HIGH PRICES. A blue-white, drop-shaped 47-carat diamond which had been pawned was sold by auction recently in London for £14,500, realising the highest price for a single stone for many months. Whether the possession of this stone will bring the purchaser real happiness is a matter of conjecture, because as most of us know the really enjoyable things of life, such as good tobacco, cost comparatively little. It is difficult to imagine that a smoker having run out of Tobacco miles from the nearest store would appreciate the beauty of the stone valued at so many thousand pounds as much as he would a 2-oz. tin of Red Shield Dark or Blue Shield Medium at 1/7. There is no need to pay more for New Zealand Tobacco at its best — and Red Shield or Elue Shield in onepound canisters cost' even less. And, remember, they are Toasted to a turn —that’s why they’re better. 19

Jack: Where are you going this week-end? Jill: To bed probably if this cold doesn’t go away soon. I’m one of the unlucky sort who get heavy chest cough? keep them for months, lose strength and take months to get fit again. Those are the colds that need Baxter’s Lung Preserver most of all. “Baxter’s” clears the cold right out of the system. It has excellent tonic properties that build strength and resistance. “Baxter’s’’ has no equal. 1/6, 2/6 and 4/6 sizes at all chemists and stores.
