For the reason that a man who fears
a visit from the dengue 'breakbone' fe-
yer, or Is In the grip Of nostalgia, is en-
titled to his little nip when off duty the
regulations have not been pressed too
severely where the first slip Is made. But
where vino fiend is to be dealt with ex-
trene measures are taken, both for his
own good and for the good OF the service.
For the first offense the usual sentence
IS ten OF fifteen days or fine Of $40.
The second time the offender gets q
months Imprisonment and is fined a
months pay, for things are getting se-s
r1ous then Three more times he may
come up for mere drunkenness and will
be- dealt with comparatively lightly The
sixth time, however, dubs him as a vino
tend, and 1t Is lucky for him if he has
not committed some deed Of violence by
that time. He then may receive dis
honorable discharge with one or two
years imprisonment in addition This,
Of course, Is for serious cases, and by
that time the case is serious, for it is
evident that vino has a hold on him. Il

don't stagger then, but show their con.

#s Now You must not think that such
drinking is general as quite the contrary
Is the case Our men are sensible there,
as elsewhere, and I only have given you
the most extreme Illustrations to show
what dangerous drink vino is. Prob
ably the worst of all drinkers there, and
those who give the most trouble, are
sailors or men discharged from trans
ports. They fall into the vino habit
quickly, as the stun Is cheap and may
be had everywhere you can ind Fill

diers or sailors don't ruin themselves
that way deliberately. IL they fall It is
because the stuff has taken grip on
them before they know 1t. Their officers
and surgeons look on it as a disease, and
treat It accordingly.
OF course there are many other drinks
there. but never heard of a native beer,
There is lot OF different brands OF cor
dials. Most Of them came from Spain
originally, and when pure do little harm,
but they are like fire after being mixed
with native spirits. Anisado is rather
sweet cordial, and there Is q more power

anise del mono, at least that is how they
pronounce the name. II Is peculiarly
pungent, and after taking swallow OF It
q man must hold his breath and keep his
mouth tightly closed until he can count
