Over '£4,000,000 is being spent yearly, | in drink in New Zealand," Raid Mr. (J. jT. Booth at a meeting held in Christchurch a few days ago to discuss the question of six o'clock closing of hotelß. "That is a tremendous waste. lam not here as a prohibitionist. lam not evoa a teetotaller, but I think that much can | be done to remedy that waste. Take tl)8 } man who has, say, four drinks a day. If lie decided to have throe each day instead of four, the country will 'save £1,000,000 ii year. If lie cuts down liis liquor by two glasses, £2,000,000, or half tho amount spent each year in drink, will be .saved. I am perfectly willing to give Up one or two, or more drinks each day j out of four, and 1 am perfectly certain that no harm will come to me by so doing, but that I and the country will b» all the better lor it," -
