Owing to the death of King George the send-off to the Rev. A. Fotheringham, to have been held in the Presbyterian Church this evening, has been cancelled. According to etiquette a flag, •wlierl being hoisted to half-mast, should be first hoisted to the truck of the mast and then lowered to half-way. And, again, when the flag is being lowered it should first be raised to the top of the mast before being taken down. All flags should be flown from 8 a.m. to sunset. ■

Further reports are to hand of pinus insignis trees dying prematurely. These have come from as far afield as Stanway, Rongotea, Kairanga and Fitzherbert. On more than one class of soil trees have been affected. When the trouble was first reported, it was stated that the trees were probably suffering from the very dry weather experienced a year before. The explanation does not appear sound, as the past seven months have been very wet, as was the autumn prior to ■that.

We all run risks every day that Are practically unavoidable. Who knows, for example, that the occupant of the next seat in tram, bus, or train is not suffering from ’flu, or something else that’s catching? And there may not be another seat vacant for you —so you just have to chance it. A great safeguard when travelling is to keep pipe, or cigarette going. Tobacco smoke is a wonderful disinfecant. The tobacco should be of good quality, and whether for disinfecting purposes or pure enjoyment “toasted” is the best- It’s famous for its purity, flavour and aroma, and so comparatively harmless that even overindulgence won’t affect you. The toasting (manufacturer’s own process) is the secret. It is toasting that eliminates the nicotine and renders this beautiful tobacco safe. The five genuine toasted brands, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Rivei'head Gold and Desert Gold, are everywhere in evidence. Go where you will you’ll find them on sale. But be sure when buying you are getting the real thing. Imitations are worthless. 557
