Families, of 16, although quite common in the old day 6, are now almost unknown. It was with a good deal of interest that the members of the Relief Committee at Auckland listened to. a statement made by a person at present in ill-health, that she had 10 brothers and five sisters. The chairman said it was almost a record, although cases had been brought under their notice where there were 18 in a family, but he wished to compliment the family on its valuable contribution to the _ population of the country. It was quite easy_ to see that a father and mother rearing such a big family would have little chance of gathering much of this world's goods, but £hey had done something better, because each individual brought up in healthy surroundings and able to play their part in the battle of life added in every way to the development of the Dominion. Smokers who are niggardly of their 'baccy are rare. As a rule their pouch is at the service of almost anybody. Of course there are exceptions. Do you remember the story of the smoker who kept two pouches? One he called “the world,” the other “providence.” The first was always empty; the second always well filled. If asked for a fill he would regret that.he “hadn’t a bit in the world.” If questioned as to what he was going to do for himself he would say, “Oh, I must trust in providence.” Well, there are all kinds of smokers, just as there are all kinds of tobacco. By the way, have you tried our own N.Z. grown tobaccos? In some respects they are unique. For one thing they are all toasted. Hence their peculiarly delightful flavour; secondly they contain so little nicotine that they may be smoked “till the cows come home” without proving in jurious. That’s why the doctors ap prove, of them.
