Somehow smoking seems to fit in with .ill moods. If a fellow is feeling

hipped as the result of “barking the wrong ’ini'' or having a difference of '•ninion with his boss, or anything like that., he flies for consolation to tobacco. If. on the other hand, he has had a bit of luck—■been remembered is somebody’s will, or had a “rise,’’ for instance—his first thought is his pipe, and h(> pulls it out and lights up. The great thing is to see your baccy is good and does not reek with nicotine like so many of those imported brands. It’s the nicotine that causes all the trouble. About the purest tobaccos are those grown in New Zealand. They contain only a little nicotine—that’s why they may be smoked at all time without doing any damagt to your constitution. And they are famous for llavour and fragrance. Ask your tobacconist for “Riverhead Gold' 1 ’ mild: “Navy Cut” (P»ulldog), medium; or “Cut Plug No. ID” (Bullshead), full. You can’t go J wrong with these brands. They are all toasted.—50.
