Quite a lot of ’Flu about! It’s unfortunate that even one person sickening for or recovering from this dreaded complaint may give it to any number of others. And so the scourge spreads! An Auckland doctor says there’s nothing like tobaccnsinoUe to ward off infection. HUS advice is: "Keep your pipe going when knocking about, especially when travelling in public conveyances.” Wise counsel! Fait see flint your baccy is right. The purest brands of all are grown and manufactured by the National Tobacco Company Ltd., (pioneers of the tobacco industry in New Zealand), and owe their marked superiority to the fact that, they are toasted, which process rids thorn of nicotine and gives their delightful fragrance and flavour. They are perfectly safe smoking. There are brands to suit all tastes. Ask for Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold (a mild aromatic), Navy Cut and Cavendish (both medium and both delicious), and Cut Plug No. 10 (rich, dark and fullflavoured). These tobaccos are on sale everywhere,®
