I he. matter to an cf!d colonist, remarking that it was. a sure sign of the degeneracy of the Maori race when their women smoked pipes. Said the New Zealander: “Welt, it' that is so, the Irish women of the working class must have been degenerating for a good while, because 1 remember seeing them smoking clays in Dublin when l wans a. hoy.” The tourist said no more. There is nothing .wrong with, pipe-smok-ing for man or woman so long as, the, right tobacco is used. Choose a brand as free from iiieoline as you can. 1 hat s all. Our New Zealand-grown tobaccos contains onlv a trifling percentage of nicotine, and ypu can’t bent them for flavor and aroma. You can smoko them for hours and they won’t do you any harm,. Ask for “Itiverhend Cold,” mild; “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium; or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead), full strength'.—4l.
