"SHOUTING" HABIT.
A PROFESSOR'S ADVICE. "KNOCK HIPA DOWN." WHAT THE LORD MAYOR SUGGESTED. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. (Received April 20. 10.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Professor Anderson Stuart, M.A., LL.D., Professor of Physiology in the Sydney University, addressing the NoLicense Conference on the medical aspect oi the temperance question, condemned the " shouting " habit, and gave this advice: "If you meet a man in the street who asks you to have a drink, knock him down, hit his head, and don't let him up till ho signs the pledge." People, he added, put down their misfortunes to bad whisky ; but the cause waa too frequent ly the bad man, not bad whisky. Alcohol waß rarely adulterated in a deleterious way; the commonest adulterant was water, and the more of that the better. i The Lord Mayor advised the party to advocate a substantial decrease rdther than to attempt ., to wipe out all the licenses at once.
