For TI.,.e Who Smoke.

The great point In pipe smoking Is to
learn TO smoke slowly. When this hab-
il is acquired. the full favor OF the to-
bacco will always be enjoyed, every
smoke will be a cool one. and tongue
burning VIII be unknown. 1t IS. how
ever. very hard for nervous people to
smoke slowly. We know of cases where
smokers have tried for 4 score of years
to check their smoking speed without
success. They probably did not begin
to make the effort early enough in their
smoking careers. With good tobacco
and n root pipe the slow smoker at
tains degree of pleasurabfe enjoy
ment I'm smoking of which the rapid
smoker has not an inkling.
Perhaps all smokers do not know that
* makes no difference in the flavor of
pipe tobacco how many times Il pipe
goes out. \ cigar which is allowed to
go out once has its flavor ruined and
is most apprcciably termed butt. \
pipe. however, tastes. il anything, bet
ter for going out.
Fastidious smokers always have at
least two pipes at hand and never fill
one until it has entirely cooled Off.
This is help toward cool smoking
and reasonable life in a pipe. \ good
test by which to tell If you are smok-
ing too fast is to hold the bowl in your
hand. If IT is too hot to do so. then
you may know your speed is too great.

In the matter of changes of venue

Justice Schriver's Office is adjoining
