Cigarettes led to an amusing breach of promise case at Adelaide recently. Juliet, it appeared, dotes on cigarettes, while Romeo loathes the sight—and smell —of them. So love’s young dream became a nightmare, and quarrels were frequent. At last the young man bluntly told the girl that if she wouldn’t give up smoking he’d have to give her up! Hence these tears! Amid roars of laughter some of the early love letters were read out in court. 'At last the judge, remarking that it seemed to be “a silly lovers’ quarrel,” advised the parties. to retire and see if they couldn’t “make it up.” They did! The fascination that cigarettes possess for some women—men too!— is simply irresistible! Look at the run on Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, the two leading cigarette blends, so fragrant and soothing! Both are “toasted.” That’s why they’re so good—and so harmless! There are also the toasted brands for the pipe, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, and Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). No finer tobaccos are manufactured. All toasted. No sore throat, no cough.—Advt.
