A romantic bid for, happiness on an' uninhabited island faP from the haunts of m©n, where old memories can be effaced and a new life begun, is to be made by 10 British ex-con-vict& A woman who has, made it her life’s work to befriend convicts on their release from prison not only suggested this novel scheme, but offered to bear the initial expense.

The islan.d which has been chosen .as their future home is familiar to one member of the party—a seaman whb has visited it several times in the course of his voyages—and it offers many possibilities for fit and energetic colonists.

Through the simple process of toasting his tobacco the modern manufacturer has been able to effect an enormous improvement in the smoking quality. It is a well-known fact that cooked food is wholesomer and more digestible than raw food, and the same principle applies to tobacco. We do not eat raw meat or fish or drink raw coffee, why should we smoke raw tobacco. It is wonderful how the flavour of tobacco can be developed by toasting. Try any of the brands and you will notice a marked improvement, and what is also important as a result of the toasting process, the tobacco loses all deleterious properties. Smokers who study their health should therefore give this matter their attention, and avoid strong foreign tobaccos, heavily charged with nicotine —they are ©ure to undermine even the most robust constitution. Not only is the local article purer and more wholesome than most of the imported brands, but it is cheaper, too. Riverhead Gold is mild and aromatic; Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog), of medium strength; but if you prefer a full body try Cut Plug No. 10*
