“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 stall 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 “puJl 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 tobacco. Constant use of the wrong “baccy” so far from promoting harmony and contentment maj- have the opposite effect, and excess of nicotine in the weed will assuredly do it. Fortunately for New Zealanders they havo iu the five leading brands, Riverhcad Gold, Desert Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullsliead), tobacco 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.
