At an up-country police-court the other day a tramp was charged with stealing a tin of tobacco from a local general store. It appeared that the man had entered the store to buy matches, found no one behind the counter —and fell for the ’baccy. He pleaded guilty and his counsel urged that shop-keeper/? had no right to put temptation in the way of casual callers by exposing toibacco for sale on their counters—especially tobacco of the popular New Zealand toasted sort, as in this case. The plea wan ■•ather a novel one but it proved effective with the two justices on the 3ench, and incidentally sjerved as ? fine advertisement for New ZeaKnd toasted tobacco. The toasting procow rids the leaf of nearly all its nicotine and imparts to it its fine flavour and delicious bouquet. You can smoke this tobacco freely without risk to health. There are only c o"r brands—Hi verhead Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3, and Cut Pluu N. 10. But of course there are imitations.—Advt.
