The opinion that those who ride cycles at night without reflectors aro an outstanding danger, not only to themselves, but. to other members oF the travelling public, was expressed by Mr. A. J. Toogood at a meeting of the Wellington Automobile Club. "I cannot," said M, Toogood, conceive of a worse road for cyclists than that between Upper and Lower Hutt. while cyclists do not use- the cycling track provided for them alongside the Hutt Koad, but appear to prefer the bitumen roadway." Other members declare*! that the traffic that used the road at night between Upper Hutt and Wellington without lights was a perfect menace to other users of the highway. Thousands upon thousands of tons of tobacco are needed every year'to keep the world's pipe alight. America is a large producer, but other countries contribute—including New Zealand, where the tobacco industry promises to become of national importance. Already it finds employment for a rapidly iniTPasing body of workers, while it is of material assistance-to men on the land who have discovered that tobacco culture is well worth while. The New Zealand grown tobacco now on the market is of splendid quality—sweet, pure • and fragrant. When smoking proves injurious this -ia due to the presence in .the loaf of an excess of nicotine. The imported brands ore full of this poison. The Now Zealand brautfe are comparatively free from it, so that they can be smoked with perfect impunity. That's why the doctors approve of them. Onco you acquire a taste for these tobaccos no others will satisfy you. They are of various strengths, "Riverhaad Gold'' mild, "Naw Out" (Bulldog) medium, and "Cut Plug No. 10" (Bulkhead) is flavored. Any tobacconist will supply you. *
