Not only is its flesh helping to eke out meat rations, but the fur, ex ported to the United States, is earn ing precious dollars to help to pay for vital war materials. “I’ll buy every rabbitskin I can lay my hands on,” said Mr. Arthur Budinger, proprietor of a British fur exporting company. Ho showed an order for 250,000 skins just received from America. “I’ll take any kind of skin I can get,’’ he said, “i’ll even place contrasts for their pelts be fore the rabbits are born. But skin* I must have, for there are plenty more orders coming from the United States —* and the price is going up.” INTERRUPTED TELEPHONE CALL. ‘‘Hullo! Hullo! Who? ... I can’t get !” He sneezed violently and the telephone crashed down. “They’ll call again, sir!’’ said his typist. “Pul monas will stop that cold.” Pulmonas give 2-way relief —by inhalation of antiseptic vapours through the airpassages and absorption through the blood.
