"What a shocking waste of money!” Thus counsel (a notorious tobaccohater) during the hearing of a case at Brisbane not long since, when he elicited from defendant that the latter con-

sumed half-a-pound of tobacco every week. “That’s a matter of opinion,” sharply replied defendant. “I reckon I get better value for my money than if for instance, I squandered it on horse-racing, or cards.” Counsel (a notorious gambler) subsided. Perhaps he was wise. Possibly he is like the man who “compounds for sins he is inclined to by damning those he has no mind to.” Money expended on good tobacco is never wasted. Especially is this the case in New Zealand, where our Dominion-grown and manufactured tobacco is in universal use. Toasted, and consequently all but free from nicotine, it does not affect throat, heart or nerves. All five brands —Riverhead Gold. Desert Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). Cavendish, and Cut Plug No 10 (Bullshead), are as sweet, fragrant and delightful as they are soothing and comforting. They appeal irresistibly to all smokers.*
