Doctor asked if I smoked much. I told him. Four packets a day. He clicked his tongue. “Cut ’em out,’ be says. Then lie laughed. “Don’t like my prescription?” says he, ‘well drop the packet cigarettes and roll your own. Dae toasted New Zealand, Then you can smoke all you want. No harm in toasted—practically free from nicotine.’ “Well, I took his tip. Nerves quieted down after a bit. Right as rain now !—and I’m saving money. Rolling your own comes a heap cheaper than ready mades.” “Don’t I know it,” says the other chap. “Roll my own my self. Smoke Desert Gold. Splendid I—and mind you one fresh rolled cigarette is worth fifty machine made.” Carried unanimously ! There are only five brands of toasted, all" told—Cut Plug No 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 ( Bulldog), Cavendish, Desert Gold and Riverhead Gold. Delicious, all five—and so harmless ! Deputising for Wife. “So you’re the oldest inhabitant of the village?” “Well, my wife is really, but she doesn’t like people to know her age, so I deputise for her.”
