For a wager, two men at Brighton, England, recently matched themselves, one against the other, to see w'hich could smoko the most tobacco in n giveD time. The contest lasted for hours. The tobacco was American of medium strength. The winner smoked two and a quarter ounces. He looked as if he had harl more than enough when he put his pipe down. The loser was going strong when he collapsed. Heart. Fact is most of these American tobaccos are full of “.-juice” (nicotine), and nicotine in excess plays the dickens with heart and nerves. No tobacco is absolutely free from it, but our New Zealand grown brands contain so little that they are practically harmless. They can be smoked freely without causing any trouble. Even the doctors recommend them. Cool, sweet and fragrant, they appeal to all smokers. Try them. If you like a soothing mild aromatic ask for “Riverhead Gold,” or if you prefer something stronger, get some “Navy Cut” medium or “Cut Plug No. 10” full flavoured.* —7l
