SALVATION ARMY.
A NEW INEBRIATE HOME.' \ BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION. WELLINGTON, July 14. Mr Jas. McKenzie, editor of the "War Cry," states that the Salvation Army's Inebriate Home at Pakatoa, near Auckland, has proved too small for the adequate accommodation of the patients. There are row between thirty and forty patients undergoing treatment, and the Salvation Army authorities have now arranged to acquire Ruth hland, the negotiations having just been completed. Pakatoa Island is only leased, but Ruth Island, which is but half a mile distant from Pakatoa, is being bought outright. There are over three hundred acres of land on the newest purchase, and this will give opportunity for work which the patients did hot poesess on the more circumscribed island of Pakatoa, which has"an area of only sixty acres. It will now be possible to classify the patients with a completeness that hitherto could not be attained.
