The fascination of tobneco appeals to all alike. The craving is insistent. And why not? Smoking is not a crime, ft won’t hurt anybody so long as t-lie tobacco is right. The great thing is to steer clear of brands full of nicotine as practically all the imported lines are. The world's purest and lies! tobaccos are the toasted New Zealand sorts. The toasting neutralises the poisonous nicotine and renders the tobacco absolutely harmless. There are only four loasted brands on the market —“R’iverlicad Gold,” “Cavendish,'’ “Navy ('til No. 3” and ‘ J Cnt Plug No. 1(1.” Of varying strength, they are all remarkable for their delicious fla vour and delight till aroma. They will not burn the tongue however freely they are indulged in and they leave the mouth sweet and clean.-—Ailvl. 115.
