In the course or a speerch at Lincoln College, Canterbury/Mr D. M. Westenr.a said that as a member of a commission he had visited State farms, and the losses were amazing—so much so that he would say, "God help Lincoln College if ever it become,s a State institution.” The total length of Government lailways, available for traffic during 1926 was 3138 miles. Passengers carried, excluding season-ticket holders, numbered 11,813,480. Live stock and goods totalled 7,256,142 tons. The revenue earned was '£8,460,762, and the expenditure totalled £6,164,570. Even non-smokers, must (or should) admit that tobacco is a splendid disinfectant. It was found to be so in the great plague year in England (1665), and in our own day medical men often consider it invaluable in helping to ward off infection. But it is in times of mental stress that so ma,ny value it. Every smoker knows how comforting it is in time of trouble. Inferior brands, however, are best avoided, and it should, of course, be as free from nicotine ac possible. The American .tobaccos, by the way, are all more or less loaded with the latter. But pur New Zealand varieties, on the other hand, contain very little. Hence their appeal to the smoker who can go on puffing them all day long if he likes without fear of consequences. And, owing to the fact that the leaf is. toasted —quite a novel notion —.they are as remarkable for flavour as for fragrance. Your tobacconist has them.
