Cigarettes led to an amusing breach of promise case at Adelaide' recently. Juliet, it appeared, dotes on cigarettes, while Romeo loathes the sight—and smell—of them. So love’s young dream became a nightmare, and quarrels were frequent. At last the young man bluntly told the girl that if she would not give up smoking he'd have to give her up. Hence these tears. Amid roars of laughter some of the early love letters were read out in court. At last the judge, remarking that it seemed to be “a silly • lovers' quarrel,'' advised the parties to retire and see if they couldn’t “make it up." They did. The fascination that cigarettes posses for some women—men too—is simply irresistible. Look at the run on Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, the two leading cigarette blends, so fragrant and soothing. Both are “toasted.” That’s why they’re so good—and so harmless. There are also three toasted brands for the pipe, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish and Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). No finer tobaccos are manufactured. But beware of imitations
