They were swapping “mean man” stories in a smoker of the Welling-ton-Auckland express. The man in tlie corner took the bun. Said he knew a chap w7io iiever bought tobacco if he could “borrow” it. This party carried two pipes. One held a thimblefull, the other about a quarter of an ounce. When he asked for a fill he showed you the little pipe. But directly he got hold of your pouch he pulled out the big pipe and crammed it with your “weed.” When fellows tumbled to him they cut him. Hei’s particularly partial, it appears, to New Zealand tobacco. It’s certainly good, with a fragrance and aroma of its own. Most of the imported brands reek with nicotine. That’s why their constant use is bad. The N.Z. tobaccos are so pure and so comparatively free from nicotine that you can puff them all day without feat of consequences. You can’t beat them for flavour. Try Riverhead Gold, a fine aromatic ; Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium ; or Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), full strength* Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. For Influenza Colds.
