That there are plenty of people in Christchurch jvho are willing to adopt children is the experience of a local magistrate, lie stated to tin 1 Times that hardly a week passes without having to go several times through the necessary formalities in connection with such a proceeding. "The people who offer themselves," he said, “are for the most part, people well settled in married life, hut without, children ot their own.

“If you smoke here you will smoke hereafter!” Such is the railicr siartlmg title of a leaflet distributed broadcast by a London Anli Tobacco Association. This should be interesting to devotees i.il the weed. There is a lot of nonsense written and tillered, about lotiaci-o. Smoking is no crime!

How can they be, seeing that most of llmm arc -poisonous with nicotine' Cases innumerable there arc of heart or nerve trouble due to excess of poison in the leaf. Nicotine can-iie largely eliminated, however, by toasting the tobacco. This process renders il perfectly innocuous. Il also gives it its famous l,om|eut and incomparable Havotir. There arc only four lira nils of toasted on (lit! market —“R-iverhoad (.fold,” “Cavendish," “Navy Cut No. 3," and “Cut Plug No. JO." Of course there are imitations!
