Jt is the roasting of coffee berries that results in the development of the exquisite flavour so much appreciated by coffee drinkers. That is well known. But it is not so well known that our New Zealand-grown tobaccos are now subjected to the same roasting or toasting process, and with the same result. The flavour is brought fully out, while at the same time the deleterious properties of the tobacco arc destroyed. All tobaccos, no matter where grown, have this in common—that they contain nicotine, some more, some less. And it is this poison that is. chiefly responsible for the sufferings of those who indulge too freely in the use of the fragrant weed. Heart and nerves are generally affected and often the eyesight. Scientists now tell us that toasting neutralises part of the nicotine and that toasted tobacco may, therefore, be smoked with impunity. They recommend Riverhead Gold, miid and aromatic; Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium strength; and the full bodied Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullhead label). All are toasted.* “ALL BLACKS” SCORE CARDS. Retailers who display Q-tol or Fluenzol in their windows should send a halfpenny postcard to Fluenzol Pty. Ltd., Box 1018, Wellington, to that effect. A supply of itinerary cards will then be sent for issue to their customers, also blotters and 1925 calendars later. —1
