Mystery Sandwiches To Suit All Tastes

IT is impossible to imagine an animal that was a cross-bred between a cow, sheep and piff wandering- along the road. Yet the.idea does not seem so vivid a flight of imagination after one has eaten sandwiches from many of our railway refreshment rooms. The book of" words published by a fatherly Government for the benefit, of a travelling public, clearly states; — "The lessee is bound by the terms of his lease to supply the articles of the best description—" and so on, ad infinitum. But do the lessees obey? Or are some of them' so confident that you can fool all the public all the time that they make rude signals at the regulation with nose, thumb and fingers? A ham sandwich purchased at a |

South Island refreshment room was not made with ham. Neither did it contain mutton or beef. Instead, it seemed as if it were made up of a little bit of everything m the form of a slightly greasy paste. . When it is considered that the traveller is charged a very stiff price for his sandwich — fourpence for a few bites that would not cost more than %d — he" is at least entitled to the very best and ham that is true to label. . The : "Man: Who Gets things Done" had sufficient power to. hold up a train while a supply of bath water was taken aboard. Surely his successor m the railways job can spare a little thought for the class that only wants a bite and not a bathe while travelling.
