THE leading question that is uppermost in everyone's mind, and that is turning our hair grey, is—How are we to got through the coming winter ? One remedy 11. B. would suggest is, don't pay Is for a tin of Column's mustard when you can get it for lOd, eat plenty of oatmeal at 8s 9d per bag, and buy good tea at 2s 3d per lb. Another rcme.y is to buy a mousetrap for 6d, to prevent the little beggars from emptying your cupboards. Also cultivate your gardens, every corner of them ; don't let a weed grow (allee Jsnme as 11. B.) 'ihe undersigned will supply you with the newest and best Garden Seeds at thejjlowest prices. Then, again, shoot plenty of Acclimatisation Society's (No!) sparrows and pigeons, thereby saving butcher's meat.
