CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY

A COINCIDENCE A leading Wellington business man was in Dunedin recently, and he had mado arrangements to call on an old business friend at 5 o’clock. When he dropped in to see his acquaintance several oilier visitors were there, and lie asked the meaning for the party. “Oh,” said one man. “It is our friend’s birthday to-day, and we are just here to wish him the best of. health and prosperity.” v Jt then transpired that curiously enough it was also the birthi day of another member of the group, land both men were exactly the same age.. AVhat, however, impressed tlie J visitor was the fact that on the merchant’s desk was a bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver, and, pointing to it. he queried. “Is this a birthday present?” “No,” replied the merchant with a laugh. “As a matter of fact, I have had a sore throat; for the last day or two and I sent the storeman out for a bottle of good old ‘Baxter’s.’ There is nothing like it.” Thousands of New Zealanders will endorse the merchant’s statement that there is nothing like Baxter’s Lung Preserver for soothing sore throats, checking incipient coughs and colds, and bracing up the system to ward off future attacks. This fine old remedy has been for many years the favourite remedy for ailments of this nature in this country. You can obtain . a generous-sized bottle of Baxter's Lung Preserver at apy chemist or store for 2s ‘6d, or, better still, buy the economical family, size at 4s 6d. Bachelors will find the eighteenpenny bottle most useful. —4.

went close to scoring 1 from corners, but the defenders in each case managed to keep the goals intact, until just on half-time Miss Thomas opened the scoring by netting for Wesley. Mount Eden attacked strongly when the game recommenced, and Miss Cameron was successful in evening the total. Determined play by Wesley allowed Miss Thomas to score again, and it was not till toward the end that Miss Hamlin made a splendid solo effort in the circle, and succeeded in equalising. Mr. 11. Watts controlled the game. The Arawa-Y.W.C.A. game was keenly fought throughout. The forwards made strenuous efforts to score, but, as in the other game, it was not until a. few seconds before the interval that a point was gained, when Miss Crosby scored for Arawa. Following the resumption, Arawa pressed the Y.W.C.A. defence, and Miss Simpson added another point. Y.W.C.A. fought hard to reduce the deficit, and Miss Waters was successful in netting. This success spurred Y.W.C.A., and several onslaughts were made on the Arawa goal, but without result, although the ball was netted on one occasion only, to be spoiled by an infringement. The Arawa defence was too good in the remaining time, and Arawa ran out the victors. Mr. N. J. Ellison was the referee.
