PINK PILLS IN PARLIAMENT AMUSING REFERENCE IN THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON NEWSPAPER TRAINS. An interesting war of words disturbed the sedate session of the Parliamentary Committee on newspapers, sitting in Sydney last week. Mr S. Cook, the manager of the “Sydney Morning Herald” and the “Sydney Mail,” proved a hard nut to crack. His sharp answers provoked answers equally sharp from the sturdy labour champion, Mr A. H. Griffith, who occupied the chair. Incidentally the Chairman illustrated a smart retort by a witty reference to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. The reference was not only amusing, but apt, as can be seen from the dialogue taken from the reports in the Sydney dailies. Mr Cook was being examined by Mr Dacey, member for Botany, who asked him if he did not consider newspapers a necessity? Mr Cook: Yes; a newspaper is a necessity of the time. Mr Dacey: So is food.
