P. T. Bariuun, the famous American showman, was onco asked what invention or discovery had, m his opinion, contributed most to the source of human happiness and enjoyment. Without hesitation he replied- “The invention or discovery of smoking.” He wasn’t far wrong. Tobacco is like a good wife—it halves our sorrows and doubles our joys. i>ut it must be the right kind of tobacco. If full of nicotine, as so many of the imported brands arc, habitual indulgence in it must bo attended, ■ sooner or later, with evil consequences. Heart or nerves may become affected. By the way, our New Zealand-grown tobaccos are so pure and contain relatively so little nicotine that they may be freely indulged in with impunity. Thev don’t bite the tongue. Ihe toasting of the leaf (quite a new idea) develops the flavor, which is peculiarly pleasant, and they possess a delightful fragrance of their own. No. wonder they are capturing the market. Ask for Riverhead Gold, mild; Navy Cut, (Bulldog) medium; or Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) full strength.
