NO-LICENSE REGIME. WELLINGTON, September 28.

Xo-hcense in Wellington South and Wellington Suburbs is working satisfactorily so far as the strict observance of th-e law is concerned. Mr Holmes, clerk of the Licencing Committee, informed a Po^t reporter to-day that the initial difficulties inseparable from the- introduction of no-licence into a new district had now hoen overcome, and so far as he was aware there was an koneet endeavour to observe the letter of the law. Particular? of the amount of liquor sent into the districts have been obtained, but no detaik 1 informp/iion is available for pub&icatio- . However, if Parliament required it, t- > legieters hjiv-e been so Kept up to date 1 - cently, by means of a new system intv- ■ duced b/ the Justice Department, th. •> the pveeiss details of every order e.tv . into any or ati of the no-iioeiwe districts in the Dominion could be furnished on a few hours' notice. No returns of the quantity of liquor carried in personally are obtainable. While wholesale licenseholders and brewer* <have restrictions placed on them in the matter of quantities of liquor which can be supplied to a given person in a given time, hotelkeepers can send in a gill or a liogshead of liquor, according to the order given. The order mu3t, however, be notified. Cases of wine for sacramental purposes have been duly reported io Mr Holmes, and no difficulty has been experienced by thot-c requiring it, due notice, of course, having beo'i given. The locker syetem, it i ; understood, has received a fair impetus ir the suburbs and Wellington South e'w<s the- law came into operation in those- d: - tviots, but there are parts of both divisions which had no hotel in ther.i before no-licenf-e wis carried, and they have not bse'i inconvenienced by the change, except a lit'Jn ucrsonal anxiety now and again «'« to whether it is legal or crimirv 1 to tuck a bottle of beer under one z- • while a bottle of whisky is nestling imf ■ the other ; also whether the same s\wbo labelled on the outer wrappii Otherwise °n these parts things rein~~t muc!i as 1 l.«y v/ere.

Tho visit of their Majestieß to Manchester increased the takinsrs of the trair.way system by over £1800. The takings that week were £17,395, as compared with £15,512 the previous week. The cough that is contracted in the winter, and which continues through the spring and summer, nearly always indicate** some throat or lung trouble, and should not be neglected. The ordrnary cough ' medicine may soothe the throat, but it ha* not the power to heal. Recovery is not - complete, and a Gecond attack is more , liable to follow. You cannot get a better medicine for coughs of this description. ■ than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Chamberlain' 6 Oougb llemedy is an excellent .' medicine for all throat and lung trouble, ' for it not only soothes the irritation, but ' it heals tbe affected partp, and leaves tbm> f ' ' , in such a healthy condition that the danger of a eecorid ittacfc is removed.
