average American man. For his daugh-

In a recent charming story of child life
there is an episode of a boy who is for

-Drunkards' retreats have now been in
existence in England for fifteen years
The principle on which they are conducted
is to make the patient stop drinking at
once and to make them abstain entirely
for a long period, twelve months when
possible, keeping them busy during that
time. The patients always come in an ad-
