“I am very perturbed at the use being made of -week-end camps,” said the Dominion Chief Commissioner, Mr. H. Christie, at the conference of the New Zealand Scouts’ Association, in Wellington. ‘‘l am all for week-end camps properly used, but liam sure that llie use being made of the .Sabbath is not in accordance with the wishes of the Chief Scout, Lord Baden Powell. I want to emphasise to commi.ssion.ers the importance of Sabbath observance in the conduct of camps, -and in realising that Sunday should mean a great deal in relationship to the life of the boy. There’s little enough reverence in the world to-day, and -we ought to hold fast to what wie have and keep proper observance of the Sabbath.

A girl -who advertised in an Auckland paper for a husband the other day mentioned some of her attractions, amongst them that she was a 'good cook,' 'considered good-looking' and didn’t smoke. • If this lady marries a non-smoker they'll live happily ever after, as the story-books say. But if she marries a -smoker there may be "family jars” sooner or later, to follow. Stevenson said no -woman ought to marry a man who didn't smoke, and there's no doubt at all that smokers, a-s a rule, are. far easier to get on with than non-smokers. "The pipe of peace” say the Indians, and smoking certainly makes for harmony in the home in moat cases. The most soothing, delightful, comfortable, solacing and cheering of all tobaccos, by the way, are the five toasted blends, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3. (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Hold and Desert. Gold, and being toasted, they’re comparatively -harmless. For many years before the public now they have won their way to popularity by sheer merit.
