Euless all signs fail New Zealand tobacco is destined to become famous the world over for its splendid smolding qualities. Like wildfire has the N.Z. article spread all over the Dominion capturing the trade wherever introduced. It is therefore obvious that this tobacco 'must possess merits rendering its superior, to the imported, and one of (hem is its small percentage of nicotine. Even smoked incessantly this tobacco does not ailect injuriously heart or nerves and it leaves the mouth sweet and clean. It is the toasting process to which it owes not. only its freedom from nicotine but its peculiarly delicious flavour and aroma. And it is the only toasted tobacco on the market Exclusively manufactured by the National Tobacco iCo., Ltd., there are various brands. If you like a very mild aromatic, ask for “Riverhead Gold,” “Navy Cut” is stronger, so is “Cavendish,” but if you want a rich, dark, full-flavoured sort get “Cut Plug No. 10.” These beautiful goods are on sale everywhere by tobacconists; many grocers and storekeepers also stock them. —Advt. 55.

One shot that the New Zealand howlers make to perfection is what they term the ‘yard over shot,' but. we in Canada refer to it as the ‘overdraw.’ Never before in in.v life have I witnessed (his shot so cleverly made ;is ill the Dominion of New Zealand.”
