“Como now,'-' snicl counsel in a recent South Island case, “you say you are a moderate smoker. llow many pipes do you smoke a day?” The witness hesitated. “Well,” said he, counting on his fingers, “one before breakfast, two after breakfast, two after lunch, two after dinner, and sometimes one in the middle of the night.” (Laughter in court.) “That makes eight,” remarked counsel. “Not so bad for a moderate smoker! Why, if I were to indulge to that extent I’d soon be bowled over.” “Not if you smoked New Zealand tobacco, same as I do,” rejoined witness. “It’s as different from the imported as chalk from cheese. The American tobaccos are full of nicotine and often undermine the health. The New Zealand is all but free from nicotine. Can’t hurt you however much you smoke. It’s toasted. That’s why.”’ Counsel was evidently impressed." The witness was right. New Zealand tobacco IS different. Delightful smoking, too, and quite harmless. Four brands only: Eiverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10. 236 Ladies’ Matchless Shoes, made in New Zealand. All kinds to select from, at Carpenter & Evans’ Quality Shoe Store.
