The annual tenders for miscellaneous supplies for the Timafu Borough Council are invited by advertisement to-day. A young man named Joseph Tait was brought "up on remand before Mr W. A. Sherratt, J.P-, at the Magistrate's. Court, •Geraidine, on Tuesday, charged vrith having had. carnal knowledge of Mary Aim Tiliey, Peel Forest, a girl under the age of consent. The police having no evidence to offer the accused was discharged. The reason -why the case was dropped was that the charge had to be laid under the old Act. which provides that information must be made within one month of the day en * whicii the alleged offence was committed. The annua: garden partv of the'Wesleyan Ladies' Guild, Timaru, will be held la Mr Bowker's Grounds, College road, tlrs afternoon.

The greatest need of the age is the ore] which the Viavi health movement is supplying with such remarkable success, under the leadership, of its thousands of advocates throughout the civilised worldd. It is a movement of education and reform, and is devoted to a higher physical life for women. It opens a world of wholesome knowledge hitherto closed to them, but necessary to their intelligent living and their- happiness. The urgent duty of every woman is to understand its aims and achievements. Untold thousands of women are suffering. -some carelessly, some ignorantly, and stf.l ■ others hopelessly. A small veneration for 4he sacredness of the human body, lack of "knowledge concerning its powers of endurance, and a heedlessness for the intimate relation of health to much that is best in life, account for nearly all that we see of " individual . suffering and the transmission of weakness. Women, the groundwork of the world's happiness, are the. chief sufferers, therefore it is strongly urged upon ©very womijn that she attend the free health talk to be given on Friday afternoon at the Assembly Rooms, by Mrs A. L. Folger. General manager for the Australian and New Zealand Viavi Company. Mrs Folger is a lady of wide experience, having addressed large audience in all the principal cities of the world. Her talks are illustrated with life-size charts, showing in a graphic and instructice manner the conditions discussed, and aiming to raise the Standard of physical excellence. ...
