The report and insurance statistics for the year .1925 by the Government Statistician show that the Public Trust Office held deposits required by law amounting to over £1,000,000There were 40 accident insurance .companies and 11 life assurance companies. The principal feature was the large increase in the business recorded, which also applies to industrial life assurance. For a wager two men at Brighton, England, recently matched themselves, one against the other, to see which could smoke the most tobacco in a given time. The- contest lasted for hours. Th© tobacco was American of medium strength. The winner smoked two and a quarter ounces. He looked as if he had had niore than enough when he put his pipe down. The loser was going strong when he collapsed. Heart. Fact is, most of these American tobaccos are full of “juice” (Nicotine), and nicotine in excess plays the dickens with heart and nerves. No tobacco is absolutely free from it, but our New Zealand-grown brands contain so little- that they are practically harmless. They can be smoked freely without causing any trouble. Even the doctors recommend them. Cool, sweet, and fragrant, they appeal to all smokers. Try .them. If you like a soothing, mild aromatic, ask for Riverhead ’ Gold; or if you prefer something stronger, get some Navy Cut, medium, or Cut Plug No. 10, full flavoured.*
