THE CHRISTCHURCH HIGHWAYS

BIG RECONSTRUCTION SCHEME. i CHRISTCHURCH, Oct. 19. E-econstruction of . the highways of Christchurch at a total cost of over £1,000,000 is suggested in a very comprehensive report on the streets and bridges of'the city, which was considered by the City Council in. committee last evening. The council discussed also recommendations by the W’orks Committee, which had considered the report at six special meetings. The council approved recommendations that were placed before it and instructed Messis (?. R. Hunter and E. H. Andrews and the engineer, Mr A. R| Galbraith, to submit further recommendations regarding the streets on which money is to be spent. The total estimated'* cost of the proposals is £1,137,000. Scent: Smoker of city tram-car. Stern-faced, anti-tobaccoite, addressing stranger opposite, puffing a huge pipe with evident enjoyment.

“Do you know, my friend, there’s enough poison in that pipe of yours to kill a field-mouse dr 37 blue-bottle flies?” The smoker: “That so? Well if ever I see a field-mouse smoking a pipe I’ll tell the cat.” Joking apart, there’s a lot of nonsense talked and written about smoking. So long as the tobacco -is pure and as free from nicotine as possible it can’t do much harm. But there’s the rub. Those imported tobaccos just reek With nicotine. That’s why their habitual use is so injurious. Our own New Zealand tobaccos, on the other hand, are almost free from nicotine, so that you can indulge in them to your heart’s content with perfect safety. Also owing to tho toasting of the leaf, their flavour is simply delicious and their fragrance delightful:: Purer or choicer brands money cannot buy. Ask for “Riverhead Gold” mild, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead) full flavour.—79.
