A further successful card evening was held l>y members of the Hawera Bowling Club at the pavilion last evening. There was a good attendance, and the winner of the progressive 500 was Mr S. R. Yeiteli. The silent prize was won by A. E. Spratt. It was announced during the evening that the next tournament on October 1, would he the last of the series. Another enemy of the weed! A 'Manchester medical man, writing to the press, denounced smoking as “an idle, vicious and injurious habit,” and deplored the waste of money it entailed. He would make it a misdemeanour, and suppress the traffic in tobacco utterly, “as subversive of the Public welfare.” Fancy that now! What about the suppression of the licpior traffic in America? Does not the result of that experiment demonstrate the absolute futility of coercion, and the sheer impossibility of making people virtuous by legislative enactment? Bad tobacco, poisonous with nicotine, is admittedly responsible for j much mischief. But millions find good I tobacco of inestimable value, and assuredly the world would be the poorer without the beneficent influence of such tobacco, for example, as our own “New Zealand toasted.” With its rare fragrance and incomparable flavour it is really helpful in dispelling gloom, softening sorrow, and making life better worth living. 'The five brands, 'Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 | (Bulldog), Biverhead Gold, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) and Desert Gold I are true “comforters,” and being 1 toasted are perfectly harmless. —Advt.
