THE PROHIBITION POLL. Would you believe it? There are people going about saying that we must have the bars open, because otherwise brandy and whisky will not be available for medicinal purposes in case of another epidemic! What really happened at the outbreak of the flu? Now, what really happened 1 The Government closed the bars! Yes, closed 'em! Why did they do it? Now, fair and square, why? Because the Government's medical advisers insisted upon it. Why? In the public interest. Yes, but why ? Because medical science dictated so. In Australia they did the same. It has become a practice jii all wise countries to keep the bars tight closed in all emergencies to protect the whole of us against the rest of us. So whsn you hear Mr Moderate Baying that thg bars must be kept open to save liws during an epidemic juat smile! He takes you for a simp ! Show him you're not—strike out the Wd line on Thursday, April 10! [Advt.]
