THE AoHBUETON QtJAKDIAK; FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1892.



The Hampstead School Concert Stakes place to-night. The final rehearsal last night went splendidly At the meeting of the Education Board on Thursday Mrs Rayner was appointed sewing mistress at Ruapuna. On the motion of Mr Wright, the following was adopted—" That the amended scholarships regulations shall be brought into operation at once, and that the resolution of July 28 on this subject be rescinded." This was passed because by the regulations only coming into force on January 1, country candidates now fifteen years of age could not compete for twelve months, and then they would be disqualified as being too old. The Longbeaoh Committee were allowed £2, cost of gate in the dividing fence. Applications for work of supplies were deferred until the Board was in better fuads, from the Ashburton and other Com mittees. The Wakanui Committee was allowed £2 towards cost of putting ground at Riverside in order; Little Kakaia, £2 10s for improvements on master's house; and Baling, £1 towards forming and gravelling a path. It was decided to call for tenders for a new school at Upper Ashburton Forks. The Best Remedy fob Indigestion— , Norton's Camomile Pills are confident^ i recommended as a simple remedy foi Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all the diseases to which we are subjects, Norton's Pills, with justice called the 'Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach," act as a powerful tonic and gentle perient, are mild in their operation, and afe under any circumstances.

Holloway's Pills and Oiktment. — Health's Defences.—None save the strongest can with impunity pass through the sudden transitions from wet to dry, from cold to muggy weather so prevalent during the autumnal and early winter months. Influ enza, bronchitis, cough, sore throat, or quinsey will attack those most watchful of their health ; but they can readily arrest any of these complaints by rubbing Holloway's Ointment twice a day upon the skin over the affected parts, and by assisting its corrective action with appropriate doses of his pills. This well-known, safe, and easy mode of treatment efficiently protects the patient both from present and future danger with out weakening or even disturbing the system in the slightest degree. "IKEATING'S POWDER' destroys BUGS, FLEAS, MOTHS, BEETLES,>d all other insects, whilst quite harmlessand domestic animals. In exterminating Beetles the success of this powder is extraordinary. It is perfectly clean in application. See the article you purchase is " KEATINGS," as imitations are noxious and ineffectual. Sold in Tins 6d, Is, and 2s 6d each, by all chemists.
