Damp, foggy mornings are the medium through which practically > every chest complaint is born, so it be.hoves everyone to take adequate precautions. If you suffer from coughs, asthma, or any pulmonary complaint use de Montalk’s Linseed Chest Balsam. The results, will amaze you, and it is only 2/6 a bottle from J. M. de Montalk, Chemist, Frankton. A graceful little tribute was paid the Wellington Harmonic Society and its conductor (Mr H. Temple White) on its performance of “The Messiah” by the Governor-General. Quite spontaneously he wrote a few words of appreciation on the back of his programme and sent it to Mr White. His Excellency’s graciousness was much appreciated. The slim figure that requires surgical support will find Glencoe House corselettes especially beneficial. Preparations are being made for a combined Government exhibit representing all departments at the Wellington Winter Show. Stains on knife handles should be rubbed with finely-powdered pumice stone and water.
