“What struck one about Germany was the cleanliness of the streets and the fact that everybody seemed busy/’ stated Mr. C. G. C. Dernier, of Cheltenham, in relating to members of the executive of the Manawatu and West Coast Dairy Companies’ Association yesterday some impressions of his recent trip abroad. “It you drop a tram ticket in the street you are lined. You get a feeling that everybody is working and hard at it. It had an effect on you that made you realise that, it tve went to war with Germany, they would be a hard proposition.” Air. Dernier added that in France the people seemed ‘ ‘ a giddy lot ’ ’ and gave the im-. pression that not much reliance cjbuld be placed on them.

Such a horror of tobacco-smoke had “Victoria the Good” that those of her guests at any of the Royal palaces who chanced to be smokers were compelled, if they craved a whiff, to indulge in their bedrooms after retiring for the night, with their heads up the chimney —lest perchance the tell-tale fumes should give them away! This seems almost incredible to-day when both sexes smoke and even exalted personages puff away freely and unashamedly, and sometimes even to excess. Excessive smoking, by the way, is not always wise, but it needn’t worry Maorilanders because ”toasted” is always at their service. It’s the tobacco full of nicotine that does the harm. But there’s very little nicotine in toasted. It’s cut out by the toasting. So you run no risks with these beautiful tobaccos, so sweet, pure, cool and fragrant—and so comparatively harmless. Five brands only of the genuine toasted: Cut Plug No, 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. But take care what you buy. Worthless imitations are on the market!
