Mrs. Brown tossed the evening paper aside, and addressing her kubbv, remarked: “The paper sez all we gotter do if we wants good times back is to work ’ard and chuck all lux’ries. 'Ow abalrt you chucking your ’baeca?” “Ah,” eaid Mr Brown ‘and ’ow abaht you chucking goin’ to the Pickshers regular?” “And give up the only bit of enjoyment I ’ave?’’ enquired Mrs Brown indignantly, “Not on you life!” “Well, smoking is the on’y bit of enjoyment I ’ave,” replied Mr Brown, “and I’ll see —’’ —but never mind what Mr Brown said he would see. He’s like heaps of others, smoking is his only joy ! Harmless enough, too, so long as the ’baccy’s pure. Most of the foreign brands are not. Foul with nicotine. Queer, too, because our N.Z. tobaccos are practically free from the poison. But then they are toasted. No others. are. Toasting makes them safe to smoke to any extent. Gives them their fine flavour and bouquet, too. There are only four brands— Riverliead Gold. Navv Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10.— Advt.
