PROHIBITION IS NOT TEMPEBANCE. ... It is a very significant thing that the majority of the bishops and ministers of the Protestant Episcopal Church of America should have come out in favour of modifying the Prohibition law. They have found by experience that it is the enemy and not the ally of true temperance, and they have sanctioned a national \; campaign for altering its repressive ■ features. Increased drunkenness,, an alarming development of the drug habit, political corruption, and a hypocritical attitude towards the whole question are the 'outcome, they declare, of an impracticable law which time has proved to be inimical to the life of the nation. True temperance, they add, is an educational rather than a legislative problem. That conclusion is strongly supported by the report of. the Boyal Army Temperance Association. Although our standing forces at home and abroad number over 202,000 there were fewer than 260 magisterial convictions for drunkenness on the part of Army men. Yet thero is no Prohibition in s the English Army, but something far more valuable —sobriety. And this sobriety has been attained by teaching the men solf -respect, self-control, self-know-ledge, and by providing them with healthy open-air distractions. That is true temperance because it is founded on character. A moral reform that is evolved frjin within stands some chance of permanency. —Advt. NAZOL FOE COUGHS AND COLDS,.
