So does Mr. Stanley Baldwin, the British Premier ./an inveterate smoker). By the way, Mr. Baldwin differentiates between smokers. He says, judging by his experience, pipe smokers take a wider and saner view of tilings than either cigarette or cigar smokers. Be that as it may, the pipe has much to recommend it liygienieaUy. And what of the tobacco? That is an all-important question. Tobaccos heavily charged with nicotine (like most of the imported brands) cannot 'be smoked habitually without causing trouble sooner or later. The heart; the nerves, or the general health is bound to suffer. In marked contrast are our New Zea-land-grown tobaccos, which, as a result of the toasting process to which they are now subjected, are so pure and so comparatively free from nicotine that they may be inuulged in freely without absolute safety. That’s why doctors recommend them. “Riverhead Gold,’’ mild; “Navy Cut” (Bulldog), medium; or “Cut Plug No. 10” (Bullshead), full strength. 1 40.
