Is it not time that something was done to conserve the food supply of Canada? We are face to. face with the effects of a war, the proportions and destructiveness of which is put ting the word "Armageddon" on the lips of thousands. In many parts of the world last year's crops were below the average* and next spring who is going to till the soil and BOW the seed in continental Europe, where millions of dead men's bones now lie? Russia has stopped the manufacture of alcohol, thus saving its contribution to the world's granary. Norway, with Scandiva vian frugality, has done likewise. Germany has cut down its manu facture of intoxicants 40 per cent, and in Sweden strong pressure is being brought upon the government to prohibit potatoes and corn being hied for the production of strong drink. .. Every Canadian patriot should rise up and demand that for the love of Home, Country, Empire and the world at large, our food stuffs should not, in the face of starvation in many quarters, be converted into that which is not bread, but, in ad dition, that which impoverishes the blood, lessens the producing power ot the one who drinks it, or, as in thousands of cases, makes him a de pendent. ?- Canada ?s in need of men. Over 7v000 of our citizens go down yearly to'drunkard s graves, to say nothing ?of those who are indirectly slaugh tered as a result of the drink traffic. ;.The Canadian government should make an immediate move to con serve our grains and other food products used in the manufacture of Canada's curse, and thus con serve the men who would be better employed stopping bullets than being bottle killed.-Canadian White.
