An English-tourist while “doing" the Waikato recently was surprised and disgusted to notice so ninny Maori women enjoying their pipes.,On his return to Auckland he mentioned the matter to an old colonist, remarking that it was a sure sign of the degeneracy of the Maori race when their women, smoked pipes. Said the Now Zealander: “'Well, if that is so, the Irish women of the working class must have been degenerating for a good while, because I remember seeing them smoking clays in Dublin when I was a boy." The tourist said no more. There is nothing wrong with pipe smoking for man or woman so long as the right tobacco is used. Choose a brand as free from nicotine as you can. That’s all. Our New Zealandgrown tobaccos contain only a trifling percentage of nicotine, and you can t bent them for flavour and aroma. Von can smoke them for hours and they won’t do you any harm. Ask for “Riverhead Gold,’’ mild: "Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium: or r 'Cut Pug No. 10” (Bullshead). full strength.—Advt.
