Great Man’s Advice.

Never Hold Your Money

The successful and influential proprietor of Smith’s Weekly, Sydney, the Hon Sir Joynton Smith M.L.C., who worked his way up from nothing, gives the following advice to others :

“Never have any money to your credit in the bank. If you have you will be apt to try and back winners at the races or to spend it foolishly on all kinds of unnecessary things. Always endeavour to make your financial engagements such that you will be struggling to pay something off and thus increasing your general asset. That is the way to acquire. It keeps you both busy and thrifty and you are a better citizen for being both. For your money and yourself are always active, and in keeping both employed you are employing others also, and increasing the general prosperity.”

Another centenarian smoker: and this time a woman. A Home paper records the death at Messing, near Tiptree, Essex, of Mrs Naomi Harrington at the age ol one hundred years. The good old lady smoked a clay pipe every day and attributed her long life, at any rate in part, to that practice. What the anti-tobaccoites will say to this must be left to conjecture, but a more convincing proof of the harmlessness of tobaccs could hardly be found. The plain fact of the matter is that smoking wont hurt anyone so long as the tobacco is pure and as free from nicotine as possible. The imported brands, by the way, are mostly full of nicotine. That’s where they differ so essentially from our own New Zealand tobaccos—the purest in the world and the freest from nicotine. They are quite safe and owe their line aroma and delicious fragrance to the toasting of the leaf (quite a novelty). Ask your tobacconist for “Riverhead Gold” mild, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead) full strength.
