NEW OVERSEAS ESTABLISHMENT, CANADIAN ARMY DENTAL CORPS. As we go to press the editor received a memorandum from England containing the details of a new overseas C. A. D. C. establishment. In a letter, accompany ing the memorandum, the writer says: “ I am enclosing herewith a copy of the establishment for England, which has been authorized by Canadian Headquar ters, and promulgated in routine orders the day before yesterday. Things are consequently looking considerably bright er for the future, and the joy of the present has obliterated the ‘impatient’ waiting, the up-hill fighting and the bit terness of delay during the past.” This forward step in England will
doubtless result, in the near future, in proper official recognition of the work of the C. A. D. C. in Canada and the early announcement of a permanent establish ment for the C. A. D.C. on a peace as well as a war footing. Appendix to Routine Orders. Director of Dental Services, C. O. M. F., March 28th, 1917. O rg a n iza tio n — Canadian A rm y Corps.

LETTER FROM SURGEON GENERAL, NAVY.
PHYSICIANS FAVOR PROHI BITION DURING WAR.
Washington, IX C., May 11, 1917. Dr. Otto U. King, The Journal of the National Dental As sociation, Huntington, Ind. My Dear Doctor: Your letter of the 7th instant has been received. Please accept my thanks for your kind offer of cooperation. I am forwarding under separate cover 40 sets of circulars of information re lating to the Dental Corps of the Navy. No applications for the Naval Reserve Force can be considered at this time. Very truly yours, W. C. BRAISTED, Surgeon-General, U. S. Navy.
At a meeting of the American Society for Clinical Investigation held in Atlantic City, May 1, under the presidency of Dr. Haven Emerson, health commissioner of New York City, a resolution was adopted recommending that the manufacture of alcoholic beverages and their importa tion to the United States be prohibited for the duration of the war and for at least one year thereafter. This action was based solely on medical grounds as it was felt that the present time affords an unprecedented opportunity for inau gurating a convincing demonstration as to the value of abstinence from alcoholic beverages.— The Journal o f the A. M. A.
