Appropriate, always.

With certain dishes, such as Game, LEA & PERRINS' SAUCE is always appropriate. It is the recognised sauce for such use.

In fact, for everything with which a sauce can be used, LEA & PERRINS' is invariably the BEST. It has a refinement of flavour that suits the most delicate dishes, and appeals to the most exacting palates.

PROFITEERING BILL.. SECOND READING CARRIED.

SWEEPING MAJORITY.

The second reading of the Profiteering Bill was passed in the House of Commons Con August 11th, by the enormous majority of 13. The division took place on the motion of rejection moved by Mr. Ken- nedy Jones, and seconded by Sir Watson Rutherford. Late in the discussion Mr. J. . Thomas said that the Labour party would support the bill, but move amend ments in Lonimittee in order to extend its scope. The voting wa

In spite of this sweeping majority, bow. ever, the Minister in charge, Sir duck land Geddes, spent by no means a happy day. He was subject to direct and think attack, from both Liberaly and Labour on the Front Opposition Bench, and from friends sitting on the top bens ches below the gangway. The latter lis tened to his opening speech with no great. respect, and often interrupted with quiz zigil an none too friendly comments, cheering most Ironically all his assur aners that the bill did not create a new set of Bureauerats. Mr. Kennedy Jones objected to handling over another blank eheque to the family of tieddes, and sup. posed that six months hence, when the bile was giroved a failure, Sir Auckland would have fitted across the Atlantic, and would be peacefully lecturing to his university stuilents. There was, in faot. little friendship shown to the bill below the gangway among the group of Conti tion Unionists who are now taking ani independent line, though the division shows that most of them voted for it.

Sir Auckland's analysis of the situa tion was as usual, excellent. He showed the economic and social evils of profiteer ing, how the unrest it created depressed production, and how big profits made in the home markets neted ag a magnet to draw imperts, which is just what we want to avoid, for last month the valu of excess imports over exports was at the rate of E000,000,000 a year.
