Immediately a petition is circulated asking for a poll on the National Efficiency Board's Report in favor or immediate Prohibition, the supporters of the Liquor Traffic revive the old catch cry of "wowser." Look over the names of the members o£ the Board that heard the evidence. There's not one of them to whom the term "'wowser'' can be even remotely applied. And read the s«*sons why they recommend National Prohibition—not a single "wowser" argument can be found. Sheer hard-headed common sense forces them to the conclusion that National Eflicency in New Zealand demands National .Prohibition. The moral considerations which to seuie are all important are swept aside. The lieport states: "The Board has not permitted its judgment to be influenced by tho moral aspect of the question, but has arrived at its conclusions quite apart therefrom." The, people should decide, therefore sign the' Alliance Monster Petition demanding k poll—Advt. EMPLOY US WHE>" MOVING. YOU'LL bFpLEASED. .Scores upon scores of people have testified to our care and skill. It indicates tho satisfaction we can give you, too. Splendid .equipment, trained experienced employees contribute to our wonderful success.
