training for the nations defence, not
only commits a crime against the in
dividual but a reasonable act against

There can be no question that the
temperance and total abstinence cam
paigns Of the past few years have
brought about a marked change in
American life. It is no longer fash
ionable to serve wines and liquors in
the lavish way which obtained in for

a lasting victory is attested by the
large increase in territory covered by
prohibition laws and in the drastic
regulations governing the employment
