OKI offenders, it is said, like the judge who tries them to he a smoker, reckoning tlitit if he is the clumces litre he will indulge in a pipe or cigar in life privacy of his own room while the jury is deliberating over their verdict and that the softening inlluenee of tobacco may possibly soften their sentences! An absurd idea of course, but law-breakers are like that —fanciful and superstitious to a degree. Of course, as all smokers know, tobacco is a wonderful soother and a great aid to reflection which is why almost all literary men are inveterate smokers. The most soothing tobacco, by the way as yet introduced to the public is the now famous “toasted.” tho live blends of which Cut Plug No. 10 (dlullsliead) Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Itiverhead Gold and Desert Gold with their line mellow flavour and fascinating bouquet are noted also for their purity which is largely due to the toasting they undergo and which helps so materially to eliminate the nicotine in them and thus render them comparatively harmless.
