Another centenarian smoker: and this fome a woman. A Home paper records the death at Messing, near Tiptree, Essex, M rs Naomi Harrington at the age ot one hundred years. The 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 tobaccs could hardly be found. The plain fact of the matter is that smoking wont 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 tne leaf (quite a novelty). Ask your tobacconist for “Riverhead Gold” mild, “Navy Cut” (Bulldog) medium, or “Cut Plug No. io" (Bullshead) full strength.
