With reference to the general epidemic of measles, Dr Mason, Chief Health Officer, recently said though measles was not now a notifiable disease, it was infectious, and the same pre autions should be taken to secure isolation as were observed for scarlet fever.

Dr. Mason also states that children, them • selves unaffected, in homes where measles has appeared should not be allowed to go to school. In most houses perfect isolation is not obtainable, and consequently children who come in contact with sufferers may carry the disease abroad.

The quantity of liquor being brought into the King Country “ for personal consumption ” of late has evidently given rise to the suspicion in the minds of the police that the statement on the labels is a mere delusion, and is intended to co ver an act forbidden by law. Unusal activity is therefore being displayed by members of the force, and in some instances inconvenient questions will require to be answered at the next S.M. Court at Te Kuiti, as a]result of an overwhelming confidence in the familiar and convenient label. The bringing of a bottle or two for medicinal purposes occasionally, or even a case at odd times, may easily be accounted for, but the man who makes several trips a week to a licensed district, and returns accompanied by a case each time, is either possessed of a priceless thirst, or is perhaps obliging a neighbour- In any case he is what the Americans designate “ up against it ” when requested to explain.—King Country Chronicle.

Colony no longer ! Henceforward New Zealand will rank with Canada as a Dominion. Although there may not be a very great deal in the name, it has long been evident that a change was necessary in the destination of New Zealand, which as a self-governing State, with representative institutions, autonomous government and what practically amounts to complete independence of the Mother Country, in all save the name, was hardly to be classed in the same category as the Crown colonies, the administration of which is supervised from Downing-street Our Australian neighbours have all dropped the name colony for that of State, but for obvious reasons the latter term was hardly applicable to New Zealand, and so dignity hitherto monopol* ised by Canada is conferred upon us, and we are now entitled to speak of ourselves as citizens of the Dominion of New Zealand. We gain in dignity, if in nothing else, and Sir Joseph Ward as the first Prime Minister of the newlycreated Dominion, may well be congratulated upon the honour he has been instrumental in conferring upon us.— N.
