RANGITIKEI COUNTY RATES. Rangitikei County ratepayers are ' again reminded that their rates must he , paid by Monday next, the Bth inst., ro i avoid the 10 per cent, penalty being I added. Some ratepayers make a pracj lice of delaying payment until the last i <Lay.

Hawken (Minister of ' Agriculture), and Sir James Parr (Min- ! ister of Education) wrote stating that they would endeavour to visit the Rangitikei district on February 25, and ascertain its suitability as a site for an Agricultural University. It was decided to telegraph to the Hon. O. J. Hawken and Sir James Parr, asking them if they could visit the district on February 24 (Show day), as the Hon. A. D. McLeod would be visiting the district on that date. Mr Leon Wilson promised to prepare a draft of the rainfall in the district for the past two years, showing a com- . parison of the district rainfall to the ■ Dominion rainfall.

LOOK FOR THE CAUSE. Have you ever thought what it is that makes your back ache, yc it Lead, limbs or muscles ache, that weakens your heart or makes you nervous, sleepless, or irritable? It is kidney trouble and the above are some of the warnings. Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills should be taken at the first sign of anything wrong. They are the reliable kidney and bladder medicine, and they arc perfectly safe and very effective for men and women to use. The best evidence of this is the statement which we give below:— Mr Albert Shirley, Central Stable Patoa, says: “For a long time I wa troubled with pains in my back, and often had to stay in bed for days. When I was able” to get about I was almost bent double, and if I tried to straighten my back the pain was awful. Besides suffering in this way I was subject to dizziness, and the kidney secretions were effected, being thick and cloudy with a red sediment. I was beginning to think life was hardly worth living. One day Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills were recommended to me, and a thorough course of these pills made me feel a new man, driving the pain from my back and rectifying (he urinary trouble. I recommend Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills with every confidence as a sure cure for backache and kidney trouble, and trust sufferers will benefit by my experience.” Twelve years later Mr Shirley says: “I am still a great believer in Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills, and always keep a bottle by me. A few doses every now and then do a lot of good.” Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3/- per bottle, or will be posted on receipt of price by Foster-McClellan Co., L 5 Hamilton Street, Sydney But, be sure you get DOAN’S.
