A fine specimen of a carved tobacco pipe of genuine Maori workmanship was knocked down in a Wellington auction room the otfipr day for 15s. A bargain! There arc plenty of carved pipes of allegedly Maori make about. Most of ’em were made in Birmingham. The genuine article is scarce, and worth money. Pipe carving is become a lost Maori art. Fortunately there’s plenty of New Zealand tobacco, though! And it’s not only of extraordinarily fine flavour sweet, cool, and fragrant, but, unlike the foreign brands is practically free from nicotine, so that you can smoke it all day long and feci no ill effects. This is duo in part to the soil in which it is grown, and in part to tho toasting of the leaf which process not only largely helps to eliminate tho nicootino but develops flavour anil bouquet. This tobacco is produced by the National Tobacco Co. (pioneers of tho N.Z. tobacco industry). Ask for “Riverhead Gold’’ (mild), “Cavendish (medium), “Navy Cut No. 3” (medium), or “Cut Plug No. 10” (full strength). Absolutely safe because of the toasting.—Advt,
