Iron For Munitions •y The first consignment of iron from s. the 2|-mile pipeline which is being dis>e' mantled at Kumara, in Westland, arit rived in Christchurch on Friday, and 3- will be used by local foundries for urgent munitions purposes. Further con)f signments of the 2200 tons of iron in d the pipeline would arrive shortly. The g weather and the heavy nature of the >f country in which the pipeline was situated had been responsible for the delay in obtaining the first consignment of iron. n s Black Marketing of Eggs ) ‘ “The Internal Marketing Depart- , ment has some prosecutions pending ; now.” said Mr T. S. Dove, producers’ 1 representative on the New Zealand ; Poultry Board, when a member of the I Canterbury Westland Registered Pouli try Keepers’ Association asked at the 1 annual meeting recently if any action i was being taken to deal with black ! marketing of eggs in Christchurch. I ■ Grenade in Luggage Crate ! The discovery by railway employees ! of a Mills hand grenade in a luggage ! crate which had been- unloaded from ; the ferry steamer at Lyttelton, one J morning recently caused some excitei ment and speculation in the port un- ! til Army officers identified it as a ' i harmless practice bomb. The grenade , ;is similar to the “real thing” in all , j respects except that it has no explo- ] j sive charge in it. ( 1 Smoke in Cities « 1 j 1 j In London, domestic consumers of coal contributed two and a half times' j J more smoke to the atmospher than in- j ■ dustrial consumers. Dr. R. O. Page ( | told the Canterbury branch of the g I New Zealand Geographical Society re- s cently. “Smoke is waste, and Indus- ,y trialists minimise waste with modern r burners,” Dr. Page said. However, the nuisance was another argument for withholding coal from use for heating, so that it could be used for its more valuable by-products.

Tobaccos that burn the tongue and irritate the throat?’ Why, they are !

as common as house-flies in summer! What’s wrong with them? That’s an easy one! Full of nicotine, so they may not only burn the tongue, but wreck the nerves, affect the heart, attack the throat, and play up with you generally. Give them a miss if you value your health. Why smoke them, anyway,- when you can get the genuine toasted for the same (or less) money? Toasting, the manufacturers’ complex and unique process, eliminates the poisonous nicotine, while at the same time enhancing flavour and aroma and you will not only get a thoroughly enjoyable ’ smoke but a harmless one. Toasted possesses that clean, pure, sweet and fragrant quality you’ll look for in vain in other tobaccos. There are only six brands of the genuine article, remember: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold and Pocket Edition. The three latter make the finest cigarettes money can buy! And once you change over to toasted you’ll pever want anything else.
