Have you ever noticed that the most inveterate enemies of tobacco are frequently those who cannot smoke be cause smoking disagrees with them?— and being unable to smoke themselves they object to everybody else smoking. A tremendous amount of nonsense has been written and uttered regarding the “injurious” effects of the weed. But as a matter of fact tobacco lias benefited far more people than it has harmed. When it does work harm it is because it contains an excess of nicotine, as most of the imported brands do. And that’s just where they differ from our own New Zealand grown which while containing- very little nicotine are yet' so full of flavour and fragrance that they appeal irresistibly to smokers. These delightful brands (which may be smoked for long spells without causing any unpleasant effects) are manufactured in various strengths to suit all smokers. Those most in request are “Riverliead Gold” mild, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullskead) full strength. Try them, you will find them superior to lion-toasted tobaccos. (53)

“We hear a lot about wasters when the question of unemployment is discussed,” said Mr. James Roberts at the Labour Hall at Invercargill, “but I would like you to come with me, say to Dunedin. There you will see the Charleston kings at the cabarets —wasp-waisted young New Zealanders, whose only hobbies are motorcars, flappers and jazz. They toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. They have nothing to do because their people have plenty of money, but nevertheless they have to be kept and they are just as much wasters, as the won’t work wage-earners.”
