A ragged old fellow, charged at Melbourne with stealing a tin of tobacco from a grocer’s shop owned up, but pleaded that he was an old smoker and sometimes when he had no money suffered acutely from “to-bacco-hunger.” So when he went to the grocer to make some small purchase and saw’ the tobacco on the counter the temptation proved irresistible, and he fell for it! Taking his age into account and that he w’as unknown to the police the magistrate discharged him with a caution. It appeared that he was 85, and had been smoking for nearly 70 years. Anti-tobaccoites please note. Wonder w'hat he’s been smoking all these years ? Must be something like our celebrated “New'’ Zealand Toasted.” You can smoke this beautiful tobacco till you are 85, if you like. It can’t hurt you because there’s so little nicotine in it. And it’s so soothing and comforting! Five brands only, remember!: Pocket Edition, Cut Plug No. 10 (BuUshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Desert Gold and Riverhead Gold. But watch out for worthless imitations !
