An interesting letter dealing with conditions in Germany to-day has been received from Mr Gainor Jackson, a well-known Auckland business man. Writing from London, after an extensive tour of Europe. Mr Jackson says that in Germany food is adequate but not over-plentiful. Butter is extremely scarce, but ean be purchased, although it is rationed and limited to a half-pound per person weekly. “One. however, is not considered a good Nazi if lie insists upon his butter ration,” writes Mr Jackson, “and consequently margarine is generally used. In the three weeks I was in Germany I saw butter on only two occasions—in hotels—and then only when T specially asked for it. The margarine is very good, hut the bread is very poor—the sale of white flour is prohibited. Wholemeal rve dour only is available, and in making bread other ingredients, which I imagined were potatoes or turnips, are included, and the result is a very poor bread. However, it cheanens the cost, and appears to suit the Germans, who do not complain. Their tastes apparently are not so fine in the matter of foodstuffs as those of the English. Thev are big meat eaters, and generally the whole nation appears to he physically fit.” Labor laws are no concern to Jack Frost, but you can knock him badly in our warm winter underwear.

A litigant who entered the witness-box in the Wellington Supreme Court clad in a blue blazer and an open shirt, was asked by Mr Justice Reed whether they were his best clothes, and the man replied in the negative. “Why do you come to Court in a thing like that?” asked his Honor. “Surely you must see that the Court must be treated with a certain amount of respect. It is not a very difficult thing for a person to put on rather better clothes than a blazer and an open shirt. It is not much of a compliment to the Court.” Junipah mineral salts, 2s; Kruschen salts, 2s 3d; Health salts, 2s; Rhusal salts, Is fid; Clement’s Tonic, 3s and ss; Bidomak, 3s fid.—Bryant’s Cash Store.* # For tasty winter meals —Oak spaghetti, sd, (id, 8d and lOd tin; baked beans, sd, (id, 8d and lOd tin; Frimley tomatoes, Is Id tin; asparagus tips, Is 4d tin. —Bryant’s Cash Store.* Nestle’s fireside cocoa, Is 2d lb. packet; Bournville cocoa, fid, Is sd, 2s fid tin; loose cocoa, Is lb.; coffee and milk, Is 3d tin; Strang’s coffee de luxe, Is (id bottle. —Bryant’s Cash Store.*
