On Saturday, jn addition to the extra lighting demand, the Dobson and Wallsend Alines and the Maori Creek dredge were all on the load.

At 3 pan. yesterday Larry’s Creek, on the Buller Road was in high flood, all cars being held up till Mr James (Manager for Newman Brothers) ami other willing helpers planked the rail-, way bridge with four inch planks, when the cars were able to cross. One large Willy’s Knight car containing a party of young Westport men, attempted to go one better, plunging into the creek. They'crossed the temporary bridge with the water over their radiator, but 20 yards further the machine became stuck in the creek with water covering the radiator. All the other cars passed by. The change in the weather over the week-end was welcomed in most quarters, as it will do crops much good, and prove of sanitary value. the asphalting of the borough streets has reached a fairly advanced stage, but a few davs’ more sunshine would enable its completion.

Why is smoking so (d'ten attended with results that cause medical men to order their patients to either discontinue the habit, or greatly modify it. It is simply because the percentage of nicotine in most imported tobaccos is so high and it is the nicotine in excess that renders smoking injw ions. Now, our New Zealand grown tobaccos contain so small a percentage of nicotine that it is practically a negligible quantity, and besides, they are subjected to a new toasting process. Toasting develops the flavour, removes all deleterious properties and makes the tobacco climate proof. Toasted tobacco is recommended to those who study their health and appreciate a pure tobacco. If you like a full body try Cut Plug No. 10 the Bullshead label, or the somewhat mihl|er Navy Cut (Bulldog). There is another brand, Riverhead Gold, which excels all others in mildness and aroma. They may be smoked with impunity and cost 25 per cent, less than the foreign lines.
