The scowling person jumped in and t'ook the only vacant seat in the Auckland tram just as it was starting. Gazing about liim with evident disgust at all the pipes in full blast he sneeringly remarked: "Last year I visited the London Zoo and saw a monkey smoking a pipe.'' Like a flash came the rejoinder from somebody, "Yes, its wonderful how intelligent some monkeys are. Got more, savvy than some humans I've met." Roars of laughter followed. Why will these cranks treat smokers as though they were fools or worse? They condemn all tobacco as health- destroying, whereas it may be nothing of the kind. Look, for example, at our popular New Zealand brands. Pure and good as tobacco can be, not health-destroyiug because they soothe jaded nerves, and bring rest and peace to the tired brain. Quite harmless too, because they are toasted. The toasting eliniinates the nicotme in them to a considerable extent, besides enhancing flavour and fragranee. Four brands only: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut Ko. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug Ko. 10.
