London’s latest Anti-Tobacco Society has started with the avowed object of “putting everybody’s pipe out.’’ Some contract! Why these good people who object so strongly to tobacco cannot be content to abstain from it themselves without trying to force everybody to follow suit is the question. Tobacco comforts and solaces millions every day. Professor Oglethorpe, the famous scientist, insists that the harmfulness or otherwise of the weed depends entirely on the brand. Tobaccos heavily charged with nicotine (as most of the imported brands are) he condemns as unsafe, but he considers toasted tobaccos with their trifling nicotine content as not only harmless but in many cases positively beneficial. When it comes to purity there’s nothing superior to the New Zealand, produced by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd. (pioneers of the N.Z. tobacco industry). Sweet, cool and fragrant, this tobacco possesses a wonderful appeal for smokers. Popular brands “Riverhead Gold’’ (mild and aromatic), “Cavendish” (the sportsman’s smoke), “Navy Cut No. B” (a blend of choice leaf), and “Cut Plug No. 10” (rich, dark and full-flavoured). —R.M. 37.*
