Women Smoking.
SPREAD OF HABIT. Prevalence in Great Britain. Mr. J. Pohlen, of Matamata, who recently returned from a trip to the Antipodes, in conversation with a Matamata Record reporter, said he did not notice anything startling in England in regard to liquor drinking, but he did notice that smoking among women w T as an extremely prevalent habit. Sitting at table in a restaurant, they would be puffing at cigarettes in between mouthfuls of lunch and sips of tea. They could not even eat a meal without smoking at the same time. The practice, to one who was not used to seeing it, shocked dreadfully.
When a resolution from the Hawke’s Bay A. and P. Society was before the Manawatu A. and P. Association urging the Government to prohibit the importation of live stock or substances likely to carry foot and mouth disease infection Mr. J. A. Mitchell said he thought that no doubt within a few years teh Dominion would be troubled with the disease. He believed the more rigid protection the better. Replying to the chairman in regard to his reference that New Zealand might be troubled by the disease, Mr. Mitchell said there was at present several head of stock on Somes Island suffering from the disease.
