DRINK BILL
REDUCED IN BRITAIN. £6,000,000 DOWN. London, October 18. Great Britain’s drink bill has fallen by £6.000,000 in the oast nine months, though still totalling £227,600,000 The United Kingdom Alliance, in calling attention to the decrease, says that while the temperance society is too little recognised for its ■educational work, showing itself in the general improvement in sobriety, nevertheless, the industrial depression and high liquor price have also played a very important part. It adds that the consumption has reacted upon the nation’s life by diminishing its productivity, accentuating unequal distribution and low'.:ing the general standard of living.
