J-2 steers sold at from £3 15s to Ao 5s (the latter being the top price at) the sale); 17 heifers from £2 2s to £2 16d; and cows to £2 ss. t A crop of barley on Mr P. Helds farm, Lower Shotover, yielded 7U bushels to the acre. Poppy Day was held in Arrowtown and district on Saturday. The complete returns are not yet .available, but it is undersood that all the poppies sent out by the local committee were disposed of • . “There can he no question, says Dr. Ernest Moorcroft, well-known as a nerve spec Lads I, “that nervous disorders have greai ly increased of late years, and I am lof the opinion that smoking is largely, responsible. Not that I object to smoking, for I happen to he a smoker myself. But it is essential that the tohicoo should he ot the purest. Unfortunately most tobaccos contain a dangerously high percentage of nicotine, and which may have a disastrous effect on the nervous system. They seem to attach more importance to this fact in New Zealand where the locally grown and manufactured tobacco is all toasted, the object being to extract the nicotine. This it certainly does, for New Zealand tobacco is perhaps the purest in the woild and owing to the toasting, certainly the most harmless. It possesses* moreover, a fine flavour and a peculiarly delightful fragrance. I know because I have sampled the goods.” The doctor refers to the popular brands Riverhead Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 and Cut Plug No. 10, because these are the only toasted tobaccos. \
