When a suburban train left Auckland the other morning it chauce.d that there were only two passengera in the emoking- compartment, a vinegaryfaced middle-aged woman and a mnn 'sruoking his pipes. "Hope you don't object to smoking, madamef" politely inquired the man. "Yes, I do?'"' snapped vinegar-face. ''No gentlemau would smoke in the presence of a (]ydy', I shall complain to .the guard! " When the guard came along the "lydy" complained bitterly. The guard sized her up. "It's a smoking carriage," he said, "you'd better shift." Furiously angry she went, thxeatening to "report" the guard for insolenee. When she'd gone that functionary remarks: "Takes all sorts to make a world — and some of 'em never would be. missed! Say that baecy you're smoking smells good; what is itf" "Cut Plug No'. 10 (Bullshead), and it is good, so are the other toasted brands. Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Eiverhead Gold, and Desert Gold. No one can reasonably object to any of 'em.'-' "That'e right, I xeckon," said the guard, "where d'ye buy 'em? " "Oh, at any tobacconi^f's." BAD LEGS safely treated at home with Yarex Method. Simple and inexpensive. Free booklet from Ernest Healey, Pharmaceutical Chemist, Varex Ltd., Box 1558 E, Wellington.
