“WE GENERALLY NEED SOMEONE .TO SHOW US THINGS THAT SHOULD BE APPARENT TO ALL.” WHY ARE WE HERE? My Dear People,— Educational experts have discovered that the peasantry in the starving areas of Europe have splendid teeth. They exist on black bread alone, as they have not the chance to masticate anything else, and they never suffer from indigestion, but have an acute gnawing at the belt line, causing their teeth to show. These poor creatures have as much animation and intelligence as a worm before sighted by-a sparrow, and our educational experts ask us to emulate. Another theory is that “forced intelligence” evaporatefe too much blood, causing baldness and toothache, as it deprives the roots of hair and teeth of their only stimulant. I think the boot manufacturers will suggest, that it is advisable to dispense with footwear to avoid corns, bunions, ingrowing nails, and other imperfections causing pain to our “soles,” before the Education Department makes a study of it, as our “soles” are just as important as our teeth. The surgeons think cutting with the assistance of the X-rays, cannot be beaten for “results.” The Radiumites (the principal £20,000 to last 30,000 years; there is nothing like looking well ahead) state that “cutting and X-rays” are now obsolete. Lord Byron has stated, after much thought, that when one is run down, “salts” are a great reviver, as they are not costly and within the reach of' "all. Champion is not imbued with selfish and egotistical ..ideals, and he asks you just to go on using his Muscle-raiser Flour, topped off with Soother, i.e.,: Standard Oatmeal, Rolled Oats, and Gruel Meal, and you will always have a buoyant and satisfied feeling. Pray, V., AUCKLAND.
