Why buy the Liquor Traffic? If to end it, why pay £15,000,000 when £4,500,000 is enough? If to continue it, the increased National Efficiency is not secured. Every argument against Alcohol is based on its damage to th'© human body—State Liquor Stores cannot change its nature. It paralyses nerves, impairs judgment, and dulls moral vision even if the name of King George, as head of the State, is over the public-house door instead of John Smith, the private publican. And what a slur on the King’s name when he himself called for “Glasses down!” Alcohol is no respecter of persons, nor of Governments. License laws may change a.nd bars become community enterprises, but Alcohol goes on its blasting, blighting way, leaving a trail of sorrow, misery, and poverty to mark its path. Don’t buy the traffic Bury it! (Advt.)
