AND DOING !
Don't give in to headaches and "nerves"! Don't let the heat and humidity ruin your health and spoil your happiness. Always keep a bottle of Genasprin handy It's a woman's best friend in the East. For Genasprin, the pure and therefore safe brand of aspirin, is won. derful for relieving all sorts of pain, and giving you and your children desp, restful sleep and for oothing your nerves, Besides, Genasprin leaves no bad after- effects whatever and "retains its power in spite of repeated administration."
"
"Without the slightest risk." A famous Doctor wrote in The Madies Time" What chiefly distinguishes Genssprin from the Aumerous other brands is the fact that, owing to its absolate purity, it can be prescribed much more fredly than those without the slightest risk of toxio symptoms The frequent use of smail doses of Genssprin affords affectivə relist from pain, produces no mpasse or other reaction, does not create a,. habit or omring, retains its power in spite of repeated "administration, onusen no disturbance of digestion and, is not dissolved by the gastric juices but aspelled from the body with considerable speed,'

Short Notice.
So, despite the short notice given to the Corps a matter of a week or two-the inspection went off ex-.1 tremely well and there was little to indicate the lack of rehearsal.
The inspection, apart from ing the first held on the pole ground with a full turn out of troops for over two years, was retable for three other reasons.
That this general meeting of Importers deplores the recent se tion of certain local guilds in endeavouring to enforce levica on the import trade of the Colony and strongly recommends allmer- chants to resist payment wherever possible.
Mr. J. Owen Hughes seconded the resolution. He felt sur-that im porters would fully endorse its terms: in particular they would deplore the action of the Po Yick Guild in presenting its demands. Ho contended that such levies were entirely wrong in principle. The object of these exactions in no way concerned importers, but he, for

Secondly, it was the first time that the Corps had carried two colours ony parade. In addition to the familiar Corps colour, there was carried in addition the lour of the Russion Regiment, presented with great ceremony on the race course exactly a week pre- viously.
Refreshment Tent.
With the experience of another guild before them, it was surpris ing that the Po Vick Guild should make this attempt at placing, the. responsibility of placing their em- ployees on the shoulders of import- ers. In the case he had in mind the movement began a few years ago with a very small commission and it had grown up to no less. than two per cent. of the purchna-

This new feature, proved extremely popular.
Another point is worthy of note. In addition to the number of men on parade being extremely largely being made in some of the Coast aver 1,800-the number of spectators was probably a record."
