, Mark Twain once said: "Woman !s tt (jonundrum — but I will never give her up!" This was m allusion to the changeable views of the adorable se?:. The sex ds certainly apt to alter its point of view. Time was when ladies "qouldn't bear tobacco smoke—sa id it ma.de *hem "ill." In those dayu father and the boys had to seek the seclusion of the coal-house or the back-, yard when they wantad a whiff. Nowadays ! the girls — young, old and middle-aged — will tell you when tobacco-smoke is mentioned .that they "love it!" Well. . there are worse habits than smoking, and so long as the "baccy" is good arid not overcharged with nicotine it • won't hurt anyone. Apropos of that, it's a pity the imported tobaccos are so full of nicotine. How Is it? Our N.Z. brands are almost free from it.' You can smoke 'them "till further orders'' and take no harm. Sweet, cool and fragrant they appeal irresistibly to. all smokers. All tobacconists stock them. Ask for "Riverhead Gold",' (mild), "Navy Cut" (Bulldog) medium or "Cut Plug . No. ; 10" (Bulishead) V tu\\strength.* -V ■' v •;■.-. :..'■ .-■.■;

WHERE VI GI LANCE IS USELESS. An alert, active man .or . woman usually feels that their 'keen ' vigilance will keep. them out of danger. But nlost accidents are uripreventable— due to" forces f outside of one's control. When, laid 1 up as a result of accident one's earning power ceases— yet living expenses continue— and medical attention adds, to them. An accident policy m the Mercantile and General Insurance' Company relieves all. financial anxiety." This New Zealand owned Company settles claims promptly. Subscribed Capital, £250,000.
