Kdison, tho world-famed inventor, won’t allow his staff to smoko cigarettes in liis worshops and laboratories, although he 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 brain workers (and manual workers, too) arc onr beautiful Xew Zealand goods. Almost free from nicotine they may be smoked unsparingly. They won’t hurt anvbody. 'they owe their wonderful purity largely to the toasting of the leaf, which process also accounts for (heir exquisite flavour and aroma. There are several brands, special favourites being “ Riverhead Gold ’ ’ (.mild aromatic), ‘ ; Ga vendish ” (a delightful smoke of medium strength), “Navy Cut No. 11” (another fine medium), and “Cut Plug No 10“ (a rich, dark full-strength tobacco). £3
