Generally at Christmas time they remember me with some little gift—a box of cigars—a book —fishing tackle—all that sort of thing. Well, last Christmas many seemed to centre on tobacco. No, mark you, theso fellows have no communication with each other. They live in widely separate parts of tho country, so it was no 'put-up' •joke on me or anything like that. But here came seventeen boxes of pip© tobacco and sixteen of them were tho familiar blue Xmas Gift tins of Edgeworth! Just coincidence, perhaps but a queer one, that proves the concensus of opinion amongst men says—Edgeworth is the Xmas gift for men." —2 A SMOOTHLY RUNNING HOME. Happy, contented families are invarinhlv well supplied with fruit cordials during summer months. Orange—made with "Price's" Fruit Extract, Orange flavoured—is a great favourite. Anybodv can prepare 3 gallons with a Is 4d bottle of "Price's" —sold by all stores. t —5 ELECTRA-BAY COMB AS XMAS GIFT.
