Those who are interested in Dr Barnado’s Homes in London, will, no douot be pleased to learn that they can help onside/ably by collecting all the old stimps of their envelopes, and forwarding these 1 ■ the Secretary for the use of this goodc.nse.

Be sure to tear well away Tom s' amp so as .101 to damage the edges. If . 1 businesspeople, school teachers and [linkers, pu* something handy to hold tne 0,? stamps, it would be little trouble, and soon it worn 1 become a habit to save every stamp, so with very little .work, they could help a cause, that needs money, iw more t: a ever,. and also interest n any in this work in saving the .unfortunate children of the slums.

A prophet, they say, has no, honour in hi§ own country, and it has been too much the policy of New Zealanders in the past to pass ovc the product of their own country in favour of the imported goods, which, in many cases are actually inferior to the New Zealand article. Take tobacco for example. Most American tobaccos are objectionable on the score of excess nicotine, and defective combustibility, leading to the clogging of the pipe, with unpleasant, and indeed injurious, consequences to the smoker. Try Riverhead Gold mild and aromatic, or Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog) of medium strength, and if you prefer a full body, try Cut Plug No. to, the Bullhead label. Their purity, flavour, aroma and all round excellence will surprise you. Unlike most brands from oversea this particular type of tobacco does not foul the pipe and leaves the mouth sweet and clean. Experts maintaim that of all varieties known N.Z. leaf is the least injurious on account of its small percentage of nicotine and that it may be smoked continuously without the slighest after effects.
