Roars of laughter* greeted a speaker at a social gathering at Wellington the other night. “My first pipe” was his theme. “When I was 16,” he said, “I thought I’d like a smoke. A real smoke —not a cigarette. So I borrowed an old briar of my father’s —in blissful ignorance of how ‘seasoned’ it was! I filled u,p with some of Dad’s favourite mixture—strong as dynamite! (Laughter). Pretty soon I was ill! Like the chap who was seasick I was afraid I was going to die—then I was afraid I wasn't. (Laughter). A year later I tried again. I filled up a brand new' pipe with New Zealand toasted tobacco, and enjoyed that smoke so much I have been smoking located ever since.” (Laughter and applause). The difference twixl ordinary tobacco and toasted tobacco is certainly astonishing! The ordinary stuff is sometimes full of nicotine, 'rhe toasted is practically free from the poison. The toasting does it. There are only four brands of toasted — Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. in. Delicious!—D.267.—Advt.
Children love the taste of TONKING’S LINSEED EMULSION. Give them a dose every night and morning. It -will keep them free from coughs and colds. Get a botle to-day and see for yourself. 1/6, 2/6 and 4/6.—A(Jvt.
