[Auckland consumers some time ago rushed ‘all available supplies of cosmetics and soap, and the New Zealand Herald now reports that a_ similar rush is being made to secure supplies of butter. One elderly Auckland woman bought sufficient soap to last her for 20 years. Another now has 35 pounds of butter stored away.-News item.] Baigrnin: Weal, come Woe, new Orders or new Wars, Come Peace with Plenty, Famine or Disease; Come Cakes and Ale, or Crusts and Apple-cores; Let Multitudes go warmly clad, or freeze, : Know Health and Merriment, or Blood and TearsI have sufficient Soap for Twenty Years! Fe heed shrewdly I anticipate the Time When Soap will seem a rare and precious Thing; My Neighbours will retain their natural Grime, Their frowsy Frames no longer ingWhile I, well soaped and scrubbed from Head to Toe, Shall shine among them like the Driven Snow." H, Some in Cigarettes lay up their Treasure, That turns to Ashes or gces up in Smoke; In Hoards of Tea or Sugar Some take PI ; Some g0 without, and treat it as a Joke; I smile upon such trivial Fear and Hope, Rejoicing in Sufficiency of Soap!
