Such a horror of loba.ca-siißokcluid “Victoria the Good" that those of her guests at any of the Royal palaces who chanced to be smokers wore 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 slmoke and even exalted personages puff away freely 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 Blag No. 10 (Bulkhead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Rivcrhead Cold and Desert ’Gold. But take care what you buy. Worthless imitations are on the market
