We have carefully considered the resO-

tended to correct serious abuses under the
present Jaw, which result in drunkenness,
desertiOn, INSTRUMENTATION, dishonorable
discharge, crime, poverty, appalling in
crease in disease and invaIidSm among
the soldiers of the United States Army.
We find that the experience of the for
eign Governments comedies with that of
the National Association of Military Sur
geOnS IN the necessity for the army post
exchanges, or canteen.
We recommend that the American Med
ical Association adopt the resolution pro-
posed. anu tldL IL petltloH -tne Congress OIL
the United States to repeal at the earliest
moment, the Objectionable law which pro-
Nhibits the army post exchange.
The Association then adopted the fol
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That this body deplores the
action of the Congress in abolishing the
army post exchange or canteen, and in
the interest of discipline, morality, and
sanitation, recommends its re-estab-
lishment at the earliest possible date.
