There are many ways of keeping tobacco in a soft condition —a sliced apple for instance, or a raw potato, are often used — but. simpler still and certainly more effective, is the direct application oi water. Imported tobaccos usually carry an excess of moisture, and any addition would make them unsmokable. Different it is with our N.Z. grown brands. Gold Pouch and Three Diamonds. which, on account of the special toasting process applied in their manufacture, are capable of absorbing a large percentage of moisture. One ounce of water added to 2 ounces of this tobacco will make the latter quite pliable and soft, and prevent it from burning away too quickly. The saving is extraordinary. For I,'- the purchaser gets practically 3 ounces of tobacco with no more moisture than is contained in the majority of foreign brands, and a healthier and superior smoke. 14
