STRAINED BY VOMITING.

WAS A MARTYR TO BILIOUSNESS, COMPLETELY CUSED BY BILE ' BEAN'S. “Ever since I was six years old”.says Mrs. James Style, of 97, Millen-st., Boulder, W.A., “ up to a short time ago, when Bile Beans cured me, I was a martyr to biliousness. For days together 1 would be prostrated, and I suffered in a dreadful manner; in fact, I was not able to move. My whole system would be strained by severe fits of vomiting. I became weak and completely run-down and was not able to do any work. Every week I used to have an attack of sickness, and I felt altogether in a wretched state. At last I was induced to try Bile Beans, and after taking a few doses, found myself on the way to perfect health. As I continued with Bile Beans the vomiting fits grew less frequent, and finally left me altogether. lu a short time I was able to get about, and after a full course of Bile Beans was completely cured. Now if I feel at all out-of-sorts I take a dose or two of Bile Beans on retiring, and they never fail to bring me the relief I seek, f cannot speak too highly of Bile Beans; they are a splendid family medicine.” Bile Beans are a true and reliable family medicine, and valuable for old and young of both sexes. A supply should always be kept in every medicine chest and a dose taken on the first signs of a headache or any stomach trouble. An occasional dose of Bile Beans will help you to keep healthy ami strong. Sold at 1/1J and 2/0 by all stores and chemist*.

A World ProblemAd interesting guest ah the annual dinner last week given by the Auckland Provincial Industrial ‘Association was the Acting-Prime Minister (the Hon. Jas. Carroll), and the silver-tongued orator of the Dominion was in happy mood in replying to the toast of “Parliament.” The first point he dealt on was a remark relative to legislative rest made by the proposer of the toast (Mr. H. C. Clark). This was, he said, only a phrase, legislative rest was an impossibility. Legislative rest meant: Why send members to Parliament? Why have a constitution? He contended they must always be on the move, and the members of the Association being present meant that they were banded together to protect their interests, and move forward.' He felt that if they valued the prosperity of the country, their commercial advancement and development, if they placed any Significance on the well-being of the people, they must study the commercial interests of the country. The parties— Labour and Capital—must work together and in harmony. This was the problem they had to face to-day all the world over. They could not understand it in the older world, but here the people were malleable, and could learn by the disasters of the older countries. The Association did not want to be too arrogant, but while preserving their own interests should extend consideration to the other side. The question would finally be settled on common-sense lines. Parliament had attempted to solve the problem by legislation, and they had the employees on one side, and the employers on the other against them. He believed that they would yet find imbued in all sections a true sense of fair play, and when they arrived at that understanding the problem was solved. Labour was undoubtedly absolute, but capital on the other hand could not be done without. Miners’ Awful Deatli, Two miners working at Roundhill, Joseph Bates and Frank Smith, were found drowned last week. They were working in a hole, and it appears that a fall of sludge pinned them. Before they could extricate themselves the water rose and drowned them. Bates, who was 37 years of age, leaves a widow and several children. Smith was single. The City’s Purse. An interesting statement with regard to the city’s purse was presented to the 'Auckland City Council last week, by the city treasurer (Mr. J. 8. Brigham). An interesting portion of this statement gave the following statutory accounts of the city showing credit bal-

THE DEBIT BALANCE. referring to the debit balance on the general account, the treasurer explained that in the estimates for the year it was forecasted that after providing for an expenditure on the Grafton bridge of >£10,750 in excess of the £30,000 loan, the account would show a debit balance of £7,853. Owing to the Council’s inability to float the electricity loan of f£225,000 favourably, the general account had been called on to advance £21,953 .for electricity capital expenditure pending the placing of the loan, and the streets expenses had exceeded the allocation of f £27,300 for maintenance, special works, *n<| planting by £6,650 18/4. Had the account not been called upon to provide the advaqces to the electric loan, and had the streets expenses been within the allocation, the operations for the year

would have shown a surplus of £2,6'20 18/3 over the estimated figures. THE WATERWORKS It was anticipated that the waterworks account would be in credit £6,221 at the end of the year, but as the receipts had exceeded expectations by ' £4,000, and the expenditure on the Nihotupu works had not reached the amount allocated, there was a balance of £18,675 15/11 to carry forward. The balance of '£13,561 on the waterworks extension loan account had been brought forward, and had, with the exception of £662, been spent on the completion of the impounding dam and works at Waitakere. At present the loan was exhausted, and any further capital expenditure would have to be met from waterworks funds. At the close of the previous financial year, £12,787 remained in the waterworks extension and enlargement loan account, and that sum had been practically exhausted by payments for the Archhill reservoir £3.365, Khyber Pass reservoir £9,252, and sundry items £92. THE CONSOLIDATED LOAN. Of the £83,561 in hand of the consolidated loan, £BO,OOO are on deposit bearing 4 per cent, per annum interest. The expenditure during the year from the loan was as follows: — Town Hall £25,273 Drainage ... 10,815 Streets improvements 12,834 Customs-street improvements .. 2,041 High-street widening 811 Synronds-street widening 54 Grafton Bridge. 585 Sundries I 67 Total £52,480 The payments for interest and exchange on loans totalled £54,522, and by placing on deposit loan money not immediately required for works, interest amounting to £4,005 has been earned to assist the interest account. A credit balance of £8,671 6/9 has been carried forward. The total amount paid to the city sinking fund commissioners was £6,619 10/, sinking fund being paid on all loans. Of that amount £1,815 was paid from the tramway profits, leaving a credit of £15,473.

The total debt of the city for loans raised is ' £1,172,900, against which are sinking fund accretions amounting to, approximately, £154,575. The ratepayers have authorised a further loan of '£5(25,000 for electrical purposes, and part of that loan should be raised during the ensuing year.
