on the bias, SO that the fine prune

CIGARETTE IN BRITISH ARMY.
Habit Began in the Egyptian War Of
1ss2-Was Caused by Cir
cumstanceA

A paragraph on the army and ciga'
rette smoking has brought MS the fol-
lowing from military correspondent
1T was the Egyptian war of 1852 which
really started cigarette smoking to
any large extent. Officers were thrown
in the country where Egyptian eiga'
rettes were made. A few Greek firms
had possibly previously had fairly
large trade with retailers who supplied
the universities. Indeed, up till the
seventies the word cigarette was pro-
nounced as a French word, while the
word 'fag' has only existed for half
a dozen years, at the most, in the sense
of cigarette. 'Fag' has nothing TO do
with tobacco done up as faggot;' it is
the remains of street boys slang for
the fag end of cigar. A soldier un-
der stoppages used only TO be allowed
a penny day; now he is supposed TO
want half pint and a packet Of fags,
so be is allowed twopence a day.

civilians did. Boy recruits smoked
