I T HB j USTIOE op OUR CAUSE." I Responding to a request) Field-Marshal Lord Roberts sent to the American and ; Canadian people the following stirring message, which is nob without interest to New Zealanders:—"Circumstances," Lord Roberts said, " naturally forbid my speaking about, the campaign ahead of me, except to Bay that I have entire confidence in the British soldier, and that; I believe the tra ditions of oar army will be upheld in South Africa. For the friendly interest and sym pathy exhibited by many Americana I am most deeply grateful. I feel sure that the justice of our cause merits this. Though we be at war, I can safely say that no unneces sary harshness and no acts of inhumanity will mar the fair name of this branch of the Ang'r-Saxon race. I cannot too warmly ex pr«?Bs my admiration of the spirit which pre vails in our colonies. The aotion of Canada will always be a glorious page in the history of the sons of the Empire. I look for great things from the men she has sent and is sending to the front. Reports which indi cate that disloyalty exists among Irish regi me v t are i b olutely untrue. In the hour of j danger my countrymen have ever been among the first to lay down their lives for their^ Queen and oountry, and, whether it be against Boer or any oth%r nationality, the Irish co'dier will be foand loyal to his Q aeen and b aye in battle." Abondanob of Feed.-—As showing the abnormal abundance of feed in some parts of Mauawatn during the present season, it may be mentioned that an advertiser in a Palmeraton paper offers " free grazing for ar,y quantity of cattle." A Handsome Dohation—-Mr Fraser, o Waitohi, near I'eoiuka, whose son ie a mem" b<?r of the first New Zealand Contingent, i made a pr s nb of a valuable entire hnrse, t:> I the War Committee at Tcmuka, to be dis posed of as they think beat.

Your nervousness disappears and your great unrest passes away. \ Of course you know this is so, for you have heard all about Ayer's Sarsa parilla, Ask your doctor if it isn't the best Sarsaparilla in the world.
