ASHBURTON—MONDAY

(Before, the Mayor and Mr Aleorn, J.P.s) Drunkenness.—A first offender was con victed and discharged, on the understanding that a prohibition older that had been in force against him for a year and had just expired should be renewed. Vageancy.— James and Mary Sfcanton were charged with having no lawful visible meuns of support. They pleaded not guilty, They had with them in Court a boy of six years. Mr E. S. Coater said they ha I been on the road at his place, and the child had been sent to him to ask for food, and the woman had «jso been there on the same quest. The man in conversation said he would steal, but he did not say he would do bo if not supplied with food. —W. Shearman said the woman had called at his shop a week ago and had asked for groceries as she was very hungry and her husband was away working Ho had seen them camped on the racecourse road. Did not give them any groceries.—T. M. Jones said he did not know the man and woman, but the lad had called at his place and afsked for food. Gave him some, and also some apples. Asked him where he came from, and he pointed northwards, and said his mother was camped in the trees, and that she had sent him. Believed they had been camped there for about a fortnight. Knew nothing of the man doing any work.—J L. Hayman said he had '.een the woman and child, who had called at hia place three weeks ago. The woman asked for a pot to boil something, as she was camped in the plantation. She said her husband was making for Longheach. He gave her no pot as his wife was not at home. Saw the woman visit several houses in the neighbourhood, and come away with goods, apparently provisions. Had never seen the man till that day.—Constable Eade Baid that Mr Wilson, of Dromore, had complained of these people being a nuisance. They had been camped there snoe November last. Other people had complained that the child had been sent to beg from door to door, but they did not eire to appear. The man had been seen about town, and had worked two or three hours at Mr Steele'a. On Saturday night saw him the worse of drink. —Constable Hammond said the man had been working at Steele's for a, few hours, but had mot returned to work next day. They had been living by begging.—Constable Moore also gave evidence that they had been about town for three weeks, and the man did so work.—There had been seventeen previous convictions against the man, who said he had broken up his home in Timaru, and in consequence of having no work he had gone in search of employment. He had only a few shillings and his wife would not stay behind, but went with him. They had gone to Oxford where he had got some work, and from there they had moved about the country for some time, He travelled about eeeking work but could not find* any. He denied that they had lived in camp with any intention of living idly upon other people. He had a child in the Rescue Home, and two with his father in-law.—The Sergeant said it was not at all right to have a little child sent about the neighbourhood begging, and the residents complaining of it. If they had. gone on wben warned the police would not have interfered with them.—The Bench Baid they would be convicted and discharged this time, but if brought before the Court again they would not be ao leniently dealt with. ■ Prohibition Order. —The prohibition order against Robert Campbell was renewed.

A Short Talk on Being Tired.

Are you a working man, or a working woman ? I don't mean one who is so by classification, or by having been born on the sinister side of certain linea of social cleav age, but solely because you daily do some sort of real, honest, and useful work ? Yes ? ! I shake your hand. I hope you manage to \ live by it without overdoing, and that (be- j ing s'ili hearty and healthy) you sometimes find yourself tired, dog-tired, and hungry as » wolf, .with plenty of good feed for supper. Then hey ! for bed and a genuine sleep of , eight hours ; to jump from bed in the morn- j ing, both feet on the fi >or at once. That'a ' the right kind of •' tired " and the heaven descended brand of rest. It is a blessing in itself, and bears others in its tiain. But the variety of fatigue so many people are all the time writing us about is different. Listen to this one, for instance : "In Sfp tember, 1893," he says, "I was overcome by a feeling of languor. I was easily tired and comparatively slight efforts served to ex haust me completely. Indeed I never seemed rested at all, and "was as tired in the morning as when I went to bed. Both musclea and mind were inert and relaxed. At the same time my appetite seemed to be tired too. I had no relish for food, and after eating felt uneasiness and distress in the stomach and pain at. the chest. My skin was sallow also, and there was a dull aching at my right Hide in the region of the liver. " I was constantly belching up a sour fluid, and my food would sometimes ' repeat' or riße into my mouth. All I could do to rectify this miserable state ef things I did, acting apon the suggestion of friends and otherßj but failed to come across a remedy for my complaint, which meantime ob tained a stronger hold upon me. "On account of my inability to eat and digest food my flesh fell oft until I became so thin you misjhfc have fancied me as having gone into a decline. And I was so weak I could scarcely get about. I remained in this condition month after month, unfit, of course, for work and virtually a man out of the world's fight. " The doctor who prescribed for me pro bably understood my case, but he was not able, apparently, to cure me. And I notice it is in illness as in business; unless one holds his own he is bound to be falling behind, which made me soxioua to obtain relief soon, lest I might passs beyond the reach of ifc. And in answer to the hope finally came the help I needed. " In July of last year (1894) I read about Mother Heigel's Syrup in a small pamphlet ! which was left at our house The book dcs- ! cribed my Bymptonaa perfectly, and j stated the disease to be indigestion, with dulness and inactivity of the liver, the latter condition a result of the former. The weak ness and loss of weight it explained, natur ally enough, to be the effect of want of proper nourishment. Cure the stomach trouble in such cases, said an article in the pamphlet, and the consequences will vanish of themselves. '• On this I procured a bottle of the Syrup from Messrs Robinson and Co., chemists, Hunslet Carr, and after taking it for a few days, I. found myself much better. My food now ceased to give me pain, and I gained Borne strength with every meal. No better proof of the power of this medicine could I ask. 1 continued the use of it; the bad symptoms abated, and no longer troubled me, and in a few weeks I felt as vigorous and well as ever I did. I could work as before and experienced that kind of fatigue which promotes rest and is relieved by it, I have since enjoyed good health, and you are welcome to publish this short account of my case. (Signed) Percy Hardaker, 42, Woodhouse Hill Road, Hunslet Carr, Leeds, March 29,1895." Mr Hardaker is agent for the Pearl Assur ance Society, and is well and widely known. His own inteiligenc comments on his com plainb renders any words of ours quite needless. In private conversation he said he looked upon that unnatural ♦' tired " feel ing as a warning that none should neglect. Jt means, not the effect of work, but of exhaustion through that subtle di:eassi indigestion. Mother Seigel's Syrup should be taken then, as he would have taken it fchen had he heard of it. We hope Mr Hardaker's timely words, based as they are on an instructive experience, will be helded by all to whom they apply.

A well attended meeting of the Prohibition League took place on Friday night—Key. J. Olphert, President, in the chair. ' The pro gramme for the Easter Convention of the Middle Island Council was diecussed, and several suggestions made. It was a^so debidedj almost unanimously, to nominate a committee for the approaching licensing election. Five gentlemen, representative of town and country were selected; three of whom have signified tbeir willingness to sjtand, and ib is expected that the other two Will also consent to nomination.

Suratura Tea is not blended with China; it is packed where grown. « AN ELECTOR "—Very good suggestion. The Conference of Premiera at Hobart Bhould be supplied with Suratura Tea.

This is correct in many cases, but when its sale is increaaed by tena of thousands of pounds weight in a year, it is the strongest public confirma tion of everything that has been said in' the advertisements. That is the posi tion of Suratura Tea. "TEA DRINKER."—AII good housewives pride themselves on being able to give their families and friends a good cup of tea. Ail can do this, if they use Sura tura. '• DYSPEPTIC."—Your complaint is a very common one. Indigestion is frequently caused by the use of liquids that will not assimilate with the food you eat. The result is an internal conflict which the medical faculty call Dyspepsia. In most cases the cure is so simple that it does not commend itself to the sufferer. Tea brewed from the pure leaf of Sura tura will banish your complaint. "ENQUIRER ."—Saratura Tea contains no foreign matter. Its purity is undoubted, its atrength unequalled, it is always fresh. No large stocks are kept, there fore its economy is established by reason of its freedom from handling with con sequent loss of strength and flavour. J. OKK & CU, Agonti,
