"No, chewing is not a refined habit," said the wholesaler to the reporter, with a laugh, "but it's going out. 'Most everybody smokes now. Where does all the tobacco com# from? Why, chiefly from America, of course. But other couhtries contribute, and it's astonishing what a lot of toasted New Zealand tobacco goes up in smoke! The true toasted, of course, I meah. The manufacturers turn it out by the ton, and the bigger the output the greater the demand, seemingly. Why so popular? Well, to begin with, the quality's O.K. There's nothing like it! Secondly, the toasting purifies — almost eliniinates the nicotine, and hlakes theoe blends perfectly safe to smoke. You can't overdo it with the genuine toasted — Cut Plug No. 10 (Builshead) , Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog) , Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and DeserUGold. How is the toasting done? Sorry, but I can't tell you. That's the manufacturers secret. But I've seen the process at the faetory. Wohderfull.y ingenious!" The scribe; well satisfied with his "story," shut up his note-book and vanished.
