During last month there was one interment at the Pukerimu Cemetery, Paeroa, and three sections w©re sold. Over one hundred years old, and “he thoroughly enjoyed his pipe.” That was recorded a while ago of Mr William Reeves, who passed away recently at Knox Home, Tamaki, Auckland, aged 101. The antitobaccoites are never tired of telling us, that smoking shorten life, but if any one cared to take a census of inmates of these, charitable institutions, they would discover that great numbers of very old men —yes, and very old women too—derive- comfort and consolation from thejf pipes. Smoking so far from being injurious is really bejneficial so long as the tobacco is good and not contain a heavy percentage of nicotine. The imported brands are practically all of them loaded with nicotine. Our New Zealand tobaccos, on the other hand, contain so little that they may be smoked all day without any ill-effects. They are full of fragrance and flavour too, sweet and mellow and delicious. Ask for “Riverhead Gold” if you w T .ant al fine aromatic, “ Navy Cut ” (Bull- j dog) if you like a good medium, or r “ Cut Plug No. 10 ’ (Bullshead) if you prefer a grand full-flavoured sort.*
