At Wanganui Magistrate's Court the other day Mr Barton, S.M.. was asked to make an order against a de fainting debtor, counsel arguing that defendant admitted spending Is (id a week on tobacco. The Magistrate is reported to have replied: “I can see no more reason for cutting off debtor’s tobacco than cutting off the sugar in his tea.” Doubtless Mr Barton recognised that the habitual smok er would go without tea altogether rather than give up his pipe. To a great many men tobacco is not a luxury—it is a necessity. Anti-tobac-coites say it is highly injurious. It isn’t, provided the right kind of to bacco is used. The imported brands, we all know, contain far too much nicotin e to be wholesome. But what about our own New Zealand tobae cos? They contain so little nicotine that they may be considered rather beneficial than otherwise. And yon can’t beat them for flavour and fragrance. That’s because they are toasted. Ask any tobacconist, for “Riverhead Gold” mild. “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, or “Cut Plug No 10” (Bullshead) full strength.— (Advt.)
