IDEAL FOR GREAT BRITAIN
Land Where No Drunkard May Be
Seen. Staggering to Doom and Curse
Of Drink Driven Away.

The Hon. Lloyd-George says Our
ideal for Great Britain is land where
no drunkard may be seen staggering
down the road to his certain doom; a
land where there are no slums for hu-
manity to rot in; a land with two
thirds of its prison cells empty, with
its work houses abolished, with its
children well born, well fed, well shell
tered, well clothed, well trained. and
where the merry laughter OF the chill
dren may be heard in the streets; a
land where the curse of strong drink
has been driven from every single
hearth" And, in order to attain this
ideal Dr. w. A. Chapple says, I'VE must
educate. educate, educate, educate"

tendent of the department of scientific
