PITRIOTIC ABSTINEHCE Sir.-I write to say that l am in hearty accord with the present total Abstinence Movement and to express my approval of the suggestions of your correspondent "Temperance" and your editorial comments thereon. The tempenance button suggested to be worn by all persons signing the ab- stinence pledge would not only be an appropriate souvenir of the war but n public proof of the patriotic and tem- perance sentiments of the wearer. For these reasons all Public Departments whether Civic, Provincial or Federal; banks, corporations, business houses and all employers of labor would ex- pect to see the button worn by all per- sons in their service.
