Pbice : One Penny

The New Postage Stamp.

The new penny post-go stamp was on sale at all post offices throughout the United Kingdom on New Year's Day, and letters with bhera attached were received in New Zealand by the last Frisco Mail, The oolour Is red like the old penny stamp in use from 1841 to 1880, and with it will be issued new stamps of the values of halfpenny (green), twopence halfpenny (blue), and sixpence (mauve); other new stamps, to make up the usual set, will be issued later. The new colours have been arranged so as to correspond with those of the stamps of equivalent value issued by the United States and most Continent*! countries, The halfpenny stamps are issued at the rate of 1,300,000,000 a year, and the one penny stamps at the rate of 2,100.000,000 a year. The issue ef twopence halfpenny and sixpenny stamps is about the same- 60.000,000 of each.

Unusual precautions have been taken to prevent premature use of these new stamps. Inland Revenue officers have had constant supervision over the printing establish ment, and when the first consignment of prluted sheets were transferred to the Controller of Stamps ab Somerset House vigilant guards accompanied the shipment to prevenb mishaps. The new stamps are regarded as an 'artistic success' by officers of tbe Government who have to do with this branch of tbe postal service.

Itchiness of the Skin.

Ever have any initttion of the skin, There are many forms of it, any of them bad enough to tax your patience* Hemorrhoid a p (ague of the night, no rest for tho sufferer from this complaint. Eczema, too ; hives don't sound danger ous but thoy cause much misery to those unfortunate enough to be troubled with them. Bonn's Ointment is a 'wonder' for any such trouble. No troublesome irritation oftheekiu can resist its sooth ing, healing influence. Lots ©f Ashbur ton people know this,

Mrs Good, Cox street, this town, etys: Doin's Ointment is ro»l!y very good; I chi recommend this prepara tion, having used it as a household remedy It lias proved splendid for pimples and rashes, and also io the case of nettle raßh. I Bud that it is surpris ingly soothing and allays irritation of the skin very quickly. I got this remedy at the Ashburton Drug Go's in East Street.

Doan's Ointment is splendid in all diseases o! the skin. Eczema, piles, bivees, insect bites, sores, chilblains, etc* It is perfectly safe and very effective, Doan's Ointment is sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per box (six boxes 16s 6d) or will be posted on receipt of price by the pro prietors, Foster McOlennan 00, 76 Pitt St., Sydney, N, S.
