What does the elector ask if lie signs the Liquor Trade's Petition ? Ostensibly he requests ;i poll on three issues:— National Continuance, National Ownership, and National. .Prohibition. But rend the Liquqr Trade's Petition carefully "a'jid it will bo found that it asks that, these issues hro not only to bo decided on _ a bare majority volo\ but the elector, is to volo for one issue only, and,, still inoro important, that no issue is to be carried unless it secures a majority of the total votes cast on the' three issues; ' Just what this c'olightfully undemocratic measure involved is best Seen by noting how it'might work out at an election. Suppose National Continuance secures a majority—plainly The Trade : wins. .Suppose National Ownership secures a majority, who wins? The Trade, as will bo clearly seen when its price is made known. But suppose none of the three issues secures'a majority, who wins'?; The Trade, once more scores for there would be no change. In' short, Liquor demands a. three-to-ono chance. Not bad odds, is it?—for Liquor. Contrast this with tho Alliance Petition. The National' Efficiency Board investigated the Liquor Traffic with impartiality. After hearing the arguments of all sides and classes it came to, the conclusion that the Liquor Traffic, is one of New Zealand's greatest enemies to efficiency... In the 'interests of the people it therefore' proposed to : secure National Prohibition at once—provided'a majority of electors were in favour of that, course. The Alliance Monster Petition asks Parliament to grant a poll on the basis of the Board's report. Sign the N.fr Alliance Petition and refuse to sign that on,l)ehalf;Of Linuor. If you have signed the'lnH-n' 1 under a misapprehension, ask your 'M.P. to have •A'tur nnine removed or send word to the Alliance representative at once.— Advt. :,

.The advanced prices' of imported tobaccos and the .strong probability of a further rise iii rates before lons, has turned the attention of smokers to our N./j.-grown tobaccos, "Gold Pouch" and "Tkreo Diamonds.'" In this connection it is interesting to note that a new process has recently been introduced in tho 'manufacture, of these brands. Tho tobacco is now toasted—to the vast improvement of the flavour. Notwithstanding this new departure in tho manufacture the price remains the same, two ounces for Is. 'When buying toasted tobacco you. do not pay for added moisture, sauce, or other adulterations-; you'i get the pure tobacco, and, what is another consideration, a decidedly healthier smoke, because of the small percentage of nicotine—Adyt.
