The takings at the first day of the Waikato Winter Show were better by £7 than for the first day last year, the figures being £225, and for 1928 £2lB. 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. The good old lady smoked a clay pipe every day, and attributed her longlife, 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 harmleesness of tobacco could hardly be found. The plain fact pf the 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—tlie 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.*
