BEER AND THE ARMY
Some Views on the Canteen
Question by Medical Authority.

In a discussion OF Beer and Tobacco
and the Army Canteen,' THE Medical
Record" i'm it's current issue says:
"A serious objection 10 the army cam
teen as il formerly vas is that II en-
couraged the moderate use OF beer. which
is regarded by many as one of the most
Objectionable forms OF alcoholic drinks.
and the immoderate use OF tobacco.
which. when smoked in excess, is more
Injurious to the average man than is
alcohol To the layman. and even 10
many medical men. these statements may
cause surprise, but there is not wanting
abundant evidence 20 support them. II ~
the fashion now 10 credit alcohol with
most Of the ills OF modern life, but there
are none so illogical as the professional
antl-alcoholsts. Every evil mental,
moral or physical. that befalls one who
drinks moderately or immoderately is
laid TO alcohol, with no discrimination as
to the kind OF alcoholic beverage INDUCED
in and with no recognition OF the fact
that most OF the men who drink also
smoke, often Unexpectedly
Intestinal autontoxication may not be
the cause Of all the ills with which II Is
credited, but there is no doubt il con-
tributes 10 the production OF some and
the aggravation Of more, and II is recog-
nized that beer OF all the alcoholics is
the most apt to aid intestinal putrefac-
ton, to say nothing OF the injury TO the
heart that habitual excess in this indul-
eence Is known to cause. That tobacco
is a heart poison is freely admitted. but
the injury II causes is lightly spoken OF
as functional, and few seem to realize
that the extreme cardiac arrhythmia
which the drug may cause is but a step
removed from cardiac failure.
whether habitual beer drinking at the
canteen. with the excess in smoking
which is liable to accompany 1t. causes
more physical injury than an occasional
excess in whiskey drinking outside the
post is a question which calls for more
careful study than 1t has received. Con-
corning the relative morality OF the two
there can be no question"
