If the average man were cast away on a desert island and compelled to lead a Robinson Crusoe-existence, his first thought (after the food and water problem was solved) would be : “How can I get something to smoke?” The craving for tobacco is insistent’ in the case of 10 men out of every 12, and to satisfy the universal demand hundreds of brands of the “weed” are on the market. They come from many- lauds, one of tne latest cotvntrieis to produce them (in a perfected form) being New Zealand. Strange to say, the barren gum lands of the North, which won’t grow ordinary crops, grow splendid tobacco, a matter of the* greatest importance to men on the land up there, because the average yield of leaf is worth £5O per acre, and the industry promises to become a source of national wealth. The local article is much appreciated by those wflio had to give up smoking foreign tobaccos because of the excess of nicotine, which affected thier health. Try Riverhead Gold, mild ; Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium ; or Cut Plug No. 10 (Bulls head), full.* Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure, For Influenza Colds.
