The dance is for the benefit of a distressed member, a returned soldier, who lias had to undergo several operations since his return from service, culminating in the amputation of one leg at the knee. The brother has a wife and three children, and his cause will no doubt meet with generous support. Excellent music will be supplied, and supper will be provided. The admission charge is very moderate. A PIPE-SMOKER'S COMFORT. Probably more men get comfort out of eating and smoking than out of all other habits put ‘together.

Influenza.—Twenty-one years ago when I left Wellington to come to Timaru to take over the Pharmacy, which the late Mr Eichbaum had successfully carried on for a number of years, Mr H. Brittain, of Manners Street, Wellington, chemist, presented me with the formula for making anti-grippe mixture, a specific for influenza. Mr Brittain had sold Anti-Grippe for years in his pharmacy with great success. I have sold Anti-grippe ever since coming to Timaru, and its sale is always increasing. Anti-Grippe at once relieves the pain, removes the feverish symptoms, and effects a cure. Price 2s 6d a bottle from L. B. James, prescription chemist, Timaru. ..,
