to aid in giving them a fitting fare.

that very thing on the ground that
the drafted men were "slackcrs' and
had not joined the army as volunteers.
The young men Who have gone
forth to war under the provisions Of
the CONSUMPTION act are entitled to the
fullest hunors and tho highest graft
t,,de of their fellow citizens. They arc
every hi, as worthy as though they
had volunteered. Many Of them did
not voluntarily enlist for very ado

They are our soldiers. They so forth
to fight our battles, to preserve our
homes and our rights Of liberty and

slightest reflection on the spirit OF
purpose of these brave fellows should
lie ostracZcd Ivy his fclloWmcn. II

not a gentleman, he should receive

BOOZE.

Another bell rang on booze last
night. At eleven O'Clock the manu-
tacture of distilled liquors in this
country ceased for the duration Of the
war. AS a result. many millions Of
bushels Of grain used for drink will be
released for food We arc told that the
supply of whiskey is SO large that no
one will actually suffer for the want
of it. ~ the same time the price has
been raised indicating that dealers in
the stuff have some doubts. 1t will
NO, hc long. we guess, before the man
who must have ~ shot of booze" viii
know that the country is at war
The duration of the war may be q
long period Of time. Suppose that tn,
supply of whislicy is actually en-
haustcd meanwhile. Think Of that as
u War horror. Think of a whole MA
ton of people actually forced into tn,

Washington in summer was a thing to
be dreaded.
The capital from the end Of June to
