“A yard of , clay ” —and content-' ment! A well-known New Zealander just returned from a trip Home (he motored all over England) says the happiest man he met on Ids travels was a Devonshire yokel in a smockfrock who was seated on a rustic bench outside a country inn with his back against a tree and a “ yard of clay ” in his mouth. “He looked a perfect picture of contentment." Wonderful is the power of the weed! It (halves our sorrows and doubles our joys. Its enemies say hard things about it, but so long as itjs quality is good,and it’s as free from nicotine as possible it does more good than harm Unfortunately most of the- imported brands contain sp much nicotine that' they do more harm than good. It’s otherwise with our New Zealand tobaccos. They are almost free from nicotine, and so may be smo'.ked with' absolute impunity. They awe quite too, for flavomr and fragrance. The favourite brands are “ Riverhead Gold ’ r mildi, “ Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, 'and'. “Cut Plug No. 10 ” (Bullsheadi)' full strength.*
