MY experience goes to prove that the
effect of wine, taken as preliminary
to imaginative work, is to blind the
writer to the quality of what he pro-
duces rather than to raise its quality

AN international agreement has been

perceive all goodness emptied out of
him, and yet not be able to forget a

ants of our prisons, accustomed to it
all theirlives. and the majority of them
brought into prison directly or indi-
rectly by the use of it, could be. and
were, from the moment of their i'm
prisonment, absolutely deprived of it,
not only without loss, but with entire
gain to their personal health. Men
enter prison sickly and blighted, are
deprived of drink, and leave prison
strong and hale; and women who,
when incarcerated, are hideous to look
upon. after being made compulsorily
