Consternation reigned amongst the smokers; on the platform at "Wellington the other day when the Hutt train drew up, minus a smoking carriage. However, there were two cars labelled "A'j and "B" respectively, and somebody, pipe m mouth, exclaimed, " B is for baccy!" jumped into the "B," all Ithe other smokers following suit. Presently someone asked, "If 'B is for bac(|y,.*Yvhat is 'A' for?" "For abstainers, of course!" came the reply. Everybody -laughed. Precious fe\v abstainers from the weed nowadays! there's no Harm m tobacco, so long as it's pure and I pretty free '.from nicotine. Worst of it? is the imported goods, are as full of nicotine as they can stick! Funny — our ~N.Z. brands'* are almost entirely free from the poison. That's -why yoii can smoke .them •'(even -to' excess) with safety! The explanation is they are all toasted, and toasting .gets rid of the nicotine. It also wonderfully improves flavour and bouquet. Popular brands: Navy Cut, Cavendish, Cut Plug No. AO, an& Riverhead Gold. They're, all good, and the' only toasted tobaccos manufactured.*
