EVAPORATED MILK

Of course if a rice pudding is pale blue in colour and the rice is all swimming round, people will get up from the table and think unjust things about rice puddings. But if your rice pudding is made with Milkmaid Evaporated Milk it will be creamy in colour-neither too thick nor too thin-and people who do not usually like rice pudding will eat it rather eagerly.

Milkmaid Evaporated Milk is pure country milk con- centrated to the consistency of cream. It improves all milk puddings 100%.

I will not on this occasion go deeply into the subject, as it is full of technicalities which non-ship- ping members can hardly be ex pected to study very closely. The Chamber owes a great debt of gratitude to Mr. Dyer, Mr. Sher- vell, Mr. James, Mr. Morrison, Mr. Brayfield. Mr. Hunter, Captain Kennedy and Captain Skinner for the onerous and valuable work they have done, and we hope will con- tinue to do until a conclusion is
