The long train had come to a halt at a wayside station when an official popped his head into a first-class compartment and barked "put out that pipel This ain't a smoking-kerridge. No smoking allowed there!" "I'm not smoking aloud," said the offending passenger, "I never do! Wouldn't think of it!" "Coo—think you're funny dontcher?" snorted the official, "but if you keep on breaking the regulations there's going to be trouble—see?" "Yes, I see perfectly well thank you. Nothing wrong with my eyesight." The official glared—but suddenly smiled, said "Thank you, Sir! " and passed ou. By the way the very best baccy for a long railway journey is "toasted"; it always smokes cool and sweet. Also you can smoke pipeful after pipeful and never get fed up. Doesn’t burn the tongue or irritate the throat because toasting gets the "bite" clean out of it. The five genuine toasted brands, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead C Id and Desert Gold are simply unapproached for quality and full of comfort.
