" A fairly sober man. who only got the worse ior drink twice a w&ak on the average," was the testimony of a witness at the East London coroner's court. In the opinion of Mr Justice Edwards, the country has plenty of money to spare. Among the witnesses called in the Te Puke assault case, tried at the Auckland Supreme Court last week, was the local constable, whose evidence was not of a very material character, and only lasted for a couple of minutes. "Is this the constable's quarterly holiday ? " inquired his Honour, drawing attention to the matter. " For all the evidence he bar given, he might have stayed at Te Puke. It seems quite absurd for him to have come down for this. However, I hope he has enjoyed his holiday, ibut it happens too often, this sort of thing." The Crown solicitor replied that the constable's services were essential in order to look after the witnesses. " 'Well, as far as I am concerned," observed hir Honour, " I think it a waste of money, except so far as to give the constable a visit to a remarkably fine and growing city. I hope he will profit by his visit. The country has evidently got more money to spare than I thought." Mr Tole observed that had he not called the constable he might have been accused of not bringing out all the evidence. WHEN YOU TAKE POOD YOU NEED DIGESTION. UNCHALLENGED FACT. Food, no matter how carefully eaten, is useless unless digested, and if of benefit must be thoroughly digests. No person can deny this. Digestion is not perfect. Indigestion and constipation are worrying iactors. ' These people become nervous and irritable. They suffer from all sorts of pains— neuralgia, constipation, headache, biliousness — nearly always the consequence of indigestion. The point is nicely illustrated by the experience of an Auckland merchant, who said : "I find thai hy i&king , a, few doses of TAMER FRUIT PILLS I do not get troubled by an attack of indigestion or flatulency as formerly. For several years- I was nearly always troubled with headache and constipation, which often would finish with a bilious attack, and -I .would be quite useless for my work for several days. I discovered that by taking a dose of Tamer Fruit Pills occasionally indigestion would not bother me, so I kept on taking them for about a month. I then gave them a rest, and found that my stomach was sufficiently strengthened to not require further | help." Almost everyone who suffers from indigestion will find benefit by taking a,.few doses of Dr. Ensor's TAMER FRUIT They Assist every particle, of food to be digested. Flatulency, pain, discomfort, heartburn, and the host of unpleasant symptoms of indigestion do not trouble tlhe eater who -will be advised to take Tamer Fruit Pills.

An, alarming incident, which fortuntely hoid no serious consequences, occurred to the Sydney express neai" Winton, Vie. The coraiection rod Smith would fill up the bottom of the '—ing at a h g>h rate of speed, and smashing some of the under-gear, and also made a hole in the boiler. The driver immediately took steps to apply the brake. Tt© eng-ine was enveloped in steam, amid just as Swan applied the brake he either fell or wua knocked off the train, wh oh was at that moment travelling at about 40 miles an hour. .The train came to a standstill when the water • and steam had all gone. Then the packing 1 inside the boiler caught £re. The driver picked himself up and onade his way to the engine. He had a wound on his forehead and another on. his right faw. There .were several medical men on the train coming over ,to attend the medical Congress at Melbourne, and Swa'n'si injuries were dressed. He was put into the guard'si van, and subseqwently brought on to Benalia. It is not tiouglut that his injuries will prove serious. Aaaother engine w&s put on, but the express was delayed two hours as the reswlt of the accident. Bad legs, 'old sores, recent cuts and abrasions qiuickly healed by " Eed Cross" Ointment. Is 6d everywhere. '
