“Taranaki holds the palm for roads In New Zealand,” said Mr W. Morrison, a member of the Main Highways Board party which met North Taranaki local bodies at New Plymouth, In reply to the requests made by the Taranaki County Council and the Taranaki Automobile Association. Mr Morrison complimented the local bodies on the very fine roads, which, he said, were quoted all over the Domion as the finest. Taranaki had been the first district In New Zealand to go in for tar-sealing. Mr C. J. Talbot, another member of the board, said the roads of Taranaki were an object lesson to the Dominion, though It would not have paid local bodies m some parts, such as Canterbury, to lay such roads as had been laid in Taranaki, where they had been necessitated by economic reasons.

Sir Arbuthnot Lane, the famous British physician, says that people with a pure blood stream will live much longer than those whose blood is poisoned by the toxins caused by constipation. Boils, pimples, indigestion, gastric ulcers, appendicitis, are often due to chronic constipation. The use of harsh purgatives gives only a temporary relief; they are habit-forming and dangerous. If you are constipated take Laxigen. This is a natural, gentle laxative that will restore the bowels to their natural wave-like movement. Laxigen is obtainable at _ 2/S bottle from E. C. Ayres, Ltd., chemists, Stafford Street South, Timaru. EXPRESS TIME-TABLE. Departures from Timaru. For Christchurch.—Express trains, 4.18 a.r.i.
