The “Post’’ says that- the retrenchment scheme of the Government is threatening the precincts of Parliament. The idea appeal's to be that tn© cost of parliamentary procedure has been unduly inflated by.the number of hands employed in various capacities. For instance, last year there were 'ome two dozen messengers and twelve orderlies besides eight men patrolling the mounds to see that no one set fire to the building or picked the flowers. These numbers will be reduced, but the exact details are not decided. Next time you feel a slight irritation in your throat, get a hox of Zymole Trokeys and stop it. They give general satisfaction.
