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. Thq good old lady smoked a clay pipe every day, and attributed her long life, at any rate in part, to that practice. What the anti-tobaccoites will say to this must be left to conjecture, but a more convincing proof of the harmlessness of tobacco could hardly bq found. The plain fact pf tjhe 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 quitq 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.*
