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

which they will not be allowed to op
erate their places of business because
of the fact that the Initiative Act be
