Army Canteen Debate Cites Temperance and Discipline

The system aims to temperance and improve discipline through a cooperative exchange with reading rooms, games, and mail. Corbin notes fewer court-martial trials, fewer desertions, and better health as outcomes, and compares army beer expenditures to civilian rates. The piece includes a medical endorsement for a remedy.
