Brazilian and British officials at Rio de Janeiro lack confirmation of a naval engagement on August 7 and suggest that it was ‘'just another rumour.’* J. M. Barrie, the famous author, made the fortune of a London tobacI conist, once upon a time. Happened this way: Barrie (as you may remember) eulogised a certain tobacco which he called “ Sporting Mixture.” That was not its real name, but directly the public identified this mixture as Barrie’s “ Sporting Mixture ” there was such a run on it that the lucky tobacconist who sold it made his fortune. “ Sporting Mixture ” was a ripe, mellow and very fragrant tobacco of exquisite flavour, closely resembling the “ Cavendish ” manufactured from New Zealand grown leaf by the National Tobacco Co., Ltd. (the pioneers of the tobacco I industry in New Zealand). And this brand, like all the Company’s tobaccos, is practically free from nicotine, while the foreign tobaccos all con--1 tain too much nicotine to be safe ! smoking. But then the National ; goods are all toasted—hence their . freedom from nicotine. There are : no other toasted tobaccos. Popular ! brands: Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold (mild), Navy Cut and Caven- • dish (medium), and Cut Plug No. 10 'full strength).
