LOCAL AND GENERAL.
We understand that there is a shortage of butter in Wanganui just now, and if the wants of tiie population are to be supplied it will be necessary to fall back on butter stored in cool chambers for export to the Old Country. "It is an old cry: 'keep the oradlefi full' and it is being used just now 'to repair the ravages of war." To repair the ravages of war—just think of it. Keep the cradles full—yes. the-y would make it compulsory if they could; but nobody ever tells the women of tfoe poor how to keep the babies full." —Mrs Gill, candidate for the Hospital Board, referring to the need for an up-to-date maternity home, when outlining her platform at the labour candidates' meeting at Palmerston North last night.
