Employers of drainers on the Hauraki Plains admit .that generally the Austrian workers give the most satisfactory service. On the pay-roll of the Hauraki United Drainage Board there are many names which end in “vite'h,” and the board has found that in times; of financial stringency the Austrians are always willing to wait for their money, and it is seldom that Austrian contractors employing big gangs ask for progress payments.

The singing Of hymns by football crowds is quite the thing in England. It calls to mind that the Ratana football teams in the> Wanganui district always have prayers before a football match commenefes (says an exchange). It is not a prayer for victory, but is in keeping with the fact that Ratanaites always pray before embarking on any enterprise, even if it is on the field of sport.

Four out of every ten women smokers are being slowly poisoned by nicotine I So it was announced in the cable news the other day, on the authority of a famous London specialist, who says the unmistakable symptoms are: nervous debility, loss of vitality, head noises, throat troubles, and palpitation of the heart. Well, excess, of nicotine is well known to produce these effects. That’s why the smoking of American tobaccos (all of them more or less reeking with nicotine) is so injurious. If you want really pure tobacco, al] but free from nicotine, you should try the N.Z. grown brands. Sweet, cool, fragrant, and satisfying, they appeal’ irresistibly to all smokers and may be smoked all day, if desired, without causing unpleasant or harmful results. Any tobacconist will supply you. If you like a mild aromatic ask for Riverhead Gold; if you prefer something stronger, get Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog), a beautiful medium; or Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), a fine full-flavoured tobacco.* *
