‘'About bow many brands of tobacco do you reckon there .are, all told?'' inquired n Dunedin man of his smoke merchant. "Couldn’t say," replied the latter, "but my encyclopedia says about 500. ” "And all smokeable," went on the customer with a laugh, “Wouldn’t care to bet on that," said the tobacconist. "As you know there are brands mild enough for a baby and others strong enough to make your hair curl." "But surely," remarked the customer, "there must be brands that are comparatively free from nicotine:” “I know of only four like that,” said the tobacconist. "And where do they come from?" asked the customer. "They’re grown right here in New Zealand,’' replied the tobacconist, "and toasted in the course of manufacture.” That takes the poison out of them and leaves them sweet and fragrant —also quite harmless. Yes, I said four brands: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut i Plug No. .10. The customer said he’d I been told something worth remembering. He had. E 322
