“Widow lady, young, and considered good-looking wishes to meet man of culture, about 40. View matrimony. Smoker preferred.” This advertisement appeared in a Melbourne paper. The last two words are significant. Is the lady’s preference for a smoker-husband based on previous matrimonial experience or dictated iyy a famous novelist’s advice: “Never marry a man who doesn’t smoke?” Smokers, as a rule, make the best husbands, anyhow. A smoker is usual] v less exacting than a non-smok-er, less irritable, more amiable, more generous, easier to get on with. Tobacco (when pure) helps to minimise worry, and vanish care Excess of nicotine in the weed means frayed nerves, and “shortness” of temper.

Thousands of smokers non testify to that! Four brands only of the genuine toasted: Riverhead Gold Navy Cut No. 3 /Bulldog). Cavendish and Cut Plu.t No. 10 (Bullshead).
