R. Smith, of the Post and Telegraph Department, at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon at Wellinton. “A person will dial the number wanted, and will be able to hear the other person talk before he puts his penny in the slot. The other person will not be able to hear him until the penny is paid, but the big feature will i>o that one will know if the subscriber is available before he. pays the money.” It is the roasting of Coffee-ber-ries that results in the development of the exquisite flavour so much appreciated by coltce-drinkers. That is well-known. But it is not so well known that our New Zea-land-grown tobaccos are now subjected to the same roasting or toasting process, and with the same result. The flavour is brought fully out, while at the same time the deleterious properties of the tobacco are destroyed. All tobaccos, no matter where grown, have this in common —that they contain nicotine, some more, some less. And it is this poison that is chiefly responsible for the sufferings of those who indulge too freely in the use of the fragrant weed. Heart and nerves are generally affected and often the eye-sight. Scientists now tell us that toasting neutralises part of the nicotine and that toasted tobaccos may, therefore be smoked with impunity. They recommend Kiverhoad Gold, mild and aromatic. Toasted Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium strength; and the full bodied Cut Plug No. It) (Bullhead label). All are toasted.*
