THE MATCH AT CHRISTCHURCH.

A _____ MASTEIRTON,' March 1. ■ ■., The meeting hetween Rose arid Hahn set down., for'Wednesday evening has been postponed t* ll Thursday evening at the same time, owing to the postponement of the match at Christchurch. Smoker's heart is a distressing malady caused chiefly through the effects of an alkaloid called Nicotine which is extremely poisonous. Strong tobacco with a high percentage of nicotine should therefore be avoided. When selecting a brand, the smoker should not be guided by the appearance alone, because even an apparently mild cigarette tobacco, of !a bright lemon colour may contain—and often does contain—an excess of nicotine. It iis ia peculiar fact that certain New Zealand soils produce a • leaf with a very small percentage of nicotine, compared witth the foreign types. Take for instance our local brands, Rivershead Gold, Cut Plug No. 10, and. Toasted Navy Cut. There you have an absolutely.pure article which can be smoked continuously without the slightestVafter-effects, it burns to the last shred leaving the mouth sweet arid cleari. So highly is New Zealand tobacco commented upon by doctors and experts that smokers should acquaint themselves with the merits of our own product by giving the above brands a fair trial.*
