That famous writer of “thrillers,” Edgar Wallace, was a great smoker. Like so may literary men he sought—and found—inspiration in tobacco. Affixed to a wall of his study he had a [ big pipe-rack holding perhaps a dozen I pipes, and it was his practise before I speaking into the dictaphone he al- , ways used (he never used a pen) to | “load” three or four pipes so that directly he had smoked out one he ' could light another, without interrupt- | ing his train of thought. But tobacco is just as necessary t<y brain workers in other walks of life. The harassed business, man, the scientist faced with some abstruse problem, and many others find solace in the weed. In all such eases there is nothing like a good comfortable smoke, and no tobacco half so refreshing as "toasted” Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. “Why toasted?” it used to.be asked. Now every smoker knows that toasting eliminates the poisonous nicotine (common to all tobaccos) and renders < "toasted” pure, sweet, fragrant and very comforting.
