The other day a wife (middle-aged) applied at a country police -court near Auckland for a separation order. Asked to explain she complained that her husband was always smoking his pipe about the house when at home, although he knew how she detested the smell of tobacco smoko. “I’m fair fed up,” declared the lady. “I’m afraid,” -said- the magistrate, with a smile, “that I cannot grant an order simply because your husband smokes. Smoking is not a crime, and it makes-, believe me, for harmony in the home. But what kind of tobacco does vour husband smoke?” The applicant named the brand. “ H’m,” said his Worship, “I know it. It’s pretty strong, certainly. Reeking with nicotine! Tell vour .husband to try toasted New Zealand. The toasting expels the nicotine, and it’s so fragrant that no one can object to it. Quite harmless, too.” Applicant withdrew. There are five 'brands of this incomparable tobacco: Riverhcad G-old’., Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead) and Desert Gold. They’re ■unequalled for the pipe and make beautiful cigarettse. —Advt.
