P. Van Kempen, the crack Dutch cyclist, who recently won the Wembley six-day race, is one of the biggest money-earners in the sport, but has not earned his cash without risks. At Rotterdam last year he fell and dislocated his neck in a six-day race. He was unconscious for 12 hours. His partner carried on while doctors and trainers worked at top speed on the unconscious champion. They pulled his neck back into position and Van Kempen returned to the truck to win the race by half a lap.

That famous writer of ‘Thrillers,” Edgar Wallace, was a great smoker. Like so many literary men he sought —and found—inspiration in tobacco. Affixed to a wall of his study lie had a big pipe-rack holding perhaps a. dozen pines, and it was his practice before sneaking into the dictaphone he always used (lie never used a lien) to “load” three or four pipes so that directly lie had smoked out one lie could light another, without interrupting his train of thought. But tobacco is just- as necessary to brain workers in other walks of life. The harassed business man, the scientist faced with some abstruse problem, and many others find solace in the weed. In all such cases there is nothing like a good comfortable smoke, and no tobacco half so refreshing as "toasted” Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish. Rlverhead Gold and Desert Gold. “Why toasted?" it used to be asked. Now every smoker knows that toasting eliminates the poisonous nicotine (common to all tobaccos) and renders “toasted” pure, sweet, fragrant and very comforting.*
