The Christ church " Press " has received copies of two pamphlets issued by the Jligh Commissioner's otlicc, which show that Mr Reeves has taken fail advantage of the Chicago meal .-vandals 111 pushing New Zealand me;.!. One is a reprint of 1111 article by Mr Keeves ill the 'Daily Chronicle,' showing how cleanliness and purity art assured in New Zealand meat.

In attaining this ideal the iS'ew Zealandcrs are assisted by a iirst-rate climate, education, and stringent Government inspection. The Government regulations ensuring the cleanliness and purity of the meat, arc set out clearly and briefly.
