Varicose Veins. There is no need .o suffer any longer from this complaint We have just imported an entirely new’ production in the form of a silk elastic stocking. They are made in flesh colour, of a new weave and so light and thin that they can be worn in the hott weather without any discomfort. They can also be worn absolutely unnoticed under modern silk hosiery. Being so closely woven they are much stronger, yet lighter in weight. These cost no more than the old kind. Every pair guaranteed. Call and inspec 1 . E. C. Ayres, Ltd., chemists, 76 Stafford St. South and 21 Arcade, Timaru

Mr Brian Murphy, Dawson Falls, skied from the top of Mt. Egmont to Fantham’s Peak during the week-end. This is the first time the feat has been accomplished, and it caused a great deal of interest among mountain enthusiasts w r ho visited Syme Hut, says the “Taranaki Daily News.” Mr Murphy climbed on skis to the summit. Then he skied out of the crater and shot down the slope. He never made a flaw in the whole trip, which took him about five minutes for a drop of over 2000 feet. Mr Murphy is an accomplished ski-runner. This season he has won the Ruapehu, Taranaki, and Egmont championships. He did not compete at the New Zealand championships. The only feat comparable with Mr Murphy’s was performed by Mr Alf Brustad, then of the Hermitage, about two years ago. He skied down the slopes of Fantham’s Peak.
