NEWS IN BRIEF

I i First printing prem ia N.Z, 1835. j Fifty seven of'last 'yfear’s brides were 15 years o£ «j;ei' ' I The adder, England’s only poisonous j snake, is fouud'pdrticuWly in flampJ shire and Sussex. Sharks’ teeth are used as "money” in some of the Pacific Islands; while { in China they are mounted in gold to form attractive ornaments. 1 Canada’s department o! justice has decided that the Dominion is powerj less to prohibit the export of liquor to i the United States except by amend' merit of an Act of Parliament f | Steel houses, complete with "j bathi room, electric light, and central heati ing, and which can be constructed in | eight minutes and erected on their j sites in a few hours, are to be built in j Paris as part of a-housing scheme. For the weary pram-worker there • are worse ways of spending a welcome “night-off” than by the firoI side with pipe and book. But the ! tobacco for sued occasions should be 1 something that can be smoked with 1 enjoyment for three of four hours at i a stretch' without biting the tongue l or other unpleasant consequences. Where is such tobacco to be found? Why right here in New Zealand! 1 and it owes its excellence largely to being toasted. That’s why the flavour is so good and the aroma so fine. And that--is why, also, it contains so little nicotine, excess of which does all the harm when smoking ... proves .injurious. Imported ‘tobaccos .contain five or six per cent, of nicotine. Toasted tobaccos hardly any. And these are the only toasted tobaccos. They are the purest, most 1 innocuous and most delightful of all! Exclusively manufactured by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd. (pioneers cf the N.Z. tobacco industry), they appeal to all smokers. Popular brands: Riverhead Gold (mild and, mellow); Cavendish (the famous sporting mixture); Navy Cut (a very choice medium); and Cut Plug No, 10 (dark and full-flavoured).
