Was:toi xe-leti?but.in' tll^ase of;some;;of :fhe originalblocks, as.his in^formation went, very of the .sec-tions were suitable for^ibdivison.

made;out a igood case,certainly arcase that;appeals to me," Mr .Massey:went on:to say that he:had been looking intothe matterof grazing runs,andbe haddiscovered that by the, Act of 1907 theTight of the holders to convert into:lease-in-perpetuity was taken away,y;The provision was,a-greed:to by a tired1

House* which' was under the impress-^;ion that the change-proposed was ne--cessary for the 'working of the Land

the Grown Law officers|f6r a report ori|ihe_subject of what.Wig^done andwhaYwas intended 4)y past Acts, and onthe position'as rt whole.. If an injust-ice had been done, an opportunitywould be taken in the Land Billwhichwould be introduced during the sess-.ion to put the matter right, and to putholders of small grazing runs in theposition they were*, intended to occupyby previous legislation. uJfs

" he-iconcluded, "there;is one class. dn thecommunity which is entitled to sym-pathetic consideration from the Gov-ernment, and will receive it,litis thosepioneer settlers who have broken inthe new country."

SCULLING.To-days. cables suggest that the

English critics are placing rather.tOQmuch relianceon the-op;inionsof thosewho scull in practice with the cham-pion.- Seeing that they have beenonlytoo readytodivulgetheiropinionsto the newspapers it. is hardly, likelythat they ,have the conlidence ofArnst's camp. Most probably theyhave oaly been made use of as pace-makers, Arnst reserving his realtrials, if lie has thought it.necessaryto' make any, to race with. Phelps,who is himself a good sculler, andothers, intimately connected with lwsoperations. With regard to the state-,ment that .'Arrist is over-tnadned it isinteresting to note that in nearly allhis,raices he has put in a treniendbtis

amount of work dn the last week. Infact inhis last race with Saary on theZambesi he worked so very Tiard that

i-towards the end of his traininghe hadto let up in order to regainhis weight.

In that race"he rowed at'l3st 7ib, sothat he is at right down to hisracing weight.

' Against Whelch atAldaToa he avowed at-13«.3| Tb. ,InSouth Africa.Barry weighed list 91bon' the day of- the rate. As ihis high-est weight in ,conditio:i ,is list' lllbarid his lowest list 6tb, Ke; too, is'down to his rowing- weig-ht. It isgenerally agreed that Barry gaveArnst 'a .very,hard race on the Zam-besi .when the conditions:of wind andwaterwere all in'favour' of the heavierman,

WARDEN'S COURT,REEFTON.

The:Warden. J. G.L. Hewitt dealtwith the folowing cases on Thursday,25th:—

Laura Rachel Ziman, special quartzclaim.— -Granted. *

:Three applications for protection by

the iCc^isolidated Mines Coy. were re-fused.

Mr.Lawry appearedfor the company,and Mr J. Patterson, objected on be-half of the Miners',Union, arguingthat the conditions were useless. *

.i'ihe Warden pointed out that theditions imposed were brought bythe company's solicitor. and, whohelped in the framing o them. Inany case no objection was made at

the time, ahd;as the company,eyadeugivng evidence both parties acceptedthe conditions. %Jf ;hc. conditions arenot effective or bad jou can disie-gard them or appeal fo the superior

Court. TKe re-hearing directly attack-ed the Judge's decision, which couuonly be obtained by supplying someevidence not previously bctdc theCourt. To go back on the conditionsimposed or to grant rehearing was animproper practice. Application couldbe.- made t§ the Supreme Court or thecase could b\ heard by prohibitionand so have -the original judgmentsquashed.- 'ihere was no reason whyhe should review his own judgment./Mr Lawry stated the protection

granted expired to-day.-Warden.— It is your own fault. The

proper course was to appeal.Air iaury asked for stay of proceed-1

ings, ""'Warden.— Icanot grant it, no evid-

ence was taken at the oiiginal hearingat the instance of Mr Kannan. Judg-ment was1 by consent. Mr Sargentwanted evidence, Mr Jianan did not."'Mr Laury stated thathe was prepar-ed to prove that the union preventedmen coming to the mines.

The application for repealing was toexpediatematters and so save delay.

The Warden.— The other side,'couloalso ask for a re-hearing and no *

would be got. , The Supreme Court isthe proper place. Ido not mind myjudgment being leviwed, but Ican-not allow a re-hearing. Costs allow-ed the Union £2s 2s. ;

; poisoned. ...:"A large number of lamentabledeaths*

occur annually from poison taken eitherdeliberately,or

-accidentally, 'mere are

very many kinds of poisons,'and someof tbe most.inimical are constantly "being manufactured within our bodies.-It is asnecessary to life that the tifisuesof the body should waste away as it isthat they should he continuously re-newed by an adequate supply of food.,air, and water. Th© waste matter lformed \rithinus muet be removed fromthe body as fast as it is formed or we jmust suffer from * ill-health— or self-poisoning—

caused by its retention inthe system. Mpst of the common illsfrom which we 'suffer, such as rheuma-tism, gout, -neuralgia,' .lumbago, back-

"ache, sciatica, blooddisordersj anaemia,indigestion, biliousness, jaundicei sick-headache, generaldebility, gravel,stoneand bladder troubles, are' duo to thedetention of uric and biliary waste 'poisons which would ,be removed,through the natural channels, if thekidueys and liver were acting efficient-ly. It is therefore requisite, if we suf-fer from any of the ailmentsmentioned,that the kidneys 'and liver,be restoredfco health and.activity. The reason thatWarner's Safe Cur© has been.so suc-cessfully employed in the cure of allthese ailments is that the medicine actsspecifically upon the kidneys and liver,exercising"a restorative and stimulatinginfluence upon those vital organs, thusensuring the expulsion from the bodyof the uric and biliary poisons, the pre-sence of which is the cause of the suf-

{ faring.. The action «f Warner's Safe,Cure is described in detail in a treatisewhich will besent, post free, to anyoneon application to H. H. Warnor andCo., Limited, Australasian Branch,Melbourne". Warner's Safe Cure is soldby chemists- and- storekeepers" every-where, both in the- original os bottlesand in tho cheaper (2s fid) "Concen-trated," non-alcoholic form'; each' con-taining the; same number of doses.

HOW RHEUMO CORED MR.; GILLESPIE. .A hosf of witnesses sino- the prafses

of RHEU,M"O. The soiccess of tfhfswonderful remedy is due to the fact,that it .attacks and at once expels thereal cause,of Gout,Rheumatism, Scia-tica, or IJumbaffOr^-excess uric acid,in. rhe blood. Mr.' Andrew Gillespieof Welling-toh. is so well known tnrq-ug-hoxit New Zealand that"his experi-ence willinterest 'many. He writes:

—"Whilst suffering-^ frpm a severe

attack .of Rheumatic Gout, a friendbroug-ht me abottleofRHEUMO. Its.ieffect was certain; th« pain left; theswelHno-. went down, and the secondbottle completed 4she cure.. My wifealso had a severe'attack -̂.and-one 'bot-tle effected the cure. After' takingthree bottles, & friend who had beensuffering" from Rheumati- Gout for"tlhree years, and whose case was con;-;si'dered hopeless, received almost im-mediate-relief from pain and was able'to leave her bed. When Iihear ofanyone suffering1 from Rheumatic.Gout,1always recoimmend RHEUMO.There are many suffering: who would:g-et p'fompt relief if they only triedRHEUMO." „

.One"' of the most encouraging" and ad-;yiainced step's 'towards,.reform' that ha.s ]t^k^n.place in .the Old World is-ertiT;.Bodied in..the.annpuncerneiit that the;Asqiiith Goyernraent are considering-l\o\vt;much of -.AJIr.LI.O3-d- George's lan3policy it willbe safe to adopt. No ohewould " exiDect7- that"either" Mr LloydGeorge, or the Government of whichhe■,■: is so "distinguished a member,;\Voul'd\ dream 6f^ aslcinir the' British.Parliament /to carry out ia. staxtlingr

reyolutiojQ 'atloiice^;as the .en-forcement; of; the 3mg"ile-tax," The Rt.sJon. A. Uresiiys.that.neitherxiiember "of'the Government 'rior:any,

■"practical .Liberal' is ■■I,aL':,§iag-lertaxer-

That:may ;bjj/B^it it is fair to assumcthat tlie.Liberal Party and the Gbv-'klikje vwou^ld n"o|;-v be averseto:any,."]and'policythat^coiildbe shoSy'iit9'be to the of

'

the'people

and the State. It is for Mr LloydGeorg;e to ffive proof to his colleaguesthat his policy will dp this, and ofwhich he should be able to give abun-dant' proof. .Because:absolute perfec-tion in social 'economy, or inany opherdirection.in which the human mindmay spar is impossible, that is noreason w jay men'should relax their ef-forts to adyance and- improve the con-ditions of life of the community. Itis the result of experience'that whole-saleland sjidden■ revolutions arc dis-trusted. It is more in accordance withthe g-enius of our race to go a stepat a' time. Mr George's'first Budgetwas denounced by the landlords, butnot by ,the landless. As that relievedsome of the-burdens of the people,itseems- evident that Mr George con-templates a further, step forward in1

the same direction.. Whether he ds aSingle:taxer or not is riot.a matter pfany great consequehece. If is quiteapparent that herat least has realised— -if 'lhis':colleagues have not to thesamp extent—that the land questionlie.s at' the root 'of the economic trou-bles of.all civilised countries; and theseems tcrha've takenup.the self-impos-ed mission of educating- the people'ofBritain on this great political fact.Even;if this should give rise to Cabi-riet there is nothing inthat. Tt is onlynatural that the mem-bers'-of- a Cabinet brought up in a.certain environment would find somediffi;culty in accepting an idea.in.po-litical that runs counter to"air* tlieir preconceived ideas. Butmen -live and learn. While

'the ideal

of the thoroughgoing'Single-taxermaybe Impossible at present, there is nofeaso'n whyahighandtrue ideal shouldnbt" be worked up to. Not 'long. agQwe came across an article in the Lyt-telton'Times)on Single-tax, some ofwhich' 'comes in very pertinently inyie\y" of the crusade of land:reformthat is being initiated by Mr LloydGeorge. In the (first place, the writersays':';r-"I:

'take it that no one will

dispute the contention that each "anfdividual 'has, as his birth-right, ariequal'right to the'land"; as compared.with every other individualpfthecom-munity. This to' me 'is axiomatic-This being so and seeing that it wouldbe/ botla 'impossible and' undesirable"thajt" everyone 'should hold of use anequal area, or an equal value of land,it becomes necessary in; common jus-tice to devise a scheme-whereby therights of every member of the com-munity shall be conserved! Ten"menmay have equal right's"inji farm or ahouse but

"though only one of .themoccupies the ho'ii'se" or cultivates thefarm, it is' yet'possible to safeguardthe interests of the whole number bythe apportionment of tKe rent." Whe-ther the s'yste'rn of the Single-tax isthe best to effect the' object' in view,:

if cannot be gainsaid that it is"thepresence of humanbeings on the landjand their 'labour"and genius that giveslandits specially high value whereverpeople flock and settle down. That is"the primal" fact that all should havebefore them when considering the re-lationsbetweenthepeopleand the landof*.their country.. It is always the pre-sence and the activities of a peoplethat enhance the value of "land. Arethe people Avho create that value en-titled to any share of it? AccordingIto the most"rudimentary ideas of jus-tiye they are.

'Do they receive, any

of those benefits' thaf they 'are admit-tedly entitled to? They do"not. vitall goes to the landrord— that is, ac-cording to the present''basis of so-ciety, the landlords of the world re-,

ccive all the benefit;of the labour andgenius of the community who own noland;.and they are also in this posi-tipji: the more valuable they make thehand the higher the rent they' mustpay.■"tp';'tlie iandlord. Can anyone saythat such a social system is fair -to

.the vast working mass of the commu-nity^ \yho seldom -have? -any more to

"boast of posssessing. than a wilHng-ness and"pplyer to work. The peopletoil though life increasing the valueof land, for the benefit ;of'private per-sons. The labour and intelligence of

xthc"workers go to eniicH the1 owners?of a class of property that shouldnever be other than publicly owned.When their 'time''ot toil' is'over they\can sink anto ."a pauper's grave forall that the weaUhy landlords ■care:;(\'e sKali mejely make, another' quo-tation' from thY article already refer-'

yred to. It- is as follows:-r- .'

Rather quaint par in a Hawke'sBay paper shows that a gentlemancharged with resisting the po-

lice and using obscene languag-e andso on. A constable found him, lyingan the road and essa}red to move"himon. Alleged that he arose andput upquite an excellent struggle; and thetwo rolledin the mud. There's noth-ingunusual'about this, of course.Hereis the point: "The Bench adjournedthe case to give the mana chance toget someone togivehim a character."Presumably, if he could obtaina char-acter it couldbe proved that he was ly-ingin the iiiud for fun, that his "lan-guage" was merely a repetition oftheAthanasian creed, arid that his rollin the mud with a policeman wasmerely by way of showing- his respec-tability.

Fisher isMaorilahd's young-man-in-a-hurry. He was a politicalnu-pil of the late" "Tommy"Taylor, who,anhis time,' was Maoriland's most er-ratic politician. With Taylor, Fisherpitted himself frequently againstRichard Seddon, mostly to the unholyjoy of that old war horse. Fisher is35 3^ears of age. ■' His strong point istennis.

The waggoncontainedavariedassortmentof goods,including 81b of sugar and severalpar-cels of draperyr from various cityi.em-poriums. The driver was not away formore than five minutes, but onhis re-turn the vehicle and its contents haddisappeared.. There were. two horsesin the van. and as no one had seenthembolt the driver at once concludedthat his waggonhad been stolen.

(Per Press Association 1

(Reed 5.0 p.m.)LOND.ON, July

The Times, des^nbiftg the remark-abile situation in contrasts theposition with the Young Turks' succ-esses in 1908.

To-day not only the /Bulgarians,Greeks and Christians', but the Aliban--ians, are bitterlyhostile to the ongan-isers of the 1906 revolution, or ratherthe"coterie whichissued therefrom.

The army has also turned agairis-tthem] - .'"'■■

The days bf this all-powerfulcaucusare apparentlynumbered. . .

Broadly speaking, the situation is.due to Turkey being unripe for the ap-plication of constitutional principlesand the discovery that a (realisationof the programme would be a completereversal of the positions, .placing;th*cTurk at the mercy of their more num-erous and progressive Christian -fel-'lou/counfrymen. ,, CONSTiANTINOPLE, July 28. jThe conflict between the Young

Turks and the Military League is as-suming a-'dangerous form, j

The Committee of Union and-Pro-gress will not oppose the Governmentif the committee's programme is res-pected,but they will determinedly op-pose a;dissolution. \.

It is believed that the xiltimatum tothe Chamber was a ruse to discredit acertain section of the:army.

FLIGHT FOR LIFEJGHTfORUK

A DRAMATIC STORY.

(By Electric Telegraph—Copyrigntj

. (Per Piess Association.)

WASHINGTON, July^, 28. "

A dramatic story is toldof a stormin Dunbar, in West Virginia.

The town clerk, workingin the quar-ries two miles distant, was warned bytelephone that a great flood was com-ing, the dam containing the town'swater supply having burst.

The clerk telephoned to a friend inDunbar to warn everybody and thelatter rushed through the streets call-ing on the residents to flee for theirlives.

Instantly the people,numberingsev-eral thousands, fled to the hills, escap-ing in the nick of time.

The water submerged streets, anddfd much damage to buildings,but nolives were lost. The railway bridgewas carried off and the telephone isdown. ' *If the warning had.not been given,

hundreds, it is certain," would'haveperished.

YORKSHIREMINE TRAGEDY.LONDON, July 12.

The most remarkablefeature of the:disaster at the -Cadeby ;Colliery in'Conisbrough, Yorkshire,is that the fa-,talitiirs were more' numerouci amongthe rescue parties thaa among themen who were in the mine at the time.'of tTie iirst explosion.

Of those who took part in the res-cue operationsnearly 50 forfeited theirlives.

Sixty nine bodies have beenbroughtto the surface, but it is feared thatfurther -.search will result in the dis-covery.'of several more victims.; The. fact that Tuoiday ■ was a holi-day aI" Conisbrough -in honour of theKing's visit had the c-lTect of great-ly minimising the disaster, for- con-siderably fewer workerqs were in themine- Instead of the.136 men ordin-arily employed in that part of thepit where the explosionoccurred only32 wcieat work.

LATER.. There was'another explosion in theCadeby pit this morning, making thefifth that has occurr 3d since tlie ori-ginalexplosion. .-;...

Although severalmore rescuers havebeen overcome and brought out of the"mine unconscious,- ' none' has suc-cumbed.

The succession of blasts in the pit ismaking the task of searching for thebodies almost suicidal.

SHUT IN A SAFE.BOY'S PERILOUS POSITION

INASTATE OFCOLLAPSE

AUCKLAND, July; 23.New tba;t a boy was shut up inside

a safe iv, Her Majesty's Arcade.to-night,soon. dtew a crowd to the vicin-ity, and caused some excitement andnot a little alarm.

.Some boys weresky-larking rounda:safe. which^had been left by.;a tenantof "the-)'.buildings in.the passage-way,"preparatory to being: installed in hisoffice. Gheof the lads got into thesafe, whereupon some of his compan-ions: slammed the.door upon. him.

■/To their consternation they wereun-able tQ. {open it again, The handle ofthe'""'■"door was broken, and they hadno means' 6f releasing, their imprison-ed.companion. . .

Appeajiayas made to a bystander, Aconstable,was fetched, and efforts weremade >v.itli- the aid of as crew-driver, achiser'and hammer to prise the door,open. '''■ ' ' [These amateur attempts at safe-break

"Ing were watched ;by ;an ever-increas-ing crowd for three-quarters of anhour, and as the minutes passed manyanxious expressions were heard as to'the safety of the captive boy.

'

■Eventually,".;■ after locksmiths hadbeen sought and burglars' tools de-sired in vain, the caretaker of thetheatre arrived on the scene, and withthe aid of a cold chisel- managed' toturn the handle of the safe dobr3:and'pulling it open released the juvenile,prisoner. The latter was covered withperspirationand inan evident,state ofpartial-collapse. ...

His reapparance washailed.with 'de-light by his companions, who borehimoff:ia"triumphlafter whathadbeena most unenviable experience. :

THE BALANCE DANCE OFRENT AND WAGES.

There is a like movement all theworld-over- in the play "between rentand wages. Whenever .rents igo up,wages come.down; and whereverrentsgo down wages go up. It frequentlyoccurs ip. a frontier district; \yhererents have not yet been-adjusted thatwagesare found to beuveryhigh, whileit is the history of the world that themore firmly fixed is the. power of therent lord the" lower are the wages.- There was a.time inCalifornia whencooks,,barbers and others in like em-ployments we're able to commandandget £S a week for their services, be-;cause irthesewages werenotpaidtheycould earn that amount at working,■on their own account ixy the gravels|which no landlord then been able to"corner, and which were. open .terri-tory for any who wished to use them.

Some of these same lands-are nowamong the most; fruitful places in theworld. The orchards Which are grow-ing from the very soil and gravel-bedswhere the miners of '49 were able tosecure so high a leturn, fpr their self-employed labour, that wages mustneds be very high or wage labour.:.be-cameimpossible— this same soilis nowturning out a larger return from or-chards and vineyards, and .is worthmore for that purpose than ever it wasworth in the palmiest days of-thePlacer Diggings.

But in the days of the Placer Dig-ings land titles had not yet been es-tablished; the landlord's "rake-off"was" impossible, and just because theearnings uf labour could not be ap-

.propriated simply in consideration, ofobtainingpermission toiabour,- labouritself was able to secure either in,wages or in its own products" the total value of dts own labour.

But now the landlord,has been onthe ground "10, these many years."The worker- ha become the "Blan-ket man" (which is the;American tterrmr

I, for the New Zealand swagger), andhiswages as (Limited m volume and as un-certain in. theircoming as his oppor-tunity is scant in the presence of themonopolised fertility of soil. Whenthere were no rents there were high.wages. Now there are exorbitantrents, the wages are correspondinglylow.

Of the men who emplbyed labour inthe. mining camp and the man ...whoemploys labour.npW) the mining-campemployer■ was the-:better,rewarded "ofthe two. He paid enormous wages;but he paid no rent.

'The man whoto-day pays theWages must pay suchenormous sums for other purposes to.,those .who render no service "that theprofits of, the enterp'risfe .are so,absorb-ed that only the fragments of^wh'al h<totherwise.anight possess'?are left eitherfor the employer in profits or- for the.employee.in wages. .' ..','.' ■'. '

It is by. this -.process' and. for thisreason that tbe most fertile lands ofall the earth are everywhere cultivat-ed by the toil of those' most poorlypaid. It' is for this- reason;that theagricultural

-.of Greaj;v Bri-tain arenot only themost,poorly paid,?;but -the'most poorly "educated,sniostlimitedin their lives', and in"every;:way!the .most.

'thelpless of. ail. the British;

workers:■" It is-'for this-reason: that..vai-:ready-in New Zealand the mostpitilul-icases of child labour onjthe very land itself,an.instrumeiit.' of;the most.fpr -man, but whgre riianhim-self has- become the<victim.of: a land '<system, which'has; intervened 'between":'the ..gitfts1..of natur.e and; the.users of:the"soil in such a way as to make:the very landitself;an instrument of'extortlonr ,".''■'' .I:-;' -,:: \

And the way out.:';;ds; easijiy stated.:The nation itself-. must>eb&. the..only Vlandlord. The-user of« the land must;have for himself ;the'total-product of;his industry; but.'.if. that,industry i^s;made especiallyproductivebecause,the!worker enjoys.some special advantagedwhich others cannot .enjoy, then pay-'.ment must.;be made, hot by one citi-"zen to another, but by each.such per-,son A\ho enjoys any such Especial'ad-vantage to the collective' account of;the whole'cbrnmitiiityr.That willmake:air end of the;private appropriatiphofground rents,;and it'will make an endof this balance dance betwee rent;

DR. BARNARDO'S HOMESIn the.June isue of -Night and Day

Dr 'Barnardo's Homes.; have " a long-and varied tale to tell: of busy andsuccessfxil rescue work among- the chil-dren., They . report 9,200 boys andgirls under their care, and the page'sof this, magazine abundantly illus-trate both by pen and camerahow/they.carry on their task. The ilife storiesher.c. set . out amply prove the needfor th^e Homes., Here is tfifteen-year-old Marshal,. who -had- wandered allEngland and could neither read norwrite. Her are two pretty little g"ir;ls,dazed, terrified andhalf-starved by aninhuman father. Here is,a twelve-month-old baby ,one. of four youngchildren whpse father ,was earningonly ten'shillings a'week. And therearc many others.

- One; of the Homesboys went down at the post, duty,1 welearn, on the Titanic. Professor He-wins sticks up manfully in a breezyspeech'for the excellence of the Bri-tish boy' and girl. "\Vhen people tellyou that the German boy or girl aspotentially so much better than ■ theEnglish>-boy or girls, it is not true.'.'-^-lt appears that out of 24,000 emi-grants from the Homes, chiefly toCanada, barely one"in a hundred hasfailed. A party .of 300 children sailin 'the-first week in June for the Do-minion, following an equal numberin March.— Tihe new development ofthe Homes, the Boys' Garden City atWoodford Bridge, was opened byH..R.H. the Duchess of Albany on 23idMay. Great results are expected fromit, and already to its 300.young in-habitants it has proved its value..

—'1he "dead season," whenholidayscutdown the receipts of charities, is justabout to begin,. and an earnest ap-peal is made for enlarged support. Acopy of this issue willbe posted to anyaddress on applicationat18 to 26, Stepney 'Causeway, London, E..

STRIKES CONDEMNED.Mr Phillip Snowden, aLabour mem-

ber of the House of Commons, in com-menting,on strikes ,says:— "The fu-tility of the strike as a means of rea-lising tin? higher aims^ of labour hasnot yet be'en brought home to al]the working- clases by recent events.We shal Iprobably have a.continuanceof strikes for some time longer. Buttup. miners' strike, should have con-vinced every workman with a capa-chy to observeand.think that there isa reserve power in the communitywhichmakes it"abs'oltitc folly to. thinkthat a .general strike can ever takethe place of political action. Theindustrial organisation of the work-ers is essential. The stronger it is,the better able it is to gain conces-sions without a strike, but. there wiljl

;still be occasions when .a strike canbe successfully waged, but strike vie-

!Tories without the help of the State,will never be.more than a small per-

centage added to wages which willhaveto be held against constant attacksfrom the employer. There is no realroad to the social millenium. Neitheiby a general' strike or by any otheisudden device is the economiccause ollabour unrest going to

'be removed.

Politicalactionis said to be in bad.fa-vour among workmen at the present

■ time. But 'A is only by political ac-tion that the workers will be cver.able to. alter *he economic systesvwhich keeps tirexo poor.'1
