“Smokers and smoking,” is the title of an. interesting article in a Melbourne weekly. The writer cites the case of the head of a great commercial house who when making an appointment to his staff invariably prefers to engage a smoker. A lover of the weed himself he says his long experience as an employer satisfies him that smokers are usually broader in their views,, saner in their outlook than non-smokers, and “pull together” better, being more contented when at work. Other employers will doubtless endorse that, for it happens to be true, as a rule. But very much depends upon the tolbacco. Constant use of the wrong “baccy” so far from promoting harmony and contentment,. may have the opposite effect, and excess of nicotine in the weed will assuredly do it. Fortunately for New Zealanders they have in the five leading brands, Riverhead Gold, Desert Gold, Pocket Edition, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), and Cut Plug. No. 10 (Bullshead), tolbacco not only of superlative quality but so comparatively free from nicotine (owing to being toasted), that they are “safe as houses” to smoke to any extent.
