The King's Interest in the Food of the People. British-Made Maypola Margarine." These are rabidly becoming household ia-ords, and most popular ones, too, throughout the Kingdom. And no Wonder, for every good housewife now knows that the far-famed Maypole Dairy Company aro the largest retailers of choicest quality butter, tea, and British- made Margarine in the realm, and that they make the whole of their celebrated brand of Maypole Margarine at their own Dairy at Southall, Middlesex. The Maypole Works., which Their Majesties the King and Queen recently in- spected with such interest, constitute the largest, best equipped, and most hygienic dairy in the world. It covers many acres of ground, has its own railway station of seven platforms, and its own canal which brings direct to its doors from sunny palm-groves overseas the thou- sands of tons of cocoanut oil required each week. It is a wonder factory in all its ways, a perfection of human ingenuity, and its hundreds of workers, as the King and Queen saw, are like an army, disciplined in every movement of their daily duty. Briefly, this is the pi- occx-, the King and Queen saw. Through a maze of pipes the refined essence of the cocoanut is drawn until it meets the milk with wkich it is to blend. Both are untouched through their progress by human hands; the hands at work are those of great engines, churns and blenders. It emerges a liquid How, amber-coloured, and of a. density of cream. Thence it passes into an ice-cold drum, and: leaves it in golden lfakes, light as ,A,ii d ? 1(, aves it I ii gol? snow. Another journey in an aluminium eradle, and it is ready for weighing and packing. The whole process seems miracu- lous, so swift, so silent and so un-man- handled is it. The air of the Maypole Dairy is cleaned and renewed every half hour of the day and night by a marvellous system of purification. It remains summer and winter the same tem- perature and no impurity of any descrip- tion can by any conceivable chance come into contact with the Margarine. We are told that the Dairy is open to the world, and anyone who is interested and procures the necessary permit may see what their Majesties the King and Queen saw, and will be welcomed and shown the complete process. What is of equally national importance in these day's of ever-increasing cost prices of food, is the comforting fact that May- pole Margarine is one of the singularly few articles of food still selling at very little increase on the old peace-time prices. Indeed, with butter at its present almost prohibitive cost, it is a national boon that the really perfect substitute, Maypole Margarine, is sold over the counter at less I than one-third of the price of Butter, at the 889 Maypole Branches throughout the Kingdom. But this is, of course, only one of the three nationally famous Maypole specialities. The other two are. Maypole Butter, which first made Maypole's name. and Maypole Tea, still doing the <ame. And these stand unrivalled ie-dav as they did twenty years ago. All good housewives and every careful mother rightly determined in these costly times to get their money's-worth for the family's daily table, especially at this festive season, will no doubt call in at the nearest Maypole Branch and see the dainty spread for themselves, when they will he convinced and gladly become buyers and bearers homewards of Maypole's appetising be,q r ers lionieii,,ti- d s of necessaries for the family.

??- -?- Exceptional Opportunities for Christmas Buyers. Amid the gloom of war the spinit oi friendship glows like a torch ianued to a more intense flame by one's daeire to give the greatest happiness to others this year. And so, now that Christmas is nearly upon us, people are choosing their gifts with greater care than ever. There is a marked tendency to visit those establishments where the greatest variety of gifts is dis- played, and consequently it came as no surprise to us to observe the great anima- tion which is so noteworthy tiiis year at Mr. H. Samuel's shops in St. Mary-street, Queen-street, and Duke-street, Cardiff. Anyone who passes may see busy pur- chasers flocking in and out until one almost fears that the stock of gifts may be ex- hausted. But, fortunately, this establish- ment, so favoured by the public, especially at Ohristniastide, represents a. huge organi- sation (comprising 77 shops) which is able to provide an almost endless profusion of beautiful and usefnl articles. LIKE ALADDIN'S PALACE. Once inside Mr. H. Samuel's establish- ment the eye is enchanted witk the blaze of jewels, the beautiful settings, the glitter- ing silverware, and all those accumulated treasures which recall sofcne glowing pago flora the Arabian Nights." Those who seek pi-actical presents will find an almost infinite ehoiee of useful articles; luminous military wrist watches, safety raabr sets, hairbrushes, and plate of all kinds. Those who wish to exercise a wise economy this year will, we feel sure, be both surprised and delighted at the low prices for whioh admirable presents may be purchased at Mr. Samuel's. Owing to the perfection of his organisation, owing to the vastness of his purchases for 77 branches, he is able to effect savings whieh are frequently denied to a smaller organisa- tion, and consequently tIe purchaser re- ceives rery remarkable value for the money expended. Special provision seems to have lwu made for the requirements of any of our readers who may be una ble to call and choose their presents on the spot: for wa understand that a postcard- addressed to Mr. H. Samuel, Market-street, Manchester, will hring free, by return of post, his hand- Some and fully illustrated new volume of Christmas Gifts. Tlitis iii the conifoi-t of one's own home it is possible to secure the same wide range of choice togediei- with the' actual saving of money and all the other advantages secured by those who buy over the counter." Complete satis- faction is guaranteed by the right of a fnil month's trial of every purchase. Our rea ders should mo?t certain ly profit, by I doing part, at least, of their Christmas shopping at Mr. H. Samuel's.

Adam and Eve. What is probably the most remarkable and strangest of all alleged Bible tombs it. that which marks the supposed resting- place of Eve, the mother of the human race. It lies about a mile to the north of Jeddali, the port of Mecca. Very few Europeans have rceii it, for on no account arc Christians allowed to move outside the i walls of the city, this precaution b«i»g takex to preTrnt them i-rom attempting to reach the sacred city of Mecca, sone ftfty edd miles away. The tradition that Eve was buried ilei-a is older than Mohammed. Adam is ho- lieved by some to rest at kis own peak in Ceylon, but this is debated bfr Oriental scholars. There had he en a difference, so tho Mohammedans say, between our fh:!It parents, and "Rye spent the last years of her life at Jeddah, where shp wn: bnripd, not far from the great temple in Mecca, which Moslem tradition ascribes to tins hands of Adam himself. A common legend attributes to Eve the height of 118 feet, but this does not correspond with the dimensions of her tomb, whieh is nearly 400 feet long! She must have been ef a somewhat strange shaye. as her grave is only ten or eleven feet wide At her head and fpet. are little whitened shrines, and in the middle of the grave is a smp.ll building containing a curious witeess to the devo- tion of the Moslems. On the w h itewashed walls of this little temple are hundreds of thousands of pencilled names, all far up as the hand can reach.-—H.J.S., in tl1.. Mill- gate Monthly Chriatmas Number.

Rheumatism-Kidney Trouble. Rheumatism is due to uric acid crystals in the joints and muscles, the result of excessive uric acid in the system that the kidneys failed to remove as nature in- tended, to which every qualified physician agrees, and this acid is also the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, gout, urinary trouble, stone, gravel, dropsy. Estora Tablets, a specific based on modern medical science, are the successful treatment, and have cured numberless obstinate cases after the failure of all other tried remedies, which accounts for them superseding out- of-date medicines sold at a price beyond all but the wealthy. Estora. Tablets fully warrant their description—an honest remedy at an honest price, 1/3 per box of 40 tablets or 6 for 6/9.

The Sisters Williams, wath charming voices, assisted by Fdg-mr and Murray, gave an artistic sketch, all skew- ing great earnestness in their work and displaying considerable histrionic ability. Mr. Beth Griffiths, Porth, was the gifted pianst. The frequent applause sufficiently indicated the appreciation of the aud ience. A vote of thanks to the chairman and art-istes closed an enjoyable and memorable gathering.
