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 pipes, and it was his practise before speaking into the dictaphone he always 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 interrupting his train of thought. But tobacco is just as necessary to 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 cases there is nothing like a good comfortable smoke, and no to: bacco half so refreshing as “toasted” Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish. Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. “Why I 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.
