The Turua Brass Band played a programme of sacred music at Ngatda on Sunday last, and their efforts were much appreciated by the few who attended at the school ground to listen to them. The Hauraki Plains Tennis Association’s representatives will play an Auckland team at Ngatea. on Saturday next. The Auckland .team will comprise practically the same players as visited the Plains last season. The visitors will be the guests of the association at a dance in the Ngatea hall on Saturday evening, and will possibly be taken for a tour of the district before leaving. Good progress is being made with the bitumen sealing of the TuruaNetherton road on - the 60-chain stretch between the old '\Vharepoa Ferry corner and the boundary of the Turua Southern Area road loan district near Mr Troughton’s house. The new metalling is almost completed, and the bitumen work is following close behind. On the Wharepoa-Kere-peehi road from the corner to the end of the old red metalled road a. great improvement has been effected, anil if there are sufficient funds available a layer of blue metal and a coating of red metal .will be provided. Unfortunately, during the progress of this work last week the road rojlei broke down and had to be taken to the depot to have certain parts replaced. “Everybody smokes now—man, woman, and child.” Thus said Mr Barry Pain the well-known London writer, in the last number of the “Windson. ’ Yes we all smoke —bar cranks. Why not’? The habit contributes more to the sum total of human happiness than any other. It soothes our sorrows and enhances our joys. Never mind what its enemies may say. The worst they can say is that the nicotine contained in tobacco may prove highly injurious. But that depends upon the tobacco. Imported brands, it’s true, are often so full of this poison that their free use may cause nerve and heart trouble. But what about our N.Z. tobaccos ? They differ in so far as their content of nicotine is quite negligible in comparison. And —note this—New Zealand tobaccos are toasted. They’re the only tobaccos that are. Hence their delightful flavour and fragrance. And they’re so pure you may smoke them with absolute impunity. They don’t require rubbing and they don’t bite the tongue. Even, doctors recommend them. Riverhead Gold is mild, Navy Cut (Bulldog) is medium, and Cut Bing No. 10 (Bullshead) is full strength. Thy them.*
