The ladies used to say they “couldn’t bear tobacco smoke”, that it made them “quite ill.” Now they’ll tell you, most of them anyhow, that “they just love it.” Which is doubtless why they rush the smoking compartment on the trams and trains, so that the men who are “hungering for a whiff” are of.en “crowded out.” Tobacco smoke is certainly pretty powerful sometimes. Tobacco highly charged with nicotine will produce it. Brands of that sort mo-tly come from Yankeekind, and their habitual use (owing to the excess of nico.ine they contain) •nay affect the eyesight, heart and nerve?, ’ihe doctors know! Moral: If you indulge, see that your tobacco is ] ure. The purest tobaccos obtainable are produced in New Zealand. Sweet, cool and fragment, they appeal to all smokers. And being comparatively free from nicotine they may be smoked from sunrise to sunset —and after—without fear of consequences. Ask any tobacconist for “Riverhead Gold” (mild). “Navy Cut” o r (both medium) or “Cut Plug No. 10” (full strength). —l3O.
