Pipe smoking is becoming increasingly popular amongst men, although there is a lessened demand, tobacconists will tell you, for'very strong' tobaccos .which of course owe their strength to the excess of nicotine they contain. And excess of nicotine is) bad. That is why the habitual use of imported tobaccos —mostly full of nicotine and consequently liable to cause heart and nerve troubleshould ibe avoided. Thejsafest -tobaccos of all are those grown and manufactured here in New Zealand, by the National Tobacco Company Ltd. They contain so little nicotine that, they may he smoked from daylight to dark without fear of consequences. And for flavour and aroma they are simply unrivalled. This is largely attributable to the fact that' the leaf is toasted. No other tobaccos are thus treated. And it is the toasting that eliminates the nicotine and develops flavour and bouquet. These brands are unique, and are now in general request. Leading lines: “Riverhead Gold” (mild), “Navy Cut” and “Cavendish” ((medium), “Cut Plug No. 10” (full strength). They are on sale everywhere.—Advt. 8.
