He bolted ihto the backbloeks general store, and glared at the proprietor. "Wh-wliat's wrong?" fimidly ventured the stQi-ekeeper. ' ' Remembor me comiug in yesterday for a tin of toasted Cut Plug No. 10?" bawled tho stranger atogrily. . The storckeeper nodded. "Then'whafc the" (prof'ane expressibu) "d'ye moaii by giving me this rubbish?" — and pitching a tin on to ihe counter he "paused for a reply." The storelteeper looked silly. He had sold a tin of something no moro like the genuine 'toasted' than a bit of glass-is like a diamond. Without a word he passed over another tin in exchange for the rejected one. Snatching it up and scrutinising the label the indignant eustomer hurried away. Moral: When you ask for "tdasted" see that you get it. There are only five genuine toasted brands, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish,. Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. Famed for thhir splendid quality and exquisite pprity these beautiful tobacocs (the nicotine in which has been eliqiinated by toasting) are mado safe for the jfmoker.* ^
