MR SEMPLE AND A SUIT.
"We are told," said Mr. R. Semple, speaking at Upper Hutt, "that the sovereign is now worth I2s 9-|d. That calculation is made on the basis of the four food groups, but a sovereign is not worth more than 10s when clothing is to be bought. The other day I went to get a blue serge suit and was asked 15 guineas—l stopped running only a little while ago. The Board of Trade has taken action against one firm only over tho sale of a yard of flannel, and Has missed the 'bus. There is work for it to do if it is genuine."
