The foed regulations and restrictions in force today all over the world, even if they are abolished at the end of the great conflict, will have instilled such lessons in the minds of the people that economy and thrift will continue, by many from foree of habit and hy many more who see the advantages of abstaining from waste, Liquor has received its quietus in a large number of countries, the spread of prohibition having been hastened by the war. This cannot but benefit those whom it affects, ; On this North American con- tinent everybody is now foreed to work—the ‘slacker’ is elim- ‘inated. not be lost. Many people wha previously did not have to labor for their living are now compel- led to dotheir share. of work, Many of them will be grateful for the change. Army life and discipline has _re-established the lives of a vast number of men who, in pre-war! F days were regarded douhtfully by those who knew them, After the war these’ men’ will come back fellow-beings to be proud of. Some of them will not re- ‘turn. And let us not forget the won- ders wrought by the great spir- it of sacrifice extant in the world today. That “it is a greater blessing to give than to receive’ has not been better. exemplified than in the vast sacrifices that!" have been made, After the con- clusion of hostilities surely this beautiful spirit will continue to " move 'us humans here below, and the spirit of dog-eat-dog be allow- ed to die through disuse, Read This!
