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," -
