HOW TO AVOID A WRECK.

terval between the ballots could be so manipulated ais to undo the whole principle of the Bill. The House resumed at 7.150 p.m. The debate continued. Mr Allen said it waa a common report in the lobbies that the vote 'taken in the afternoon was the result of an intimation given to supporters that the division was to be treated as a want of confidence vote. Sir Joseph Ward gave this an emphaticdenial. Mr Allen retorted that the Minister might give a denial, but nevertheless, it wc.s true. Mr Barclay said the second Lai] .1 )■: d been a failure elsewhere, chiefly because of the tremendous influence brought to bear between the first and second ballots. Mr Tanner, while opposed to the Bill, root and branch, saw nothing to be gained at this stage by further opposition. , The Hon. J. McGowan 6aid the Opposition was against the Bill because it was dangerous — (hear, hear) — dangerous he meant to the Opposition. Newspapers were prosecuted for contem.pt of court if they commented upon cases sub judice, and he failed to see'why clause 19 should be called the "gag" because it proposed to establish the same principle in elections. Mr Herries said the Government was afraid its own vote would be split. The late Mr Seddon would never have dreamed of bringing such a Bill down. The whole measure wae one of the most extraordinary ever brought before Parliament. Aftej further discussion the motion was agreed to on the voices. LOCAL BODIES LOAN AMENDMENT BILL. The House went into Committee oh the Local Bodies Loan Amendment Bill. At clause 19, providing that the Public Trustee is to be the sole commissioner of the sinking fund, some, discussion took place as to the meaning of the clause, and the extent of its operation. Mr Izard said that mider the clause it wag compulsory upon local bodies to make the' Public Trustee the Sinkitfg Fund Commissioner, whether the Government guarantee was behind the loan or not. Sir Joseph Ward said that would be the case in regard to all future loans. Mr Massey said that it was very unfair. It meant that local public bodies must invest their sinking funds in Government debentures whether the loans were guaranteed or not. He saw no objection to such a stipulation where the Government guaranteed the loan, but in other cases local bodies would strongly object to such compulsion. After some further discussion Sir Josonh said that the proposal was, a reasonable one. The extra interest local bodies, might obtain outside the Government for a-sink-ing fund would be scarcely wortli considering, but if it w,ere considerably more it would mean that the security would be precarious, and,, further, it would ' make money dear. Under this proposal the Government guaranteed the whole investment of a sinking fund. Some other members said that the effect of the clause would b^ to prevent local bodies obtaining first-class security at high interest outside the Dominion. Mr Wilfords amendment was defeated by 41 to 20. The clause was agreed to by the same division. Section 20 was amended to include the Native Maori Land Laws Amendment Act, 1902. WELLINGTON, September 30. In the House the Premier moved new clauses extending the Bill to loans in respect of which steps had already been, taken before the passing of the Act and other matters. These and mraor amendments were -agreed to. A proposal by Mr Herries to increase the borrowing powers' of Towji Boards from .£3OO to .£lOOO was rejected by 35 to 20, and the Bill reported. The Public Service Classification and Superannuation, Local Authorities Superannuation Funds,' 014 Age Pensions Act Amendment, Naval Subsidy,' Mental Hospital Reserves, and Infants Amendment i Bills were introduced by Governor's message. The House rose at 1.15.

The same exactly with kidney trouble. If doctored at the first symptom the cure is an easy matter, but if allowed to, go too far the system will be hopelessly wrecked. One of your own residents gives some useful advice on this matter. Mrs H. Titshall, Ridgway Street, Wanganui, says: — "For six months my health was in a very bad way, my ill health started with backache. During the day I did not suffer much, but when I went to bed feeling lit for a good sleep, the pain would start and keep me awake all night. If I did dose off I was in a half conscious state, seeming to know my surroundings all the time. Then I would get up in the morning completely done up, and being so tired the day seemed very long. I also suffered with urinary trouble, my secretions were cloudy and dark coloured, and sometimes scalded ; then I had bad headaches and giddy at- \ tacks. I knew that these were sigiiß of kidney disease. I saw Doan's" Backache Kidney Pills advertised as being good for this complaint and got some at Wilton's Pharmacy. This remedy proved most effective during the backache and every other symptom of kidney trouble. I now sleep well at night, and get up in the morning quite fresh. In lact I am in splendid health, and this is due solely to Doan's Backache .Kidney Pills.' Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are a special mcdi- " cine for the kidneys and bladder, they are for men and women, old and young, and may be taken by all with perfect safety.
