There is another point to be taken Into consideration. America has never been anything else but a very temperate country taken an the whole. A dozen years ago when I was in the United States I remember noting how at private dinners and

[Frank Dizot In "People's Journal."

There is to be a determined effort and the expenditure of much money to secure compulsory teetotalism for Britain. The effort is being made largely by Americans, exhilarated, no doubt, by their success in the United States which is now absolutely "dry" There is steady confidence on the part of the apostles of Pro bibition, American and British, that they will succeed in their purpose, and that by 1925 at the latest this country, like America, will have made it a criminal offence even to carry a small fast of brandy in one's pocket for medicinal purposes.

Many scoff at the possibili y of such a thing coming to pass in Britain, but it is as well to remember that there was almost equal incredul ousness in America five-years. ago. It is as well to bear in mind also that many temperance measures brought 1: to effect during the war in Britain proved beneficial, helped out effective ne 93 in war by increasing production, and left a lesson for our strenuous semi-public dinners, and even at period of reconstruction.

Drink in this country, with all its attendant evils, has something to be said for it. The want of it in the human system is much more pro-i nounced than it is in America. The effect on the human system is not so great. There will moreover, un doubtedly be restrictions in the sale. of liquor as compared with pre-war times, and those restrictions will have a good deal of effect on temperance. There is a growing movement also to remodel the public-house, a movement which bas gathered impetus during the war and sooner or later it must result in action. The limitation of hours during which drink can be obtained the prevention of the sale of bottles. of spirits during week-end, these and kindred measures, the outcome of war time experience, would undoub edly have a good effect...
