LIQUOR IN THE HOME Attorney General Holds Unlaw ful to Serve Liquor to Tour Friends in Tour Home; Mustn’t Restock Side Board Reno Gazette: People who are laying in a supply of intoxicating liquors in their homes in anticipation of serving drinks to their invited guests will run afoul of the law in case they pass the flowing bowl in that manner, according to an opinion given to Sheriff Ferrel by William McKnight, deputy Attorney General, i in response to questions asked by the Sheriff relative to the provisions of the new prohibition Act. The deputy Attorney General also holds that it will not be unlawful to have intoxicating liquor in the home for one’s own personal use after the law becomes effective, provided the liquor was procured prior to that date. In the opinion of the Attorney General, however, it will be contrary to the law to bring any liquor into the home after the law become op erative. The sheriff’s letter to the Attorney General reads: “In view of the fact that I am daily being asked by numerous per sons regarding the effect of the initi ative Act prohibiting the use of in toxicating liquors, I would most re spectfully request your opinion in answer to said questions in order that I may properly inform all per sons making inquiry regarding the same and be enabled to govern my action in accordance with the infor mation given. “Question number one—Will it be lawful when the law above referred to become effective for persons to have liquor in their homes for per sonal uses, and if so in what quan tities ? "Question number two—If you have friends invited to your home as guests can they be served such liq uors? “Question number three—What shall be done with liquor on hand after December 16, 1918 ? “Question number four—Does the law take effect twelve o’clock mid night on the 15th or twelve o’clock midnight on the 16th of December 1918?” The letter from the deputy attor ney general answers all but the ques tion as to what shall be done with the liquor on hand after the date the law becomes effective, and reads. “Replying to your recent letter, relative to the initiative prohibition measure, will say that your various questions, in our opinion, should be answered as follows: "One—It will not be unlawful, af ter the prohibition law becomes ef fective, for one to have intoxicating liquorin his home for his own personal use, provided such liquor is procuied and placed in such home prior to the time the law takes effect. “Two— Friends invited to the home as guests cannot be legally served with intoxicating liquor. “Three—The prohibition law will take effect at 12:01 a. m. December 17, 1918.” uTsThealth warns AGAINST FLU VACCINES The United States public health service in their public health reports, warn the public that the so-called cures for the influenza have been found to do more harm than good, and have issued the following on vaccines against influenza: “In view of the exaggerated and in some respects misleading state ments that have appeared in the public press regarding the value of bacterial vaccines in i he prevention and treatment of influenza and the pneumonias which so often compli cate it, the following statement is made: “f he evidence that has been pre sented thus far does r.ot warrant the reposing of confidence in any influen za vaccine for either prophylatic or therapeutic purposes. “Several vaccine preparations made of the influenza bacillus, some from streptococci, some from various types of pneumococci and other organisms have been recommended and used in various localities, and evidence has been advanced which has been held to show that the numner of persons attacked has been less and the deaths fewer among the vaccinated than among those who had not been treat ed. When, however, this evidence has been carefully analyzed it has been found that either there was no indication of protective or thera peutic value or there was no more than a suggestion that possibly some protection had been conferred. “At present it can be said that vaccines may be used in a purely ex perimental way and pains should be taken to collect data on the incidence of the disease among both the vacci nated and the unvaccihated. “The United States public health service urges the public to remember that there is as yet no specific cure for influenza, and that many of the alleged ‘cures’ and remedies now be ing recommended by neighbors, nos trum vendors, and others do more harm than good. The chief reliance must be on fresh air, nutritious food, plenty of water, cheerful surround ings, and good nursing. If any spe cific like a vaccine or serum is found to have value the public health ser vice will give the matter wide pub licity.”—Public Health Reports. | May Return Part of License Money In connection with the dry initia tive Act an opinion written by Mc Knight, deputy Attorney-General, holds that the owners of liquor licen ses paid up till the first of the year are entitled to rebate from the State and county for the days in December which they will not be allowed to op erate their places of business because of the fact that the Initiative Act be comes effective some time before January 1. Licenses are paid up till the first of the year and under the ruling of the Attorney-General re bates amounting to approximately one- sixth of each quarterly payment will be due to those who have licen ses good until January 1, 1919.
