Manawatu Herald THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1928 LOCAL AND GENERAL

At Tuesday’s meeting of the Mali a Avatu County Council, the chairman (Mr. W. E. Barber) and Cr. J. H. Perrett, were appointed to represent the Council at a-conference to be called by the Oroua County Council to discuss allocation of costs in connection with the reconstruction of the Aorangi bridge at Feilding. Mr. J. Linklater made an attempt to travel to Levin last night after the results of the election were beyond doubt, but was unable to cross the river at Moutoa per punt and was also blocked owing to the flooded state of the FoxtonLevin road. After speaking at Foxton, he availed himself of the wireless facilities at Palmerston North tn briefly thank the electors. The waiting crowd in front of the Herald office last night became impatient at the delay in posting up the returns while outside press calls for progress results were very persistent. The-first two results came to hand at about 7.20 p.m. The complete Foxton returns were not available until 8.45 p.m. Mr. W. Trueman, the returning officer, and his staff, handled the returns with the utmost despatch. A “silver bettor” was the description given of Charles James Menzies, when he was charged in the Wanganui Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, before Mr. J. S. Barton, S.M., with on November 10, being the occupier of premises in St. Hill Street, he keeping them as a common gaming house. The de r tcetive said he was satisfied that accused did not bet in a big way. From his books, it appeared that he was what was popularly known as a “silver bettor.” He was a married man, 50 years of age. Accused stated that he had nothing to say,- and he was convicted and fined £3O, with, 10/- costs. Tobacco consumption varies very much .with the smoker. Some men are content with air. ounce a week while others wall consume an ounce a day. Literary men, painters, musicians, chess players, scientists, mathematicians and brain workers generally are most heavy smokers. Well, even heavy smoking is alright so long as the tobacco is of the best and not full of nicotine. That’s the worst of the imported brands, they contain so much nicotine that they are bound to cause trouble sooner or later. They are liable to affect the heart, nerves or digestion. The purest tobaccos in the world and the freest from nicotine are our own New 7 Zealand grown varieties which you can smoke for hours at a time without fear of consequences. Cool, sweet and fragrant, these delicious tobaccos are largely indebted for their fine smoking qualities to the fact that the leaf is toasted in the process of manufacture —quite a new idea. Any tobacconist will supply them. Ask for “Riverhead Gold” mild, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead) full strength.
