An appeal throughout New Zealand is being made for funds to be devoted to faniine belief in China. Surely our fellow gritons, the starving miners of Wales, have a prior elaim for financial aid! over the Chinese. Besides, there are any number of charity cashes worthy of sympathetic consideration, in New Zealand which should be alleviated before any thought, is given to sending money abroad. Thousands upon thousands of tons of tobacco are needed every year to keep the world’s pipe alight. America is a large producer, but other countries contribute—including New Zealand, where the tobacco industry promises to become of national importance. Already it finds employment for a rapidly increasing body of workers, while it is of material assistance to men on the land who have discovered that tobacco culture *s well worth while. The New Zealand grown tobacco now on the market is of splendid quality—sweet, pure, and fragrant. When smoking proves injurious this is due to the presence in the leaf of an excess of nicotine. The imported brands are full of this poison. The New Zealand brands are comparatively free from it, so that they can be smoked wih perfect impunity. That’s why the doctors approve of them. Once you acquire a taste for these tobaccos no others will satisfy you. They are of various strengths, Riverhead Gold, mild ; Navy Cut, (Bulldog), medium ; and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) is flavoured. Any tobacconist will supply you.*
