THE ARMY CANTEEN QUESTION.
From the Blue Shirt and Khaki)

The use of spirituous liquors has been
established in the British army many
years. and the issuanceIs still carried on
in the same manner that 1t was years
ago. | do not think these is as much to-
bacco used in the British army as In ours
although | have nothing but personal OBJ
servation to Judge by in the superstition;
but the Briusher wants his 'grog' in
the army quite the same as In the navy.
The issue is about half gill of rum per
day. The quality used is Of tho very best
known, and il comes from a stock bought
by the government in Jamaica about forty
years ago. Tho last Of that old supply is
now being used The use If liquor as a
part of tho ration in the British army is
almost as old as The army itself
In the British army the use of large
quantities Of jam is supposed To prevent
to a degree, the craving for liquor and
consequently it is issued to the men rcCu-
larly Ten is also a part of the British
ration that is never used in the Ameri-
can army as our men do not want it,
The American soldier laughs when he
hears of British troops In the field being
served with afternoon tea; but its use Is
SO universal in the British Empire that
the men crave II as our men crave coffee.

Telephones in Rural Districts.

While Burlington is intercstedin the tclc-
phone at the present time chiefly through
the burying of the wires in our streets,
the public in general is discussing the
question what effect the introduction of
the telephone in rural communities will
have upon the social conditions in such
communities 1t has been "A faVorite the
Ory that one of the chief causes of the
flow of population from the country to the
cities is the isolated situation in which
most farmers find the mselves. This may
be true, but 1t is worthy of thought that
as soon as Il man has accumulated a vast
fortune one of his first steps is to secure
place in the country to which he can
retire with his family and enjoy the very
conditions to escape which some people
are said to fee to the cities, But grant
ing this theory TO be correct, the fact re-
mains that any influence, like the free ru-
raj delivery. which helps 10 lessen this
isolation must tend to check urban growth
at the expense of the country towns.
That the general introduction of the tele-
phone in rural communities will have a
more pronounced influence In this direc-
ton than almost any other agency that
could be named, will become evident upon
a moments consideration. With a tele-
phone instrument installed in the farm
house it will be possible for the good
housewife, when wearied by her labors to
sit down for a chat with her ndghbor
about social events, church work, the
fashions or other matter In which they
may be mutually interested, and at a
nominal cost, cheap service being one Of
