FOR the six months prior to the law

In the state of Virginia, which occur
ed at midnight October 81. 1915, 1t
was a theme OF general conversation
among members OF the home that the
clientele OF the Southern branch
would sadly suffer In numbers and
that many would HE themselves to
more congenial chimes wherein the
booze could be had ad it, providing
one had the price. 1t has been close

to the great loss of membership on
account OF this action. has not only
petered out hot air, but on the other
hand has caused hundreds of new ap-
rlicants to apply for admission. and

the sale OF liquor. Prior to this ac-

aware of the fact how severe the

who made up the aggregate OF offend

readily show the demand for stimu-

such an expert manner that. much to
the credit of the hospital Authorities,
not a fatality occurred from alcoholic

On the whole it may prove to be
the wisest act possible that the Vir-
ginia legislature. and the vote of the
people, has dovetaiIed the state to the
Cry column. At this writing the

The boast too OF those who have
been habituated to a certain quota OF
liquor and beer each day. of leaving
the home has also petered out, and all
told less than score OF this class has
left. OF course there has always been
considerable drinking INDUCED. but
even this being so there has not at
Sny time but what the elimination OF
one hundred OF this class from the ag-
kregate. and excessive drinking would
not effect the home or its discipline.
When the canteen was in vogue there
was but little whiskey drinking. and
its abolition has done more real harm
and made a greater consumption OF
spirituous liquors than those on the
outside have any idea Of Then mem
ters were content with the stimulant
The home afforded. but since they
have been deprived OF this privilege
and are necessitated to go outside
the home to satisfy an appetite they
ave nursed for scores of years they
became habituated to drink some
thing stronger than beer, and SO this
has grown upon many who today will
drink 1t no matter what the conse-
ouences may be. And right here is can
be truthfully said that 1t is this class
alone, and fortunately they are few
in number, who have left the home.
Up to the time tho state OF Virginia
went dry there were noise and turbu-
lence in plenty. after pay days, the
puard house was always we'll filed
