A ragged old fellow, charged at Melbourne with stealing a tin of tobacco from a grocer’s shop owned up, but pleaded that he was an old smoker and sometimes when he hid no money suffered acutely 'iirom ‘'tobacco-hun-ger.” So when he went, to the grocer’s to make some small purchase and saw the tobacco on the counter the temptation proved irresistible, and he fell for it! Taking his age into .account and that he was unknown to the police the magistrate discharged him with a caution. It appeared that he was 85, and had been smoking for nearly 70 years. Anti-tobaceoite s please note. Wonder what lie’s been smoking all these years? Must he something like our celebrated “New Zealand Toasted.” You can smoke this beautiful tobacco till you are 85, if you like. It can’t hurt you because there’s so little nicotine in it. And it’s so soothing and comforting! Five brands only, remember! Cavendish, Cut, Flug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Dosert Gold and Riverhead Gold. But watch out for worthless imitations! Advt.
