Noting the amazing progress"
made in the anti-alcohol sentiment,
Sir Thomas Barlow, at the 1nterna-
tional Congress of Medicine held a
few months ago in London, said that
"in the army and navy it has been
astonishing" While many societies
and philanthropic agencies have done
their share, this benef1cent change
is due, above all, he declared, to the
growth of altruistic conscience among
young oficers-even in the crack regi-
ments-and their consequent influence
upon the behavior of the men.
In commerce the change IS as great
Heads OF business houses much pre-

from sentiment, that alcohol takes
away control and spoils nervous reac'

made"
In the hospitals there Is nothing
less thar a revolution as regards the

The liquor traffic pays to wage
earners in the manufacture Of liquor
less than 46.000,00 annually.
But rs times as much is paid to
wage earners by the total number OF
