Consternation reigned amongst the smokers assembled on the platform at Wellington the other day when the outward-bound Hutt train drew up without any first-class smoke car attached. However there were two cars labelled “A” and “B,” respectively, and a smoker, pipe in mouth, exclaiming “B” is for “’Baccy!” jumped into the “B” car, and all the other smokers followed suit. Presently someone asked: “If ‘B’ is for ’’baccy—what is ‘A’ for?” “For abstainers, of course,” came the reply. Everybody laughed. Precious few “abstainers*’ from the weed these days! —possibly one in 50. W]ell there’s no harm in tobacco, so long as it’s good and doesn’t contain too much nicotine, as those imported brands do. Our New Zealand tobaccos contain so little it doesn’t matter. That’s why they are so safe. They are unbeaten for fragrance and flavour, too. Delicious. Those chiefly in 'demand are: —“Rivenhead Gold” (rail'd, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, and “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead) full strength. They are on sale everywhere. Any tobacconist will supply you.
