WAR AND TEMPERANCE,

(Trom the Lowell Courier Citlzen)
1t is evident that the demon rum is To
be hard hit by the war, Medical experts
long ago decided that alcohol should
form no part of soldiers or a sailor $
ration. Hence in this country grog was
cut out of the navy and every one knows
that the enlisted man in the army has
lost his canteen. The fighters abroad are
carrying ort the same idea. Russia, which
has been cursed by the national drink,
vodka, has stopped its sale throughout
the empire and Of course It's soldiers do
not get the 'hoOze." Going farther, the
Russians closed the beer shops in East
Prussia Lord Kitchener Is down ON the
use of liquor in the British army and the
chances are that all the soldiers are on
the water wagon Even France does not
allow the drinking OF wine by her fight
ing forces. though 1t Is probable that the
