Jones , Mr. W. R. Stafford , Mr. W. Evans , with the Clerk ( Mr. H. Gosling ) , with the Deputy Clerk ments . ( Mr. A. H. Gibson ) . The Caxton and Harrington Board of Guar- dians forwarded a resolution to the effect that in the interests of public health and humanity the Association of Poor Law Unions be asked to approach the Government with the object of urging them to cancel existing legislation which rendered a medical man liable to an action for libet if in the case of a patient suffering from vencral disease he warned res- ponsible members of the family of the nature of the disease . The Board were asked to sup- port this resolution . It was unanimously decided to adopt the resolution . THE TREASURER . A letter was read from Mr. H. R. Harding ; manager of Lloyds Bank , Leominster , asking that his name should be submitted as succes- sor to Mr. J. A. Daggs as Treasurer to the Leominster Union . The Chairman afterwards moved the ap pointment of Mr. Harding in place of Mr. J. A. Daggs on the same terms and conditions . In proposing Mr. Harding he said there was not the slightest doubt that he would carry out the duties to the satisfaction of all . At the last meeting they passed a vote of thanks to Mr. Daggs and that had been sent to him . He only hoped that Mr. Harding would re- main there many years and carry out the duties in the same able manner as Mr. Daggs had in the past , and he had not the slighest doubt that he would Mr. Bazley seconded and the appointment of Mr. Harding was unanimously agreed to . REGISTRAR'S SERVICE . The Clerk reported that the Local Govern- ment Board agreed to the proposal of the Guardians to add six years to the period of Miss Mary Mason's service as Registrar for the Kingsland Sub - District for the purpose of superannuation . OUT - RELIEF . FINANCE It is to your advantage to place your orders for clothes- well ahead of your require- 3 REASONS . I. Prices are advancing rapidly , not only of Cloth but of Linings and the many sundries used in the making of Clothes . II . Owing to the high prices and manufacturers scarcity of pure Botany Wool Yarns , are adulterating their products with lower grade wools and mixtures therefore new goods although more expensive are inferior . III . Labour being scarce makes it difficult to cope with orders in the busy season so promptly as usual , obviously , early . orders secure best attention . False Economy It will be to your disadvantage to put off the ordering of your Clothing necessi ties with the idea of their being cheaper . Experts estimate that woollen goods will continue to rise in price , owing to the shortage of wool , caused by the immense quantities required to clothe the Allied Armies ( Russia placed , ONE order for 19 million yards of cloth ) . They will not be any cheaper for 3 to 4 years after Government work , of peace is declared . Half the mills are on the remainder labour , and woollens for export are given priority to those for home use .
