DRINK AND FOOTBALL.

One objection TO such gatherings deeply
felt in past times is now being greatly
abated By the action of those directing af-
fairs. who have removed announcements
to drinking. This is a social gain of high
kind. The sharp and short contest OF the
football field has so concentrated atten-
ton on the movement of the teams
that the risk has been swept away.
The evil has been run out" Ac-
tive. we'll directed interest would easily
drive the evil from all annual gather
ings for athletic sports. Amanly Christian
spirit among the young men Of any district
viii readily give healthy tone to arrange
ments, and will confer advantage which,
though it be not reported in the press. will
carry blessing into many homes, while 1t
helps 10 fix the general character OF assem-
hlies for public amusement. BY all means
let US Danish the intoxicants.

TIE FzELNo AGAINST FOOTBALL.

But there are other things to be eonsid-
cred. What. for example. is the meaning
OF the largely-expressed dislike of foot
ball? 1t is rough game, and we are con-
stantly hearing of dangers and accidents.
The consequence is that, slongside the
large measure of popularity, there Is very
active antagonistic feeling IN society.
Our football players can change this state
of things. and It is of consequences that
they should. To say this il to admit that
there Is ground for the adverse opinion.
and that the game itself is such as calls
for self-restrsint. To escape false issues
it is needful to see that tho explanation OF
the adverse criticism is not TO DO found in
the contrast between "Associatien" rules
and Rugby rules. Both can DO played

placed in one of the consulting rooms.
The patients are by no means oi the low

have those who are little tough, yet as u
general rule they are very respectable
and orderly set of people. Physicians are
at the building ut all hours between .
o'clock in the morning and in the after
noon. Their services are given voluntarily
to the institution, and, in fact, the whole
dispersaty is run ON charitable system.
The institution Is supported by contribu.
