At Smithfield, prime New Zealand, which makes a better price than any other frczu mutton s is now selling at 2s 3d to 2s 7d a stone of Blbs, in comparison with Scotch and English at 4; M to 4i Bd. s( In face of tbeee facts, it itt cer tainly *b»urd for any one to pay the price of English mutton for frozen, " I'fc ought to be perfectly easy for inspectors, appointed ly the iioyal Agricultural Society or any other we)! recognised body, to secure evidence of the tale of frozen meat as English, and proceed under the Merchandise- Marks Act. The result of such pro secutions would be beneficial all round. English farmers woald get a better price for their own home-grown pro duce, and the honest sellers of Now Zealand meat woulu be greatly en cosraged;" ARE THERE NO INSPECTORS j 00 the question of prosecuting the people who dishonestly eel! frozen meat as Britisi?, a correspondent writes : — "Sorely if the New Zealand Govern ment can take proceedings and obtain convictions under the Merchandise Mirki Act in this country without the assistance of the agricultural societies in procuring evidence, it is ebsurd of Ihs English Board of Agriculture to sty that it cannot do likewise "Has the Board no inspectors, as the Hem Zealand Government seems to have In this country, who could institute n few prosecutions on bohalf of the British agriculturists, whose interes s the Board_ia_auppoßedtft*©presenfc 9 "Theß© inspectors could easily obta;» satisfactory evidence of fraudulent saY to ensure convictions being secured if they desired."-— Daily Times. THE GRATITUDE OF AN ASH BURTON CITIZEN HEARTILY EXPRESSED FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD, »—-— ■» ~-■». 1 Gpatitede,* says an old writer, 'is the music of the heart when vb cords are swept by kindness. 1 Many a heart string has been touched In Ashburton nnder )m% snch circumstances as those sarroiudisg the case of Mis Tutty, and masy are they whose gratitude iseo great ttwfr * descrlptiott attempted in words fails, because cold print cannot express feelings. Mra Tatty, who resides in Oxford Street, Hampete^, this town, greatly acknowledges benefit from The ' Little Conqueror' in the following words— • I have nothing but good to cay of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. In the £r«t place I used them myself for a weak and aching back. This trouble was chronic with m», but these pills cured me. I have been spite free of this pain ever since taking their. See ing how they actrd in my case I gave them to my daughter, who ib just four, teen, and who was suffering from aches and pains al! over her, most particular ly about the back. I am pleased to say that they prove most beneficial in her cas&fts well. Friends of mine who complained of pains in the back have also used these pills and they each one say that JDoan's Backache Kidney Pills have cured them of these piina. They seem to suit them all. I got the pllle at the Aehbarton Drug Go's store. Do cot be satisfied with any imita tion of Doan'a Pills. Remember it is JDoan's Backache Kidney Pills which Mrs Tatty recommends, and if you suffer as she and* her friends did you want the same remedy, JDoan's backache kidney pills *ro sold by nil chemists and storekeepers at 3$ per box (six boxes I6s 6d) or will bo posted on receipt of price by the pro prietors, Foster McOlennan Co, 76 Pitt St., Sydney, N. 8.
