W.C.T,U. Notes.
At the regular meeting of the Union
on Monday the educational suhjeets
under discussion were The Press (snot.
Mts. MCGillicuddy)and Work Among
Soldiers (Mrs. Geo. Acheson, supe.)
The work to connection with this de-
partment tieing' prevention of the sale
of intoxicants in centeeus at the 01111
Lary camps, or rather the enforcing of
the law prohibiting the sale of "spirit-
uous (including venue) and emelt ltquore
of any kind. within the limits of camp
grounds. during the tmnuual training tit
the militia of Canada.” This law was
enacted In 1893, enforced in 1844-5,
ane then dropped so completely into
oblivinu ORM. urilitary 11)80 supposed
it repealed. Under this supposition
the old -tone canteen bar was doing
business uumolested, up to last June.
A TEST CASE.
To get a test case, the London
Camp was picked out fou investiga-
tion. Positive evidence, showing that
nine canteen bows were running eight
And day. Sunday included, was sent
to the Minister of Mitit.ia, together
with the names of officers who testi-
fied to this. Instead of holding the
investigation urged upon him, Dr.
Bolden contented himself with deny-
ing the whole thing of the evidence
of General Hutton. Here is what the
London News—a dully paper with a
very large circulation—sins of Gener-
al Hutton's defile' :—•• Every day dur-
ing the camp Ma'or General Hutton,
accompanied by his st,ttY, rode past
`hese canteens while they were in
full swing. with rows of red coats and
civilians standing outside of them
drinking beer, and if his pnwete of
observation were not sufficient to en•
able him to see what was going on,
then he Is not a tit and proper man
to command the Oanadie.n Militia."
Mrs. Thor•uiey. in her annual Ad•
dress, says: "We repeat that liquor

evidence to prove it. and defy con-
tradiction. Major General Hutton
says this is not No. Let nie give you
a few suggestive items; A canteen
proprietor told a London gentleman
that After paying all expenses he
cleated $600. The camp lasted ten
days ; hie average gain wris $60 per
day. The soldtern received, per duty.

took, each day. the full day's
pay of 1200 men to make this canteen
profit (leaving' out of count his neces-
sary expenses). and there were eight
other canteen•salotns to share the pat-
ronage.

The friends of one young man in the
Huron division told our shpt. that he
spent at the canteen tilt the money he
received and was $8.51) In debt when
the camp closed. One Of the officers
in this battalion est the pace for his
subordinates by taking them in as body
to the canteen and treating all who
would to liquors. How few would
