i * REASONS AGAINST NATIONAL I THE SOCIAL ASPECT! Under National Prohibition it will bo a, CRIME to Make Liquor, a CRIME to Buy, and a CRIME to Drink. National Prohibition makes it a CRIMINAL OFFENCE to drink a glass of even home-made wine or cider (Read section 21 (4) of the New Licensing Act). Anyone who AIDS, ABETS, or PROCURES the sale or manufacture of liquor is liable to £IOO FINE for the first offence and THREE MONTHS GAOL for the next offence. If a person were DYING you could not get Brandy from a Chemist without a Doctor’s order. If an invalid needed stimulant a Doctor’s Order would have to be got for EVERY “prescription.” A Waihi Chemist was fined £25 and Costs for ‘"repeating” doctor’s orders for liquor in case of weak-heart.

They now ask for Temperance by Terrorism. The only way to protect the Social rights of the people and liberty for people's private habits IS TO Strike out the BOTTOM LINES on both Ballot Papers!

Somo peculiar beliefs about drowning hold by Llanelly people are noted by the harbor-superintendent there. Amongst them are, says Mr Rees, that a drowned man floats face downwards and a woman face upwards. A man falling whilst unconscious into the water takes a longer time to sink than if conscious. Dark-haired people, again, drown moro quickly than those with fair liair, whilst red-haired folk are the toughest of all —or, to put it in the rough hut expressive waterside style,, "ginger takes longest to go under.” When other remedies fail to cure that headache, here’s the cure.
