It is dear and nasty, | and the legend that it strikes only on | the box is an empty boast, the truth being that it will not strike anywhere. | The reason for its otherwise mysterious existence lies in the fact that it is a | Government monopoly and brings in millions to the state. Having made these out of the inside | of the boxes, M. Peytral had a bril- | liant idea of utilizing the outside of | 800,000,000 boxes per annum. It is pub- licity such as would make the mouth | | of proprietors of so and so soap and | somebody else’s chocolate water ac- cordingly. | _Application was made to Parliament | for ‘necessary powers, and this raised a storm.
