LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THE GRAVEST OF THE DANGERS Sir, —The community is indebted to you for your timoly article in reference to Cecil Chesterton's warning. I think every community, oven the smallest in the Empire, should givo voice to tho universal determination to prosccuto the war (at whatever further cost) until tho Prussian, power is absolutely smashed—irreparably smashed. This is iii the interests of tho coming generations. Wo may congratulate ourselves upon l .the fact that the Allied arms and diplomacy have succeeded admirably >so far, except in the case of Greece, where both have failed miserably. Why King Constantino was not put "under hatches" in a British warship months ago, and Athens bombarded from the Piraeus, is a mystery. Greece could not claim (nor could it bo claimed on her behalf) that she had been neutral, and she has been able, in conjunction with her contemptiblo Sovereign, to hold up General Sarrail's advance. The fact tliat any German (naturalised or not) is permitted to bo at liberty in any British community, under existing circumstances, is as mysterious as the evident tenderness of our Government towards the Germans. Tho recentvshocking occurrence in Syd-
ney, which was probably much to the taste of the Ttaiser, was due in no small degree to underground influences. Although Lady Stout was denied Ministerial courtesy, her arguments remain uncontroverEed.—l am, etc., ' ' BRITON. MILK DEPOT Sir,—lt was with some surprise and amusement that 1 read an account of an interview which the representatives of the Dairy Farmers' Association and the representatives of the Milk Vendors' Association had with His .Worship the Mayor as to the construction and management of a municipal milk depoJ. ' It was urged by the two former that when the • ratepayers' money has been expended in 'erecting
the place, the possession, and control should be vested jointly in tlio three interests then. in evidence. In such an event it is quite clear that the influence and policy in. management would bo that of tho_ two active institutions, the' third being practically a sleeping partner. As the whole comI prises every-parfc, the associations present wero spoaking on telialf of thoso ' responsible for every abuse which has rdndereS'lntervention necessary. What evidenco is there that the governing influence in these associations has ever, been zealous to check or penalise improper methods in the trade? None whatever. Under their regime, conditions are so intolerable that drastic action has become necessary. There is no possible reason why the citizens should construct an entrenchment for those against whom operations are directed. If the suggestion is followed, thero is every prospect that the interest represented.by His "Worship might be crucified between tho other two.— I am, etc., • ONE WHO LOVES GOOD MILK.
Sir J. Madden, K.C.H.G., etc.,»Lieuten- ! ant-Governor and Chief Justice of Victoria, when delivering judgmont in a case in which an inferior substitute had been pushed as "just as pood" as SANDEB'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, said with regard to the GENUINE SANDER EXTRACT: "Whenever an article is commended to the public by reason of its good 1 quality, it is not permissibln to imitate any of its features." When using a medicine it is "good quality" that you want, and SANDER'S EXTRACT has the endorsement and approval of the highest authorities. Inhaled, applied locallv, taken on sugar or in water as directed,. SANDER'S EXTRACT is equally beneficial because it. is specally refined and prepared by Sander's, process, and contains no harmful bv-effects. Use SANDER'S EXTRACT only when you desire good and lasting effects: no "just as good."—Advt.
