The great increase in the number of smokers in London — particularly amongst women — according -to a recent cable, has led the Managers of the underground railways to transpose their smoking-carriage rules. There are now no smoking-carriages on these lines, but 30 per cent, of the cars are labelled "Non-Smokers." It will come to that In New Zealand by-and-bye.

Anti-tobacco-ites may rail against the huge increase in the consumption of the weed. But smoking does moregood than harm, provided the tobacco is of first-rate quality and as free from nicotine as possible. That's where our New Zealand tobaccos come in. The leaf is toasted — quite a novel idea — and this develops flavour and fragrance astonishingly. And as they contain only a negligible amount of nicotine they may be smoked for hours on end without causing unpleasant or injurious consequences. That's why medical men approve them. You can get them of any strength. "Riverhead Gold" is a delightful aromatic, "Navy Cut" (Bulldog) a delicious medium, and "Cut Plug No. 10" (Bullshead) a fine full-flavoured variety.*
