The New Hebrides

DEPUTATION TO AIR BARTON

United Preen Association—B? Eleotrlo Telegraph-—Copyright) Sydney, March 16

A deputation from the Chamber of Commerce waited on Mr Barton to ask a consideration for Australian trade in the New Hebride*. Thef referred to the dangerous competition of the French in Hew Caledonia, and pressed for the appointment of a Bri tish Resident, and asked for better facilities for the employment of native labour. Mr Barton, in reply, said he expected that a Resident would be appointed immediately. He did noli favour a Customs agreement with the New Hebrides, but was anxious to increase British influence there by all legitimate meane.

PRESS COMMENT

March 17

The Herald, commenting on the deputation which waited on Mr Barton with reference to the New Hebrides, says it is the destiny of the Common wealth to be the predominating infla ence under the Crown in these seas in carrying oat British intereets. This will be found the surest way o! remov ing anomalies which harden our trade with those islands,

The Daily Telegraph says that if the New Hebrides trade goes on concen trating on New Caledonia, the conse quence to Australia of an exclusive tariff may be that the French will bniid np such large interests there as to entitle them to political control on the principle of fair representation, which we went to war to enforce ia South Africa. In case of the other island communities, such as Fiji, the effect of the tariff baa been to divert trade from Australia, where it should naturally come, to New Zealand. What Aus tralia potentially has to meet is the tooting of French interests and control on the one hand, and New Zealand influence and trade command on the other. Great possibilities have been lost, and it can only be said now that the best is bad.

J H RICHARDSON, Government Insurance Oomtniasioner* A BROKEN TUMBLER AND ITS CONSEQUENCES: I'-ai Nai, Lower Hubb, September 3, 1901 DEAR Sir, —Possibly the short acoonnfe contained in this latter, in reference to the nse of PLANTEKOA OINTMENT, may be of interest to yoo. We bad just removed from Blackbridge to the Wai L\ rai when my daughter Ethel had the misfortune to stop on a broken tumbler, making a fearful gash, catting into the ball of tho foot and laying open the big toe in two halves. We had it attended to, but it seemed to ba getting worse, when, about five daya after tha acaident, we were advised to use PLAJN •TEKOA OINTMENT, being assured that PLANTEKOA wonld soon heal it. At this time ib was very bad, the foob swollen and hard, and the wound had an angry fiery appearance, and looked as if blood poisoning was setting in. However, wa faithfully applied Plantekoa Ointment, and without going into details, snffloe to say that in a short time the foot was healed, she waa able to put her boots on and attend school again. I wonld also like to state that I used Plantekoa Ointment for my son, who had a gathering or abscess in the kaR, He was home from work for some time with ib and was in a bad staba. The discharge from the ear was of suoh a character that 1b would set up irritation on the side of the face, and the pain was very severe. In this oaas PJantekoa Ointment was success fully applied, and in a few days my son returned work. I cannot recommend Plantekoa Ointment too highly. Yours sincerely, Mks Jantc Swan. This wonderful ointment ought to be in every home, not only to be there in case of accident or emergency, bufc for everyday purposes, its uses are legion. It is sold by all the leading storekeepers and chemists aO 2s per large box, or sample boxes for sixpence, while to meeb the demand for thi3 ointment from farmers and others, for uae with horses and cattle, ib has been placed on the market in half pound tJns at 4s 6d.

HP HE following unsolicited Testimonial J. bf a gentleman well known la Ashbarton speaks for itself:— Masterton, August 28,1901. Ross Antidote Company. Dear Sirs,—l feel ib my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favor of Ross Antidote for purifying tfce blood; I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated- stomach, indigestion, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I waa almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had triei almost every known one bub youra, and oae day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked 'Jack, yon look very ill' (and yon may depend I was), He added,' Will you take some medicine if I procure it ; I replied I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took ifc accordingly as directed, and to ray delight I began to get well, and after taking three large botbleo I was a new man—thanks to your great discovery. I aiwaya keep ib by me, and find a few doses occasionally koep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with ib bhat such a medicine merits. Yon can make what use you like of this. —I remain yours, etc, J H Pauling, Masterton May be obtained from Messrs Fletchbe Baos and Sheaebian Bros, Ashburbon j 983 ST
