There have been .10 bankruptcies m Christchurch this year, which is 20 less than the total for last year. “Pardon me. Sir,” remarked a man aboard an • Auckland ferry-boat the other day to a. fellow-passenger, but what tobacco are you smoking. It lms a beautiful bouquet.’’ “New Zealand Cut Plug No. 10,’ replied the stranger. “I’m a heavy smoker, and like the toasted because it’s so free from nicotine. Tho toasting cuts out the poison. Can’t smoke more than a pipe or two of some of the imported. It’s so full of nicotine. You can smoke a barrel-full of the toasted without hurting yourself. The toasting leaves it pure, sweet and fragrant. I reckon," said the other, greatly interested, “there are piore brands than oiui?” “There are four. AH different strengths^—Riverliead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10. Thev are all good, but as art old smoker I prefer a full-flavored sort like tbe Cut Plug No. 10. Will you try a fill?” The invitation was readily accepted, and before the boat reached North Shore the merits of “New Zealand Toasted” were warmly appreciated by one more devotee of the weed.* . ,
