How long does it take to smoko a ton of tobacco I It lias taken an old Canterbury resident an inveterate lover of tho weed—-just 73 years. He commenced to smoke when he was 13 years old, is now 86, and is still smoking! He was a cabin-boy when he learned to smoke, and for three-quar-ters of a century has found comfort and solace in his'pipe. Anti-tobacco-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 littlo nicotine undoubtedly benefits the health because it lessens nervous strain and banishes tho ‘ i blues. ” New Zealanders are fortunate in that respect. Our Dominion tobacco is so pure that many doctors smoke it habitually and recommend it to their patients. It is roasted, and the "bito” taken clean out of it. A more delightful tobacco or a less harmful one the world docs not produce. The four brands arc: Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, .Cavendislij and Cut Plug No. 10.
