ALL MAY BENEFIT

SICKNESS PROVISIONS CO-OPERATION OF LODGES (By Tew*""'' \aanptfitlnm WELLINGTON, Tinirsday The Minister of Social Security, the Hon. W. Nash, said to-day that his attention had been drawn to a published summary or a circular issued by the Friendly Societies' Council regarding sickness. The summary gave the impression that sickness benefits were limited to persons who received friendly society sick pay. This, of course, was not correct and the circular itself did not state this. “Any qualified person who loses his livelihood through temporary sickness or accident may apply for the sickness benefit,” said the Minister. "Special arrangements have been made with the friendly societies concerning their members and the Government has appreciate.! their co-operation. Applicants who are not in friendly societies will apply direct to the Social | Security I >.-partmen! j A po'nl on the equator of the planet ! .Jupiter revolve., as far in one hour as j a point on the earth's equator revolves | about the axis in 24 hours.

A well-known Maorilander just returned from a trip Home, visited Birmingham in the course of his travels and was shown at a wholesale warehouse a lot of elaborately carved to-bacco-pipes of allegedly Maori origin. On enquiring the price he was asked whether he was “in the trade,” and unblushingly said “yes.” Of course he isn't. He merely wanted to get a little “inside information.” These pipes are made in Birmingham and get into the curio shops of London and elsewhere where they are sometimes sold at fancy prices to “collectors.” What a world! It isn't quite so easy to fake New Zealand tobacco because of its comparative freedom from nicotine —the result of the special purifying process it is put through at the 'factory, and which eliminates most of its nicotine and makes it safe io smoke to any extent. There are only five brands: Cavendish, Riv?rhead Gold, Desert Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 and Cut Plug No. 10. They are famous, every one of them, for their flavour and matchless fragrance. Of course they are being imitated —every good thing is. So mind what you buy!
