Another centenarian smoker; and this time a woman. A Home paper records the death at Messing, near Tiptree, Essex, of Mrs Naomi Harrington, at the age of one hundred years. Thej good old lady smoked a clay pipe every day, and attributed her long life, at any rate in pdrt, to that practice. What the anti-tobaccoites will say to this must be left to conjecture, but a more convincing proof of the harmlesisness of tobacco could hardly hq found. The plain fact of t|he matter is that smoking won’t hurt anyone so long as the tobacco is pure and as free from nicotine as possible. The imported brands, by the way, are mostly full of nicotine. That’s where they differ. so essentially from our own New Zealand tobaccos —the purest in the world and the freest from nicotine. They are quite; safe, and owe their fine, aroma, and delicious fragrance to the toasting of the leaf (quite a novelty). Ask your tobacconist for Riverhead Gold, mild; Navy Cut (Bulldog), medium; or Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), full strength.*
