•“.Men will have their vices,” say some. Therefore the State should sell Alcohol to.keep men from Drug using of from social vice. Actual experience, however, shows that Prohibition decreases drug using and vice-Judge Swanson, of British Columbia, says that '‘There has not been a recrudescence of drilg Using as the opponents of Prohibition prophesied.” Vancouver’s Chief Constable says that • ‘lt was thought by some that the abolition of the Bar would lead to the use of Drugs but as far as Vancouver is concerned it lias not been the case. Referring to vice, most young people go wrong tinder the influence of Alcohol. And State Alcohol, served cut to make profit nnd revenue for the Government, will break down morality just as surely as does Alcohol sold under License.*

THOMSON’S CARBONATED WATERS AND CORDIALS ARE PURE, DELICIOUS.—Have you tasted Thomson’s lemonade, ginger ale, raspberry vinegar, lime-juice cordial, or other nf their productions ? If you have not, then you don’t know how much superior a pure genuine unadulterated preparation like Thomsons’ is over the kind that is frequently sold. The taste is infinitely pleasanter—in fact, Thomsons’ are in every way superior to the cheap, chemically-prepared drinks that aro offered for public consumption. Under the Pure Foods Act, Thomsons are in the unique position of being allowed by the New Zealand Government to use the words “Pure,” “Natural,’’'“real,” “genuine,” on their labels. No firm can place these words there unless its productions are actually puro and genuine, as represented. Thomson’s drinks have this distinction. Their beverages are pure and delicious—the best by far produced in Australasia. Great Britain’s foremost analysts have testified to their purity, and a further tribute to their quality is that against the world they have won 25 gold medals and 31 first-claBS certificates. Get Thomson’s and you got quality.
