Over oik' hundred years Old, and “ho thoroughly enjoyed his pipe.” That was recorded a while ago of Mr 'William Reeves, who passed away recently at Knox Home, Tamaki, Auckland, aged 101. The anti-tobaccoitcs are never tired of tolling us that smoking shortens life, but if anyone cared to take a census of inmates of these charitable institutions, they would discover that great numbers of very old men—yes, and very old women, too, derive comfort and consolation from their pipes. Smoking so far from being injurious is really beneficial so long as' the tobacco is good and does not contain a heavy percentage of nicotine. The imported brands are practically all of them loaded with nicotine. Our New Zealand tobaccos, on the other hand, contain so little that they may bo smoked all day without any ill-effects. They are full of flavour and fragrance too, sweet and mellow and delicious. Ask for “Riverhead Gold” if you want a fine aromatic, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) if you like a good medium, or “Out Plug No. 10” (Bullshead) if you prefer a grand full-flavoured sort.—Advt.
