At the meeting .of Rangitikei County Council on Saturday Mr Beckett, in tendering his resignation, addressed the Council as follows :—"ln tendering my resignation I desire to thank the Council for the courtesy and consideration which has been shown me during the term I have occupied the chair and to express the pleasure it has given me to preside. After 30 years experience of public bodies I have no hesitation in saying that I have never been connecteTl with any body on which all have worked so well aud so harmoniously for the general welfare, no petty feeling of parochialism having arisen during the two years in which this Council lias been in office. It is, I think, all the more creditable to all concerned, when the fact is taken into consideration that there might very easily have developed a feeling between the northern aud southern portions of the county, had tho representatives of the Ridings been less capable I desiro to thank the staff 'S'for the assistance they have at all times cheerfully given me, ana' to express my opinion of the able and efficient manner In which they at all times carry out their duties. . It is a pleasure to think that we have been recognised as one of the most capable public bodies in the colony and that I think wo have in no way impaired that reputation. Owing to exceptionally fine weather we have been enabled to do a great deal of useful work during the last twelve months; and I trust the coming winter .will be equally favourable /iud that you will be enabled to carry on the work of the county witJi tho same or even a less rate than.we have fixed to-day. I hope that at some future date I shall be able to resume my connection with the Council if not in the chair, at any rate as a member of the Council with which I have been associated for the last 15 or 16 years.

"THE DAILY ROUND, THE COMMON TASK." This is where good health is a blessing. Household. work and worry, the monotony" of each day's allotment, the. anxiety, the skimp find skrugo to make expenditure keep within the bounds of income, often tax the strength of the strongest and most robust of women, and helps to make them feel old, whether they look it or not. To the delicate and "not over strong" this "daily round "becomes absolute drudgery. Funds often will not allow of a servant, and where this is possible, the servant is not. It simply resolves it-self into this: — That the housewife must fit herself to carry out these duties tot-he best ability, and with' least exertion to herself. Aud not the least important duty is 'to attend to her general health. -Neglect means ruin. A bottle of Impey's May Apple kept in the house, a few drops taken after every meal, will go a long way to improve things. It is astonishing how quickly the work gets done when you feel well. Impey's May Apple will help you; 2s 6d at chemists and stores.
