“A yard of clay ” —and contentment ! A well-known New Zealander just returned from a trip Home (he motored all over England) says the happiest man he met on his 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 I It halves our sorrows and doubles our joys. Its enemies say hard things about it, but so long as its 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 so much nicotine that they dp more harm than good. It’s otherwise with our New Zealand tobaccos. They are almost free from nicotine, and so may be smoked with absolute impunity. They are quite remarkable* too, for flavour and fragrance. The favourite brands are “ Riverhead Gold ” mild, “ Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, and “Cut Plug No. 10 ” (Bullshead) full strength.*
