The seductive "weed"! At Lambeth Conference an unofficial census revealed that of one hundred Bishops ninetyeight were /smokers,, and some of them very heavy ones! Well, why not? After all bishops arc a good deal like other men and if they find a smoke "grateful and comforting-" amid all the hurry and stress of modern life (from which not even bishops are exempt) is that very surprising? Tobacco may have its faults, but they are far out-numbered by its virtues.* The great thing is to see that it is pure. Brands poisonous with nicotine (as some of the foreign ones are) should be carefully avoided. They spell ruined health if smoked habitually. Toasted tobacco is the purest because toasting expels the nicotine and renders it safe to smoke to any ex/cnt, besides giving it its peculiarly fine aroma and delicious flavour. There are only four brands of toasted manufactured—Riverhcad Gold, Navy Cut No. 3, Cut Plug No. 10 and Cavendish. They are in constant demand and on sale everywhere.*
