How long does it take to smoke a ton of tobacco? It has taken an old Canterbury resident an inveterate lover of the weed —just 73 years. He commenced to,smoke when lie was 13 years old, is now 86, and is still smoking! He was a cabin-boy when lie learned to smoke, and for three-quar-ters of a century has found comfort and solace in his pipe. Anti-tobaceo-ites declare smoking shortens life. But there is reason to believe (as in. this case) that it often prolongs it. Good and pure tobacco, containing but little nicotine, undoubtedly' benefits the health because it lessens nervous strain and banishes the “ blues.” New Zealanders are fortunate in that respect. Our Dominion tobacco is so pure that many doctors smoko it habitually and recommend it to their patients. It is roasted, and the "bite" taken clean out of it. A more delightful tobacco or a less harmful one the world docs not produce. The four brands are: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cavendish, and Cut Plug No. 10.* For flavour, strength and purity insist on Sliarland’s Vinegar. A New Zealand-made quality product. Sold in bottle or b.ulk at all stores. —4
