The local seaside adracled a large number oi' visitors during 1!> > week-end, despite the somewhat unfavourable weather. The Rev. AH Peryman and Mr E. H. Murray were the local delegates at the annual Manawatu area convention of the N.Z. Alliance held at Palmerston N. yesterday. At the local police court this morning before Mr J. Iv. Hornblow, J.P., Daniel O’Conners pleaded guilty to a charge of vagrancy and was convicted and ordered to leave the town forthwith. The Right Reverend Lord Bishop of Wellington will hold a confirmation service on Wednesday evening in All Saints’ Church at 7.30. Parents and friends are invited to the service. We are pleased to report that there is a marked improvement in the condition of Mrs J. Walls, who became seriously ill yesterday. It will be some time, however, before Mrs Walls is able to get; about ngain. Yesterday afternoon, just prior to the last race at the motor cycle sports, two small boys staged a bout of fisticuffs on the racecourse in front of the grandstand. Interest in the coming race was quickly dropped and all eyes turned to the combatants who were lighting it out in real earnest. A crowd quickly gathered and after several rounds the Mayor put an end to the exhibition by separating the juvenile pugilists.

An unique feature of the opening of the Newtown Bowling Club season on Saturday was the presence of Mr H. Sexton, a foundation member, aged 78, with his wife . They celebrated the golden wedding while on holiday in England last year. Also present were Mr and Mrs Samuel Roberts, who celebrated their golden wedding recently. Mr Sexton, who sent down the first bowl, was eight years in the Navy as a youth, and saw service on Nelson’s old ship Virtory.

The distribution of milk in bulk has been undertaken in England. The first motors put into service have tanks with capacities of 2,500 gallons. The chassis are sixwheelcrs, and the vehicles bring a daily load of milk from Froine to London, a distance of 110 miles,.the journey occupies 10 hours, and it is claimed that the milk arrives in much better condition than when conveyed by rail. There is the additional advantage that distribution is simplified on account of the abolition of the unweakly tinned containers usually employed for the carriage of milk. The carrier tank consists of a steel shell 18ft. long and Oft. in diameter, containing insulated tanks.

It is the roasting of coffee berries that results in the development of the exquisite flavour so much appreciated by coffee drinkers. That is well known. But it is not so well known that our New Zealand grown tobaccos are now subjected to the same roasting or toasting process and with the same result. The flavour is brought fully out, while at the same time the deleterious properties of the tobacco are destroyed. All tobaccos, no matter where grown, have this in common —that

they contain nicotine, some more, some less. And it is this poison that is chiefly responsible for the sufferings of those who indulge too freely in the use of the fragrant weed. Heart and nerves are generally affected and often the eyesight. Scientists now tell us that toasting neutralises part of the nicotine and that toasted tobaccos may, therefore, be smoked with impunity. They recommend Riverhead Gold,' mild and aromatic; Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium strength, the full bodied Cut Plhg No. 10 (Bullhead label) and Caversham Mixture. All are toasted. 16
