RUM RATION.
Rev. James Dlac k, of Edinburgh, who has served as chaplain for two Scottish battalions, writes: “What effect on conduct after the war will the rum ration have on the thousands of young l.ids, mam of whom have never tast'*d intoxicating liquor before? 1 am certain that even momentarily it had a ruinous effect on the men when given in the usual doses before a big action The vitality of a wounded man with little in him except rum is seriously lowered, and the effects of exposure are greatly im reased. But afterwards What about the new habit and the acquired liking?”
