The present unsettled political con

keeping a large number of soldiers IN

A fact worthy Of notice is the nearly
complete absence of alcohol from the

the frontier. The water supply In tnat

alcohol" Is a dangerous misrepresenta'

1t has also been ascertained that
whenever a period of endurance was
required of the soldiers those VINO
took no alcohol were nue. more III

mountain climbing the consumption or
alcoholic beverages was distinctly de-
trimental to the accuracy Of stepping.
The effect of sweetened liquid (sweet
tea, coffee or milk was very gratify'

Turkish wine with a very low per
centage of alcohol was ranked with
these other beverages, but even TINS
wine was disallowed when long exer'

army authorities will no doubt lead to
