It might easily seem credible to so gcod a woman that beer, for eN- amgIe, was dope" sufficiently potert to make men ready to con- nit acts from which they would shr.uz ill abhorrence if sober. Per hlps she believed the statement aud l-peated it only in her laud- able desire that all should under stand how Iepulsiye is war.
