Whisky Barred.

r HE use of whiskey and other alcoholic
beverages by government or municipal
! employees during hours of service Is
practically prohibited IN Belgium,
with the result that drunkenness Is rarely
met with in any branch OF the public SER
vice. and never among railroad employees
In fact. it may be said that while certain
qualities Of cheap gin are available TO the
poorest classes Of laborers. drunkenness
among them Is the exception and not the
rule The prevalence OF mild. cheap
wholesome brews Of barley beer and light
wines at moderate prices diverts the tasts
from alcoholic beverages which are more
costly
The importance Of prohibiting the use
OF all forms of intoxicating LIQUORS bv rail-
way employees is not only realized In Rel
GUM, but also in the Empire Of Germany
where the director general Of the RAILWAYS
IN Alsace-Lorraine has forbidden their
use by those engaged on the railways dur
ins their hours of service. This rule an
plies to all grades in the service and to All
hours Of the day. A first offence Is nnnish
able by loss of grade and the second bv ais.
missal from the service. This measure W. g
taken in consequence Of the accidents
which have grown TO be rather treatment
both on the railway and in the workshons
u may be added that some Of the rail-
way companies of the United States. nota-
bly, the Pennsylvania, have adopted sim
lar strict regulations against LIQUOR drinlr-
ing by their employees.
