WORD ONLY. If you stop and think a minute, you will realise how impossible it Is to depend upon certain words in the English language. There are some words which have been used so promiscuously that they have lost all significance. Take our English word “GlßL”—it means a female child anywhere between 3 and 21 years of age; but, nowadays, we call them all “girls” up to 100. When the baby’s sex is asked, we say “IT is a girl,” and, when you engage a 65 year old cook, she is still “a girl.” . Go into a Restaurant and ask for lamb, and you will probably get a two»year=o!d sheep—ask for chicken, and you are sure of getting hen. . . . . . . . If you are a smoker, you will have found out by now, that according to the Tobacconist, everything is “THE BEST,” “COOLEST SMOKING,” “SWEETEST,” and a few other superlatives In common use. The fact is, that you cannot, in the least, depend on adjectives when tobacco is up for discussion • but use one word only . Q e * HAVELOCK and; you have solved the problem. You will be handed a Tobacco that needs no adjectives, no bolstering up, and no other evidence than your own taste and observation. , , . , # EVERYBODY SMOKES -‘HAVELOCK” because it just SUITS everybody, and that’s all there is to it.
