Do you know where there are any

please report this information to the
Red Cross Society. Dressings made
oS this moss are being used in every
hospital and dressing station serving
the Allied Armies.
AS far back as the Napoleonic wars
moss was used for this purpose but
not until 1915 did any large demand
for it arise. In 1916 it was found
that the supply of moss available in
England was insufficient and an ap-
peal was made to Canada. Canada
answered that call as she has an
swered all others for help and sup
plies. Prof. Porter of McGill Uni
versity, explored the bOgs of eastern
Nova Scotia in an endeavor to locate
moss similar to the samples sent over
from England His hunt was re-
warded by finding a grade of moss
which the medical authorities pro-
nounced perfect and the first

He has, however, declined to eXer-
else this authorization on the ground
that to prohibit the manufacture of
beers and wine would tend to place
the country on a whisky basis, and
that this would defeat the temper
ance aims of the legislation. Food
Administrator Hoover has concurred
with the President in this view.
Nearly a Temperance Drink
The food administration has re:
duced the alcoholic content of beer:
to a maximum of 2.75 per cent,
which places such beverages, it is
pointed out. very close to the cate
CORY of temperance drinks. From
the temperance standpoint, it is
therefore contended. the food ad-
ministration has acted to meet the
intent of the legislation.
While officials of the food admins
tration decline to comment on the
situation presented by the Randall
amendment, it is known that they
hope that the proposal will be
stricken from the measure in the
Senate. To make the proposal law
would not be in the interest of war

has been of inestimable value. Not
only have moss and dressings been
prepared in large quantities, but ex-
periments have been carried on to
test the value of various Canadian
MOSES. The Union was organized
during the first weeks of the war
from among the families of the Gov
ernors and staff of the University,
and has been active ever since in
providing Soldiers comforts" for
McGill graduates and students on
active service. Some conception of
the amount of work done by these
women can be cleaned from the fact
that McGilPs quota numbers more
than 2,200. The accompanying
photographs show members of the
Union working on moss in its vari-
Gus stages of preparation. Inquiries
regarding this work may be address

satisfactorily more than one master.
This was the view assumed by the
banking community which pointed
out that the responsibility of finding
competent successors to the deposed
officials was clearly up to the Gov
ernment. Railroading is a highly
specialized service, which has been
developed in this country as nowhere
else in the world. 1t is to be hoped,
therefore. that this change in the
personnel of those in command of a
great industry will not result in
making a railroad carer less at
tractive to young men. This will
depend on what happens to the
roads after the war is over and the
serious work of restoring peace is
taken up. If the new :order of
things takes away initiative and
forces the president to give rubber
stamp approval to orders issued by
Government officers higher up few
railroad geniuses will be developed,
and the nation needs men of the

efficiency. it is contended, so long as
saloons in many states are still privi-
legged to sell whisky.
7 How long the existing stocks of
whisky will last is the subject mat
ter of much differing conjecture.
When the law prohibiting the use
of food materials in the manufacture
of distilled liquors became effective
last year. it was estimated that there
was about a three-year supply of
whisky in the country. This re-
serve, however, was probably larger
than a three-year normal supply on
account of the heavy distilling oper-
ations during the last few months
prior to the enactment of the legis-
lation.
Officials now estimate that there is
estimators calculated would be the
case probably less whisky in stor-
age than at this time. This has been
caused by abnormally high with
drawals for private holdings in an
ticipation of absolute prohibition, it
is stated. There is, however, still
enough whisky in reserve, it is
stated. to operate to the disadvan-
tage of the war program in the
event that the manufacture of beers
is stopped by the proposed amend
ment to the agricultural bill.

sphagnum moss dressings 70 be sent
overseas were made from this moss
in the fall of 1916 by the Junior Red
Cross of Guysboro, Nova Scotia.
To the late Harry James Smith of
New York is due much credit for the
progress of this work. At his own
expense, he established a sphagnum
organization at Arichat, N. S.; ex-
plored various localities on both the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts for moss
fields; collected, prepared and do
mated to the Red Cross great guam
titles of this moss. When the Amer
lean Red Cross formed a sphagnum
department it was placed under his
control. Mr.. Smith was killed in an
automobile accident in British Co.
lumbia in March, while searching for
moss for the Canadian Red Cross,
and thus set the seal to life of ex-
ceptional generosity and nobility.
