A Wanganui resident, while expressing sympathy for the genuine workei who found a difficulty in securing employment, said there were quite; a number of shirkers as well as workers in Wanganui (states the “Herald”). He instanced the case of a contract being taken recently for £l5 for cutting into firewood a number of trees. After the contract was completed there were still a few more trees to be cut down, and the contractor offered to do the work for £4. It was decided, however to give the balance of the tree-cutting to the Unemployment Relief Committee. A number of ‘ men’ were sent t.o do the woik, which our informant declares cost £4o—not £4.

"What a blessing this smoking is 1 Perhaps the greatest we owe io the discovery of American." So wroi-e the late Sir Arthur Helps, and millions of smokers, the world over have doubtless endorsed his words. But great as is our indebtedness to America for giving ust the priceless boon of tobacco, the fact remains that practically all the American brands in use to-day contain an excess of nicotine. And that is bad, as any doctor will tell you. It is no less true that the purest tobaccos of all, i.e., those comparatively free from nicotine are our own New Zealand varieties. They are so pure in fact, that they may be indulged in with the utmost impunity. The T e af is toasted in the process of manufacture. Hence their delicious flavour and delightful fragrance. They come in several strengths and are thus adapted to all tastes. You can get them at any tobacconist’s. Ask for “ Riverhead Goldmild, “Navy Cut" (Bulldog) medium 1 , or “ Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead) full strength.
