Recalling liis visit to San Francisco at a recent meeting of the Marl boron gh College Board of Governors, Mr. W. E. Gascoigne told how he visited a section of the famous Golden Gate Park which was devoted to New Zealand plants and trees (says the Ex T press). All the plants and trees were pabelled and it was a strange thing, Mr. Gascoigne remarked, that a man. 6000 miles from home, should learn the names of many trees of his own country. Dr. W. ‘E. Redman said it was an astonishing thing the number of people who did not know the names of the commonest shrubs and trees. The little discussion cropped up as a result of a recommendation from Mr. Charles Ferguson, as visiting committee, that all the plants and trees in the college ground he labelled. He considered that, it would he a. wise course for educational reasons. A lady doctor in England has just declared that, smoking is a wonderful preservative of the teeth, and that although the teeth of some smokers may be discoloured they are generally sounder than those of the non-smokers. So many hard things have been said about tobacco that it is refreshing to find a lady-—and a lady medico at that —putting in a good word for the weed. Of course every smoker knows that smoking prevents or arrests dental decay. What every smoker does not know, or at all events ignores, is that an excess of nicotine in tobacco is highly injurious. And that’s where our New Zealand tobaccos come in. Being comparatively free from nicotine they may be smoked almost incessantly without, affecting the nerves ot heart. Moreover they are all toasted —hence their fine flavour and delightful aroma. Made in several strengths they appeal to all tastes: Riverhead Gold, mild and aromatic; Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog;') is a fragrant medium; and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bull’s Head) a fine full flavoured tobacco. They are on sale everywhere.*
