Such a horror of tobacco, smoke had “Victoria the Good,” that those of her guests at any of the Royal palaces who chanced to be smokers were compelled, if they craved a whiff, to indulge in their bedrooms after retiring for the night, with their heads up the chimney—lest perchance the telltale fumes should give them away! This seems almost incredible today, when both sexes smoke and even exalted personages puff away freely and unashamedly, and sometimes to excess. Excessive smoking, by the way is not always wise, but it need not worry Maori-landers, because “toasted” is always at their service. It’s the tobacco that’s full of nicotine that does the harm. But there’s very little nicotine in toasted. It’s cut out by the toasting. So you run no risks with these beautiful tobaccos, so sweet, pure, cool and fragrant—and so comparatively harmless. Six brands only of the genuine toasted: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold and Pocket Edition. But take care what you buy. Worthless imitations are on the mar- ; ket. i
