At Wanganui Police Court, Mr Barton, S.M., was asked to make an order against a defaulting debtor because he was spending 1/6 a week on tobacco! His Worship was reported to say: ."I can sec no more reason for cutting off debtor's tobacco than for cutting off the sugar in his tea." The Magistrate apparently recognised that the habitual smoker would go without tea -altogether rather than give up his pipe. To a great many men tobacco is not a luxury—it is a necessity. Tobacco haters say it is highly injurious. It isn't so long as it's pure and good. Imported brands, everyone knows, contain far too much nicotine to be- safe. But it is totally different with the New Zealand tobaccos. Being toasted —as no other tobaccos arc—they are freed from nicotine poison and rendered quite harmless even though you smoke them to excess. There are several brands—every smoker knows "Cut Plug No. 10," "Kivcrhead Gold," "Navy Cut" and "Cavendish," and knows moreover how good they arc.*
