THE PURITY OF TOBACCO.

A MISTAKEN IDEA.

Some people labour under the mistaken idea that tobacco as supplied to the public is not pure. They suspect that Some Lobaccos ure adulterated with foreign substances. Such suspicions leave out of account b facts--one, that. adulteration would not pay; the other, that the revenne authorities would quickly make au example of anyone who fried to sell domething as tobacco which was not tobacco. The persistence of the Joan who thinks he knows all about it and who knows next to nothing renders Eis currection necessary as often as he pops out with his boary yarn that tubnet goods are adúleraled. There is a time of the year when people, apparently of normal vision, SCH 920 serpents. It is called the silly season.
