Dire thing that strikes visitors to New Zealand as being somewhat remarkable is that, to their way of thinking, men of the Dominion who look about 50 years, of age or so have generally turned 70 summers, or more. “It’s absolutely marvellous the way you New Zealanders do it,” a visitor from overseas remarked the other day at Wellington. “You hear, talk about the Englishman living to a goad old age, which he does, but at the same time he .carries the burden of his years more heavily on his shoulders than you folk do.

In that connection it may interest the reader to learn that the purest tobaccos produced are grown in New Zealand. They contain comparatively such a small percentage of nicotine that they may be indulged in ad. lib. with safety. A peculiarity of their manufacture,' by the way, is that they are all toasted. Hence their fine flavour. They are adapted to all tastes. Riverhead Gold is mild, Navy Cut (Bulldog) medium, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bull’s Head) full. You can buy them a' any tobacconists.*
