COLONEL G. J. SMITH.

The officers of the Garrison Club assembled at Broadway's last week to. bid farewell to Colonel G. J. 1 Smith, who left for Auckland on Saturday night to catch the Niagara, for England. There were about sixty officers present, representing the different branches of -the Service. Colonel Slater, V.D., the oldest Volunteer officer of the district, in a happy speech, referred to the good work Colonel Smith had done in the ; Volunteer and Territorial service in Christchurch. He made special mention of the .services of Colonel Smith, who was one of the trustees of the King Edward Barracks, in connection with raising funds to defray the cost of construction of"the barracks. The speaker then presented Colonel Smith with a leather dispatch case and tv case of pipes, as a token of the esteem in which he was held.

i Colonel R. A. Chaffey. Officer Com- , j manding tlie Canterbury Military Dis- ! trict, also expressed' his appreciation of | Colonel Smith's services, and specially referred.to the good work done by him as Commandant -of tlie camp from which the Main Body (N.Z.E.F.) departed. Captain Stevenson, of the First Regiment, spoke of Colonel Smith's popularity, and thanked him on behalf of the officers for tho many kindnesses they had received'at his hands. Colonel Smith, in replying, said he felt it was his duty to go to England to offer his services to the War Office. He woaid much sooner have been in command of Now Zealanders, but as that apparently was not possible, he did what he thought was the next best thing, and decided' to go Home and serve there. He appreciated very much the opportunity of meeting the officers collectively before leaving, and said that he had no doubt he would meet a good many later on in England. TO THE LUNGS DIRECT. THE ONLY WAY TO CITRE COUGHS. COLDS AND BRONCHITIS. Tho discovery of Peps has at last provided Australians with a natural and rational means for overcoming coughs, colds, sore threat, bronchitis, and other ailments of the respiratory organs. The great difference between the Peps breathable, way of treating throat and chest troubles and the old-fashion- j i ed methods is that Peps gets to the I j root of the trouble direct. J j The valuable medicine locked up in each Peps tablet is released iu tlie form i of air as the tablet dissolves on the j tongue. It then circulates naturally [ with the breath through all the delicate [ air passages that, extend from the nostrils down the throat into the. bronchial tubes and the innermost corners of tlie lungs. Liquid cough mixtures can only he swallowed into the stomach ; they cannot reach the lungs, except indirectly through thojjlood. and then the effect is often injurious owing to the opium, laudanum and other harmful dings they contain. The Paps medicine, on the other hand, is breathed direct into the lungs; j it thus comes into immediate contact { with everv part of the breathing tract, j The instant effect, is most comforting and invigorating. These Peps fumes soothe, heal and protect lb- delicate lining membrane. Thev are antiseptic, and quickly destroy the germs tha cause soreness and inflammation in the throat and chest. Peps loosens the phlegm m the bronchials, make breathing easy, and soon banishes that hacking cough, that sense of suffocation and chest tightness. j It stands to reason that this Peps j method of conveying the correct medicine to the lungs in the oniy natural TV - ;lv __oy breathing—must result in the maximum amount of benefit, and ajso provide the best dei'eUco against the chifii perils that come with cold and ck-.uip "r witli any weather j change*.
