I? • V it WET” OR “DRY 99 The MUSTARD CLUB discusses the Topic of the Moment At the Mustard Club last night, Baron de Beef presiding, the very vexed question of “Wet” or “Dry” was debated. Hammond Bacon, Esq., opened the proceedings on behalf of the ‘‘Wets.” “I am not here,”he declared, “to discuss the merits or otherwise of ‘wetting the whistle’ occasionally, or even of ‘wetting the baby’s head.’ That is a question for the people of New Zealand to settle. lam concerned now solely with ‘whetting the appetite’!

It is cheaper because no one wants to eat Mustard if it is dry. But it would be still cheaper not to eat the beef or the pork, and cheaper again not to eat at all. .My friend’s argument is therefore illogical, and is probably due to a mind befogged through faulty digestion, brought about by a lack of Mustard in his diet. “As there are countless millions of devotees of ‘wet’ Mustard in the world, it is plain that the ‘dry’ organisation is rapidly going to pot (mixed) and, for my part Mr. Stinjee can go there also. Mr. Stinjee endeavoured to put the case for the “Drys,” but as he was arguing from entirely wrong premises, his efforts were in vain. By a unanimous verdict, the protagonists of Wet Mustard carried the dayito© to' RULE *.
