Scene: Smoker o£ 'city tram-car. Stern-faced, anti-tobaceoite, addressing stranger opposite, puffing a liuge pipe with evident enjoyment. * ‘Do you know, my friend, there’s enough poison in that pipe of yonrs to kill a field-nvouse or 37 blue-bottle flies?” The smoker: “That so? Well if T ever see a field-mouse smoking a pipe I’ll toll the cat.” Joking apart, there’s a lot of nonsense talked and written about smoking. So long as the tobacco is pure and as free from nicotine as possible it can’t do much harm. But there’s the rub. Those imparted tobaccos just, reek with nicotine. That’s why their habitual use is so injurious. Our own New Zealand tobaccos, on the other hand, are almost free from nicotine, so that you can indulge in them to your heart’s content with perfect safety. Also owing to the toasting of the leaf, their flavour is simply delicious and their fragrance delightful. Purer or choicer brands money cannot buv. Ask for “Eivcrhead Gold” mild, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, or “Cut P’uw” No. 10 Bullshead full. : 79
