The seductive “weed”! At Lambeth Conference an unofficial census revealed that of one hundred Bishops ninetyeight were smokers, and some of them very heavy ones! Well, why not? After all bishops are a good deal like other men and if they find a smoke •‘grateful and comforting” amid all the hurry and stress of modern life (from which not even Bishops are exempt) is that very surprising! Tobacco may have its faults, but they are far out-number-ed by its virtues. The great thing is to sec that it is pure. Brands poisonous with nicotine (as some of the foreign ones are) should be carefully avoided. They spell ruined health if smoked habitually. Toasted tobacco is the purest because toasting expels the nicotine and renders it sale to smoke to any extent, besides giving it its peculiarly line aroma and delicious flavour. There are only four brands of toasted manufactured —Jliverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, cut Plug No 10 and Cavendish. They are in constant demand and on sale everywhere.
