An English tourist while “doing’’ the Waikato recently was surprised end disgusted to notice so many Maori women enjoying their pipes. On his return to Aiiekismd lie mentioned the matter to an old colonist, remarking that it was a sure sign of the degeneracy of the Maori race when *l'eir women smoked pipes. Said the New 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 I hem smoking clays in Dublin when I wars a hoy." 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 heat them for flavour and aroma. You can smoke them for hours and they won't do you any harm. Ask for “Riverhend Gold,” mild; “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium; or “Cut Plug No. 10" (Bullhead), full strength.—Advt.
