British journalists, reports that
drinking is becoming Questionable
in good society IN England and di-
minishing among the working class.
England has no prohibition law.
We had no national prohibition law
in America before the war, yet it
was noticeable that drinking was
falling off everywhere. After pro-
hibition was enacted it became
fashionable to patronize bootleg
gers as gestate of defiance.
Now these def-art ones are not
getting the kick cut Of their at
titude which they got at first. and
drinking seems definitely on the
wane again. Good So. ;ety no longer
looks toleran;ly on drunkenness
Flask-toting is, rightly regarded as
childish.

pend upon at any time and that one
Aings is the Lord knows best, and
that He will not allow anything to
come upon his children beyond that
