At the Wellington Police Court the other day while a witness was under examination, counsel suddenly hurried across to the ''box’ and told him he was “on fire.” Smoke was actually issuing from the man’s coat pocket although he was blissfully ignorant of the fact. When he hastily pulled out his pipe it was half-full of burning tobacco. It appeared that he had removed the pipe from his mouth when he entered the Court and thrust it into his pocket, and forgotten all about it. Smokers are often very "careless in that way—and in another way. They’ll go on smoking tobacco reeking with nicotine and never realise their danger until their health giA'es way. Nicotine, it cannot be too often insisted, is poisonous stuff and brands rich in it should be rigorously avoided. The safe and -sure way Is to smoke the gen nine “toasted.” The five brands of the real thing—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. -3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, and Desert Gold are unappfoached for quality, and being toasted are perfectly harmless.
