become almost national drinks. In
 the year 296, a Roman chronicler says
 that the Britons produced so much
 grain that they had enough of a sur
 plus over the amount needed for bread-making to brew a drink that was comparable to wine. This was evidently beer or ale.
 Here and there, in the early writers of England, one comes across a re- former who deprecates the drinking habits of the people, but there was evidently no intention to try prohibi- ton. Yet that there was a feeling that intoxicating drinks were bad for the people is detected even in the things written by those who defended them. Chroniclers who defended the general use of intoxicating beverag ages found it hard to defend the abnormal amount of drinking that went on, so they abused other people for debasing the good old customs. Thus the Danes were said to have intensified the An

One of the early episodes of Eng fish history in which alcohol plays a part concerns Alfred the Great, the ablest and noblest sovereign that England ever had. But the alcohol in the episode was drunk by the King s foes and not by Alfred.
 The ruler of the struggling little communities that were being harried by Danish raiders was anxious to find out the intentions of his foes. So. dis Euised as a minstrel, he made his way into their camp and was entertained by him. While he sang the soldiers grouped about him, drank themselves into unconsciousness until the whole camp of his foes was steeped in drunkenness.
 This is not, however. the first men tion of alcohol in English chronicles, Long before the time of Alfred, as far back as that remote period when the Romans landed on the island that was then regarded as remote and bar barous, the natives had found out for

glo-Saxon liking for drink untI 1t had
 become a positive passion. And the
 Normans, troubled by the amount of
 drinking that went on, took pains to
 explain that their people had not in
 dulged so generously when they first
 came into England. but that they had
 been corrupted by the customs they found there.
 In the Anglo-Saxon period women were far from abstemious. There seems to have been complete equality of the sexes in the nun rous taverns that were scattered about the coun- try The women of the higher classes also drank, but they were more re- strained. They sat at the tables of feasts and joined in the drinking g while the cups passed about slowly. But when the men began to call for pOtations more frequently and the talk began to get unrestrained then the women usually retired from the tables.

themselves how to make intoxicating drinks. The Romans found that mead was very popular among the veal thier tribesren and that mead-mak- CTS were held in high honor. On a list of high officials at one of these earlier English courts, the man who made mead ranked 11th in social standing, being higher than the court physician.
 A more common drink was cider, but this was evidently not the sweet cider of New England farms. It was evidently very hard cider, as the Ro- mans discovered that the common people were extremely fond of it and that it caused a great deal of drunk enness. Just how many generations before the Romans came the people had discovered how to make mead and cider is one of the things that will never be known. Nor is it pos sible to find out when the English first made beer and ale, which have
