MRS MOODLE ON THE PREFERENTIAL TRADE- | " I say, Bill, what's this ' Preferential Tariff' the papers are all talking about ?'■ . " Oh, that there 1 Why it's a thing that Joey Chamberlain and Dickey Seddon's fixed up." " Dick's always a-fixing up things. Is it got anything' to do with those frozen sheep V • NTo you silly ; it's a new thing 1" 'Well, what is it.?" You be quiet, and I'll explain. Supposin you was—was—" Go on then " Gimme time. S'posin' you were going to Svksie, the storekeeper, and said to lnjn: Here,' mister, if you- buy my eggs 111 Buy 'my groceries from you—that'd be a preferential tariff" " Would it ? But I know better ; that old Syksie would charge me more than enough." 'Not him. He's.,as honest as the day— IF YOU KEEP YOUR EYE ON VIM." " I g.ue-sj&ilo. Last Tuesday-! said 1o him: ' Gimm& ; llb ! Hondai Lanka Tea.' Sez he: ''Pve some,, jfar better." Sez, I: "Well, ..sonnie.'l.'id like to see it. Bring it out' So he'fetebjed out a beautiful ornament and sez: ? That's 2s 4d a pound.'" Ho.hbr : Yes, and sez I,« How much of this goes to a tea cup ?'. ' Oh,' sez he, ' it's the tea I mean-' •'. Then why don't you say what you do'mean? Show me that good tea.'" ,-: "He hadn't got it." "Hadn't he. He pointed to a stack of Jinks's blend. 'That's the best,' sezhe " "Oh, the old swindler! Why, it's perfeet rubbish. Didn't we'pick the sticks out -' 3bf the tea had a packet?" - "-Ofrcdursej; f and Httle Jimmy cried when he drank it, and called it senna tea ! So I said: 'Mr Syksie, my "cousin Jack, the grocer, told me had a tremendous profit on this, but nobody would buy, ornaments and all.' The cheek of Syksie! I said,sez I: ' Sonnie, hand, out the Hondai Lanka., an' none of your jokes; an' I was that, mad I just tipped his old ornament on the floor." " Ha, ha ! Now, Bella, that explains the preferential tariff. He prefers ' Jinks's Blend ' because he gets big discounts." " Oh, you don't know a thing about it. You're like all the rest of the men—you're as full of knowledge as an empty pot " „ " Well, I know you can't beat Hondai Lanka Tea." " Any fool knows that, but it's only a woman like me that will insist on getting it from grocers like Syksie. But there's not many like him. Jack says they are mostly straightforward, honest men," " Oh, well, let's get a cup of the real unblended stuff. For the genuine, pure Ceylon, Hondai Lanka can't be equalled by any blend going." Toothache is a severe test of a man's philosophy. A simple remedy is to saturate a piece of cotton with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and place it in the cavity of the affected tooth. One application gives relief. Try it. W Theyers and Sons sells fo
