Legislative Council; Wellington, July 4. The Council met at 2.30 p.m. The Chemists' Eota of Attendance, Statutes Sepeal, Young Persons Protection, Coroners, and Property Law Amendment Bills were introduced and read the first time. Colonel Pitt resumed the debate on the Address-in-Eeply, and said that now the war was over, he hoped the Government would turn its attention to the develop ment of the resources ©f the Colony, They were told that the revenue showed a large surplus, a large portion of which had been devoted to public works. but if the princi pal public works of tho Colony were to be completed within a reasonable time, a moderate annual borrowing policy would have to be adopted, for the prosecution of the North Island Trunk, and Middle Island and East Coast lines. He was contending these were the most important i of all the railways in the Colony. On the question of defence he urged that a better system of training and arming the volun teers for defence purposes should exist. Hon. George Jones thought in labor legislation circumstances showed there was room for improvement. Referring to the ! Farmers' Union he said he did not expect but that it would have a political colour. He saw no objection to that so long as its demands were just and reasonable. Speak ing on the laud question he expressed the hope that the cry for freehold tenure would not be acceded to, and urged the Government to proceed with the acquisi tion of land for settlement until there was not a large estate left. Hon. Mr Jennings regretted an Jattack had been made on the Arbitration Court, and asserted that ninety-five per cent, of the awards made had been beneficial to labor. The debate was adjourned till Tuesday. The Council rose at 4.20 p.m.

House of Representatives

Wellington, July 4 The House met at 2.30 p.m. Mr Fowldß gave notice to ask the Government what steps they proposed to take to give a reasonably equitable representation to the North Island in the Legislative Council. The Speaker read a cablegram from Mr Chamberlain to the Governor as follows : " Please convey to the House of Eepresen tatives the sincere thanks of His Majesty, the Queen, Prince of Wales, and the Boyal family for the resolution of condolence on the King's illness," Correspondence from the Auditor- General with reference to the auditing of the Imperial payment made on behalf. of the War Office was, after considerable discussion, referred to the Public Accounts Committee. In tho course of the discussion Sir Joseph Ward said the New Zealand Audit Office j could not have undertaken the auditing of ' Imperial accounts, as the difficulties in the | way were too great. With regard to a I statement he had made in a recent speech in the south, to the effect that about two million sterling had been spent by the Im perial authorities in New Zealand in con nection with the South African war, Sir Joseph Ward explained that the great pro portion of that sum had never passed through the hands of the Government. In assessing the figures, he had included expenditure which had not passed through the Government channels.

Further correspondence from the Auditor- General, with reference to the payment of £3:jOO on account of the Coronation Con tingent, was also referred to the Public Accounts Committee.

The following Government Bills were read for the first time : —Cook and other Islands Government Amendment, Un claimed Moneys Act Amendment, Share brokers', Products Export, Referendum, Motor Cars Eegulation, Fisheries Conserva tion Act Amendment, Bank Holidays, Or chard and Garden Pests, Land and Live Stock Auctions, Birds' Nuisance, Stamp Act Amendment, Second-Hand Dealers, State Coal Mines Act Amendment, Mining Act Amendment, Criminal Jurisdiction of Justices, Shipping and Seamen, Shops and Offices, Public Works Act Amendment, In spection of Machinery, Consolidation of Factories Act Amendment, and Eati»g on Unimproved Values.

The following Bills introduced by private members were also read a first time ;— Solicitors' Bill of Casts (Mr Pirani), Christ church Drainage Act Amendment, Christ church. Tramways District (Mr Collins), and Inspectors of Schools (Mr Gilfedder). In reply to questions, Ministers stated that no resolutions had been framed for submission to the House dealing with the carriage of mails from New Zealand to 'Frisco, as it had been tacitly understood last session tfcat $ie whole question of the 'Frisco Mail Contract would be left to the new Parliament ; that shipbuilders in New Zealand would be given an opportunity of tendering for the construction of the new steamer for Lake Wakatipu; that extension of capacity of railway workshops was being carried on gradually throughout the colony; that the question of increasing the capita tion grant to primary schools was under consideration of the Government; that it was hoped to bring down the Financial Statement next week ; that with reference to the Manawatu railway, Government intended to retain all traffic which origi nated on Government, and that no pressure or threats would deter Government from doing what they believed to be right in the interests of the colony ; that the Westing house brake would be fitted on to rolling stock running on the Dunedin section of railways at as early a date as possible. The House rose at 5.30 p.m.

The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. Sir Joseph Ward moved the second read ing of the Government Eailways Super annuation Fund Bill to establish a super annuation fund in connection with the Government Eailway Department. He said it was scarcely necessary for him to say that in a department which now con sisted of some eight thousand employees, it was desirable that a scheme should be adopted on the lines proposed in the Bill. In sketching the scheme provided by the Bill, Sir J. Ward pointed out how the superannuation system had worked in con nection with the London and North-Western Eailway Company, and said the Bill was an honest effort to meet this complex and difficult problem. He quoted extensively from figures to show how the scheme would benefit the employees of the Department, and informed the House that the officers of the Department had reported that the Bill provided a very safe and sound scheme, and one that would prove beneficial to the employees as a whole. He admitted that the three per cent contribution by em ployees was a large one, but he pointed out that the fund must be established on a sound basis. The Bill had been before the railway employees during the recess, and personally he had not received any objec tions whatever to it, although a sliding scale of contribution had been suggested, which he could not agree to. It was pro posed to promote some of the temporary hands in the railway workshops to the permanent staff, and they would conse quently participate in the benefits of the scheme. Many similar superannuation systems had worked out satisfactorily in other parts of the world, and he believed this Bill would prove beneficial to the colony as a whole. As the Bill was an innovation it might be desirable to refer it to a committee of investigation. After the second reading had been carried a long discussion ensued, lasting until 10 p.m., when the House rose.

You certainly don't want to eat if you are not hungry. But you must eat, and you must digest your food, too. If not, you will become weak, pale, thin. Good food, good appetite, good digestion,—these are essential. Mr. Robert Venus, of Launceston, Taß maiiia, sends us his photograph and says: " I suffered greatly from loss of appetite, indigestion, pains in the stomach, weakness, and nervousness. Several doctors tried in vain to give mo relief. A friend then induced me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, for it had done him much good. The first bottle worked wonders for me. Soon my appetite came back, my indigestion was cured, and I was strong and hearty." There are many imitation " Sarsaparillas." Be sure you get Ayer's. Keep your bowels in good condition by using Ayer's i*ills. They cure constipation, coated tongue, biliousness, sick headache. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
