i "Is there such a thing as nicotineless [ tobacoo — tobacco with no nicotine in it?" i asked a customer of a Wellington tobacf conist the other day. "No," said the ; tobacconist, "there is not. But there is : much less nicotine in some brands than others." "And is there no way of extracting the stuff?" enquired the customer, adding, "poisonous, isn't it?" "It's deadly," replied the tobacconist, and continued: "The only way, I believe, is to roast the tobacco, same as the manufacturers of the New Zealand bi'ands are doing. They have installed an elaborate plant in their factory, I'm told for the purpose." "And does the roasting really get rid of the nicotine?" queried the customer. "Most of it. Sufficient to make it safe for the smolrer to indulge to any extent. Greatly improves the flavour and bouquet, too. It's a wonderful process." Replying to a further question the tobacconist said: "There are only four brands of toasted: Riverhead Gold, Cut Plug No. 10, Cavendish and Navy Cut No. 3." The chstomer is .-"trying them out."
