Pur® tobacco, my good sir. is doing n‘ million times more good for humanity than you can hope to accomplish by. abusing it.” “There’s no pur e tobacco,” sneered the other. Producing a small tin the smoker said ; “This is' 1 N«w Zealand tobacco, pur® a,s fresh air, . fragrant as rose s , comforting, solacing, delicious. Harmless, too, because it's toasted. If you were a smoker you’d understand. As a non-smoker your opinion doesn’t count.” That settled hjm! There are four brands of toasted tobacco—Hiv e rhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut . Plug No, 10. They aro unequalled.—Advt.
