Such a horror of tobacco smoke had "Victoria the Good" that those of her guests at any of the Royal paiaccs. who chanced to be smokers were compelled if they craved a whiffy to indulge in their bedrooms after retiring for the night with their heads up the chimney—lest perchance the tell-tale fumes should give them away! This seems almost incredible today when both sexes smoke and even exalted personages pufT away freely and unashamedly, and sometimes even to excess. Excessive smoking, by the way, is not always wise, but it needn't worry Maori-landers, because "toasted" is always at their service. It's the tobacco full of nicotine that does the harm. But there's, very little nicotine in toasted. It's cut out by the toasting. So you run no risks with these beautiful tobaccos so sweet 3 ? pure, cool and fragrant—and so comparatively harmless. Six brands only of the genuine toasted—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bulkhead), Navy Cut No. (Bulldog) Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold and Pocket Edition. But take care what you buy. Worthless imitations arc on the market!
