A big “run” of whitebait was experienced in the Manawatu River on Thursday and Friday. The Hag on the Rost Office was down at half-mast yesterday to nnark the funeral of the DowagerEmpress of Russia, sister of the late Queen Alexandra and mother of the late Czar.

A number of Wellington Free; masons, some of them accompanied by their naves, arrived in Foxton this afternoon and this evening will pay a fraternal visit to the local lodge, after which a social time will be spent. “The ostrich industry is doomed,” said Mr. lan Harvey, a returned All Black, when describing at a Grey town function what lie had seen in South Africa. This was attributed to the motor car, as ladies could not ride in them and wear ostrich plumes.

“What a blessing this smoking is! Perhaps the greatest we owe to the discovery of America.” So wrote the late Sir Arthur Helps, and millions of smokers the world over have doubtless endorsed his words. But great as is our indebtedness to America for giving us the priceless boon of tobacco, the fact remains . that practically all the American brands in use-to-day .contain an excess of nicotine. Arid that is bad, as any doctor will tell you. It is no less true that the purest tobaccos of all, —i.e., those comparatively free from nicotine are our own New Zealand varieties. They are so pure in fact, that they may be indulged in with the utmost impunity. The leaf is toasted in the process of manufacture. Hence their delicious flavour and delightful fragrance. They come in several strengths, and are thus adapted to all tastes. You can get them at any tobacconist’s. Ask for “Riverhead Gold” mild, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium, or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead), full strength.
