ing sleep, not altertness. 1t lowers

The French army was not ION the

The present crisis requires the
of ability, effort, economy,
and sacrifice of n~on-essentials ac-
cording to Miss Buckets who declares
hat of the long list of non-essentials
the use Of alcohol stands first.
"A consciousness is essential" she
declared, "of the real relationship |
