benefit.
