Musoslini Tried

Even Mussolini tried to introduce a little restraint on too much. But there were those whose rights as moderates were infringed upon and though the decree to limit the hours of selling wine was. promulgated, a second decree followed which rendered the first decree almost inoperative. Now, wines are sold almost wide-open so that in any one of the twenty-four bouts of the day one can get a drink. There have been mutterings from reformers that Wine was causing the downfall of the Italian nation. These mutterings are limited to the particular circles of the mutterera. The Italian inn is such an institution for the husband, wife and children that

any mutterings would have to become blasts before they would be heard by the quiet family man who takes his drink surrounded by bis family.
