The scowlinq person jumpecl in and toolc the only vacant seat in the Auckland tram just as it was starting-. Oazinsj about hira with evident disgrust at all the pipes in full blast he sneeringly reinarked: "Bast year I visited the London Zoo and saw a -monkey smoking a pipe.'' Like a flash came the rejoinder from somebody, "Tes, its wonderful how intelligent some monlceys are. Got more savvy Ihan some huinans I've mot." Roars of laugliler 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. Ture and good as tohacco can be, not health-destroying because they soothe jaded nerves, and bring rest and peace to the tired brain. Quite harmless too, because they are toasted. . The toasting eliminates the nicotine in them to a considerable extent, besides enhancing flavour and fragrance. Eour brands only: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10.
