Tobacconists were amongst tho heaviest sufferers at the hands of tho rabble during the Auckland riots in April. Tobacco, cigars and cigarettes, o say nothing of pipes and sundries were removed by the sackful. Tho thieves certainly showed some discrimination in their choice of the weed. They went for the best, and many big tins of “New Zealand toasted” were among the loot. Well it certainly says something for tho popularity of this tobacco when even robbers exhibited a marked preference for it. Their partiality is shared by many thousands of law-abid-ing citizens in the various centres of population where the well known brands Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10 arc in general request and are acknowledged to bo not only delightful smoking but remarkably free from nicotine, that deadliest of poisons. This is entirely due to the tobacco undergoing a special purifying process in tho course of manufacture and which renders it harmless to tho smoker. But buyers should bo careful to see they get what they ask for. There are imitations! 292
