Roars of laughter greeted a speaker at a social gathering at Wellington the other night. “My first pipe” was his theme. “When I was 16” he said, “I thought I'd like a . smoke. A real smoke-—not a cigarette. So I borrowed ar. old briar of my father’s—in blissful ignorance of how ‘seasoned’ it was! I filled up with some of Dad’s favourite mixture—strong as dynamite! (Laughter). Pretty .soon I was ill! Like the chap who was sea-sick I was afraid I was going to die—then I was afraid I wasn’t (Laughter). A year later I,tried again. I filled up a brand new pipe with 'New Zealand toasted tobacco, and enjoyed that smoke so much I have been smoking toasted ever since.” (Laughter and applause). The difference twixt ordinary tobacco and toasted tobacco is certainly astonishing! The ordinary stuff is sometimes full, of nicotine. The toasted is practically free from the poison. The toasting <lo<js it. There are only four brands of toasted—Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No,. 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No.. 10. Delicious! —Advt.
