MR. LLOYD GEORGE CRITICISES THE LORDS.

Lords Milner and C'irzon Attacked. Every Gift Except Common-Sense. LONDON, December 4. Mr Lloyd Georgj. speaking at the National Liberal Club, vehemently denounced the Lonls as Mad Mulahs and wreckers of populai hopes. Tliat House, he said, had now peipctrated its last act of destructive fury and initiated one ot the greatest and most pioaiising struggles . of modern times. Mr Gtorge reiterated the j Bannerman tormulas that Liberal legisla^tion must become law within a single Parliament. Desciibii'g Lord Curzon as not very wise or tactful, Mr George remaiked that he would be leis dangerous as a ruler of the House of Lords than as the ruler of India. He added : "For further particulars apply to Lord Kitchener. If you want more information apply to Colonel Middleton. Then there is Lord Milner. There is one thing in common between Lords Milner and Curzon. Both are very clever men. Both possess every gift except eommonsense. Lord Cromer iound his charge devastated by misgoverninc-nt, and left it abounding in smiling piosperity. Lord Milner found smiling lands and left them, after years of mismanagement, a scorched, blackened desert. His is a peculiar genius for running institutions and countries into destructive courses. " Mr Lloyd George next attacked Lords Rothschild and Ecvelstoke, and twitted them on their ancestry. Both wore running down British investments and all things in a country that offered hospitality to their forefathers. After arguing that the Lords were overborne by the liquor trade, Mr Lloyd George exclaimed : —

"We've got 'em at last. I mean not to let 'em go until all accounts are settled."

Earl Carrington, presiding, characterised it as a marvellous speech, destined to have a far-reaching effect.

A SIGN" OF THE TIMES. SHARLAND'S FRUIT ESSENCES, are a sign oi the times — marketed as a necessity, and to-day the question with mo^t men and women is not 60 much "Shall I get a bottle of Fruit Essence?" as "Which Fruit Essence will give most satisfaction with the least trouble?" To the question we unhesitatingly answer SHARLAND'S, because Sharland's is the strongest and purest essence made. The production of cordials with Sharland's Fruit Essences is simplicity itself. A child can make them, and they are stronger and purer than the old fashioned sort. You will find in flavours all the favourites such as raspberry, lemon, pineajjple, orange-champagne and apple-cider, besides others. A bottle costing one shilling will make over 100 delicious drinks, pure, wholesome, aud good. Fruiterers, confectioners and others will find these essences very profitable ior counter trade, yielding much better results than the stock cordial.

Cyclists it is roor economy to repair old tubes. It seldom proves satisfactory either to you or to the repair-man} New tubes fitted at ss, 6s, 6s 6d, 7s 6d, Bs, and 8s ou. Dreadnought tubes at 7s 6d. are splendid value. Turner and Co., Maria Place.
