At 'Wanganui Magistrate's Court tho other day Mr Barton, SAT., was asked to make an order against a defaulting debtor, counsel arguing that defendant admitted spending ]s fid 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 tho habitual smoker 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. Antitobacco it es say it is highly injurious. It isn’t, provided tlie right kind of tobacco is- used. The imported brands, wo all know, contain far too much nicotine to he wholesome. But what about our own New Zealand tobaccos? They contain so little nicotine that they may be considered rather beneficial than otherwise. And you 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.
