A curious accident befell a Gisborne resident recently. W’hile inspecting building additions, and walking over uncertain flooring, he felt a board slipping under him, and he instinctively flung out his hand to steady himself. The signet ring on his little finger hooked itself in a nail in a wall, and as his full weight bore on it the ring slipped off, taking the flesh of the finger with it, and almost stripping the finger bare. The man will partially lose the use of the finger.

Edison, the world-famed inventor, won’t allow his staff to smoke cigarettes in his workshop and laboratories, although he does not object to pipes. Perhaps it is his personal preference for the pipe that accounts for this. A pipe is certainly a great help when the mind is engaged in trying to solve some tough problem. There is something peculiarly soothing (and yet mentally stimulating) in a pipe that other forms of smoking fail to give. But the tobacco must be carefully selected. Brands rich in nicotine will do more harm than good. The best tobaccos for brain workers (and manual workers, too) are our beautiful New Zealand goods, the product of the National Tobacco Co., Ltd. (pioneers of the N.Z. tobacco industry). Almost free from nicotine, they may be smoked unsparingly—they won’t harm anybody. They owe their wonderful purity to being toasted (and no other tobaccos are). Hence, also, their exquisite flavour and aroma. Special favourites : “Riverhead Gold” (aromatic), “Cavendish” (sporting mix-' ture), Navy Cut No. 3” (another fine medium), and “Cut Plug No. 10” (the old smoker’s choice). Safe smoking because all toasted.*
