p. C. Wren, the well-known author of “Beau Geste” and other popular novels, is a great smoker. When hard at work on a hook, lie will consume an ounce of tobacco a day. Strong stuff, too and like most of the American tobaccos rank with nicotine. How does lie do it? It’s certainly risky. Many a man “strong as a horse” lias had to give up his pipe because be used the wrong tobacco, that it tobacco contain, ing an excess of nicotine. How comes it that those foreign tobaccos are all like k that? Our New Zealand brniub contain so little nicotine that you may indulge in them as freely _as you please with absolute impunity. The leaf is toasted and that makes all the difference in the flavour and aroma. These baecies don’t bite the tongue and they burn to the last shred. You can get them off any tobacconist. Favourite brands are: “Hiverhcad Gold” (mild and aromatic); “Cavendish” (the sportsman’s smoke); “Navy Cut No. (a blend of choice loaf); and Cut plug No. 10” a rich, dark full-flavour-ed sort)*
