Edison, the world-famed inventor, won’-t allow his staff to smoke cigarettes in his workshops and; laboratories, •although ho offers no objection to pipes. Perhaps it is his personal preference for the pipe that is accountable for this. A pipe is certainly a. great help when the mind is closely occupied in trying to solve some tough problem. There is something peculiarly soothing (and yet mentally stimulating) in a pipe that other forms of smoking fail to give. But the tobacco must be carefully selected. Brands rich in nicotine will do more harm than good. The best tobaccos for bra in-workers (and manual workers, too) are our beautiful New Zealand goods. Almost free from nicotine, they may be smoked unsparingly. They won’t hurt anybody. They owe their wonderful purity largely to. the toasting of the leaf, which process also accounts for their exquisite flavour and aroma. There are several brands, special favourites being “Eiverhead Gold” (mild aromatic), “Cavendish” (a delightful smoko of medium strength), “Navy Cut No. 3” (another fine medium), and “Cut Plug No. 10” (a rich, dark, full-strength tobacco).*
