Your costs are going up, and the lifeblood of our nation is going to be taxed away. Ours is the section of the com-Mild-Drinking Feat.

By drinking one and three-quarter gallons of milk shake in one “standing” at a Hawera milk bar, a young Hawera man probably established a Taranaki, if not a Dominion record. The marathon drinking exhibition was made to win a wager made with some friends. The man drank seven separate milk shakes, each of one quart, and he complained of no ill-effects afterwards. Three of his supporters kept him company over part of the test. One drank one gallon and a-half, another a gallon and a-quarter, and a third one a gallon. Others of the party kept the pace until the two and three-quart marks were reached. Evidence of the feat was contained in tho fact that the milk bar proprietor ’s refrigerator tank was empty of milk after the contest was completed.
