What, is th© least injurious form of smoking? The doctors favour the pipe. So does Mr. Baldwin, the ex-premier of England. He considers pipe-smokers take a wider and saner view of things thfun other 7 smokers. Anyhow the pipe has much to recommend it. But what of tlie tobacco? That is al-im ortant.

Brands heavily charged with” nicotine, » (like the imported) cannot be smoked habitually with safety. Heart,' nerves, eyesight or general health are bound to be affected sooner or later. In marking contrast are our New Zealand grown tobaccos (exclusively manufactured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd., pioneers of the N.Z. tofecco industry). These are all toasted (the only brands that are), and this process eliminates the nicotine, and renders the absolutely safe, no xnattxu; how freely they are smoked. And how . cool, sweet and fragrant they are! wonder the doctors recommend tpem. Ask for Riverhead Gold (aromatic), Owendish (medium), Navy Gub (medium), or Cut Plug No. }Q strength). These brands are on safe everywhere.

At a. meeting of the Nelson Fireblight Committee the opinion was expressed that real source of danger was to lie found in the possibility of orivate * individuals bringing cuttings of trees, shrubs, or plants from firebliglit affected areas in their personal luggage. In view of the fact that it might not be generally known that it was against the Government regulations to bring trees, shrubs, plants, or cuttings from the North Island without a permit, it was decided-to take steps to make the fact more generallv known, and thus lessen the Clanger of fireblight* being introduced into tlie district.
