Yet he was as brave as he was thin:

|. The-to some-doleful prediction is
made by the chief experts of the New
York Liquor Dealers Association that,
owing to the ceasing of manufacture
and the new war tax, whiskey Is
likely to reach the staggering price
OF 81 a drink in the near future. The
same cause. they think, will automati-
cally abolish treating.
This prospect ought not to be taken
deeply to heart by anybody. The con-
frned whiskey drinkers must. per-
force, drink less of the stuff, while
the "moderates" may drop it altogeth-
er. They will all be better off, and
the world will wag along In flrmer
style.
If whiskey were to reach SO a
drink, mankind would be still more

specific she showed samples of all the
many kinds of surgical dressings, de-
scribed just how they We're made and
what their purpose was. In some cases
she demonstrated the use of the
bandages through having Master Wal
ter Sargent act as a patient. The
various knitted articles were also
shown. OF special interest was the
trench candle made of newspapers,
which the women are making now.
They are very easy to make and one
candle will last nearly an hour. Three

soup, and one will warm liquid. These
have the advantage of giving no
smoke. Mrs. Sturgis said that part Of
the dressing she showed were used in
the temporary hospitals three miles
back of the firing line where first aid
is given. others at another hospital
three miles farther back where the
patients are carried after first-aid
treatment M still others in the base
