An Auckland lady relates how she was accosted in. Queen street by a shabbily dressed man who beaded so hard for sixpence that at last she gave him one—and then followed to see what he would do. She expected he would make for a public house. But he bolted into the nearest tobacconist shop. He merged puffins a battered old briar, his face radiant! The indignant lady “told him off,” declaring he had wasted her sixpence! But was it wasted? That lady evidently didn’t know there is such a tiling as “tobacco-hunger.” But smokers know. They know, too, that it is sometimes as hard to endure as (lie craving for food. Perhaps it was in this instance? It certainly looked like it. Tobacco is immensely comforting when trouble comes. But to banish care it must be good—not the imported staff, often poisonous with nicotine—>-but the New Zealand article, practically “nicotineless” because it is toasted. Brands? There are four: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug 10. *“ T : ' ' 1 .
