Bright and early the other morning nn old Maori woman, wearing a man’s battered felt, hat and brightly coloured shawl was seated on the steps of A warehouse in Customs Street, Auckland, calmlv smoking a blackened clay pipe. Two smartly dressed laughing girls passed. Said one: i •''How happy the old thing looks!" •‘She's enjoying her after-breakfast pipe,” said the other. They seemed much amused. ”1 wonder,’ said the first, "what kind of tobacco she smokos —must be something special, I should say." "Let’s go back and ask her” said her friend, "just for fun.” So back they wont and asked her. The old dame smiled, and said "Cut Plug No. 10,” adding that she always smoked it.

And they have another outstanding merit — they are-harmless! It’s the toasting tha l eliminates the poisonous nicotine' Rut beware of worthless imitations!*
