PUBLIC NOTICES. STARTLING INDICTMENT. . 9 .BISHOP CLEAEYi SPEAKS OUT. THE RECENT ISSUE OF AUCKLAND'S ROMAN CATHOLIC MAGAZINE, "THE MONTH," HAS JUST ARRIVED IN WELLINGTON. AND ONE OF THE MOST SURPRISING FEATURES IS A POWERFUL EDITORIAL BY HIS LORDSHIP DR. CLEARY, CATHOLIC BISHOP OF AUCKLAND. DEALING WITH THE FORTHCOMING POLL ON PROHIBITION, ONE' PARAGRAPH IS HEADED, "HUMAN WRECKAGE." DR. CLEARY WRITES THUS REGARDING THE LIQUOR TRADE :- " Herein lies one of the tragedies of the traffic in intoxicating "drink: the antagonism between the monetary interests of a large "section of 'The Trade' and tho welfare of the individual and the "nation.' Out in No Man's Land, close in front of trenches where we "served as a military chaplain, there lay the piled up or scattered unburied—of over three thousand gallant Colonial storm "troops that had been destroyed by a sudden whirlwind of fire from "the nearby Gorman lines. That moving spectacle of battered bodies "does not represent a tithe of the human wreckago left all over "this Dominion by the sins of a considerable section of 'The Trade,' "whom neither moral suasion nor the civil law nor tho appeal of pity "has boon able to bring within ' control. And the less appeal there "is to conscience in 'The Trade' the more must the State rely for "reform , upon its power and riirhfc of repressing a traffic the evils "of which it has hopelessly failed to reduce to the limits of toler- . "anco or moderation. 'As to the right of a State to suppress the .. "'liquor traffio.' said the great Catholic, Archbishop Spalding, 'there "'con bo no question, since the right to suppress crime involves the " 'right to suppress its chief cause.' It is ' tho sins- and the sin"making and crime attendant upon> the operations of 'The Trade* "that have created the movement for. its abolition; they have fur"nished it with its chief driving force; they have made it (in our per"sonal view) a wholesome necessitv in a land that would give its "best to the shaping of the new and better era that is. (we hope) "at hand." £500 CHALLENGE DECLINED. THE LIQUOR TRADE FINALLY DISCREDITED. f¥IHE Failure to Accept the Challenge proves that the Liquor Traffio deliberately tried to mislead tho publio by stating that unless the two bottom lines were struck out the vote would be invalid; that is, unless the vote was for Continuance it was invalid. THOSE MATCH BOXES. They also printed on match boxes distributed at Soldiers' Clubs:— "Your vote is lost if you do not cross out two lines thus:—" (Here followed a facsimilie of the ballot papor with the two bottom lines ttruck out.) THE OTHER FRAUDS. THEY' DID ISSUE THE VALENTINE FAKE PROCLAMATION. • THEY DID PUBLISH THE DR. CANTLIE FAKE CABLE. IN spite of all this, they ask decent electors to LET THEM CON- ' TINUE or to pay il«,000,000 TO GET OUT. There is only one thing to do with a tirade so debased— VOTE IT RIGHT OUT. LIQUOR AND INFLUENZA, i — MEDICINE IN THE HOME. DON'T LET THE LIQUOR TRACE SCARE YOU. READ THIS:- * SIR MALCOLM MORRIS, K.C.V.0., F.R.C.S., President of tn» Institute of Hygiene, at a Conference called by the Institute on February 28, 1919, to consider "Influenza and its Prevention," said: Alcohol IS NOT essential for the prevention or the treatment of Influenza. DR. E. B. TURNER, F.R.C.S., is a leading London practitioner, and has Lectured on Venereal Disease in the Army with great acceptance to officers and men. He has tapt a record of an unbroken series of 2300 CASES OF INFLUENZA, which ho has treated, ending in complete recovery with no con: plication and without a single death. He described, in the "British Medical Journal" for March 8, 1919, how, in the epidrniic raging in London since October, 1918. ho has treated 335 cases, all with temper* tures of 103.5deg. to 105deg. and of virulent type, all recovered without pneumonia or other complications. Dr. Turner Bays in a letter: I have not ordered any alcohol whatever, in Influenza either in this epidemio or in any of the early ones. They do not require it, so far as I can 60C. ALCOHOL WILL BE AVAILABLE. But, if required, alcohol for medicine will be obtainable. The Act specially provides for it, and tho Minister of Health in the National Government specially lmntfoned that provirion would be made to obtain it WITHOUT PAYMENT OF DOCTORS' FEES.
