INTEMPERATE TEETOTALLERS
(COTJET JQTONAI.) The dearth of food in England is thought to hayo been brought about to some extent by the teetotallers, who make up for temperance in drink by intemperauco in diet. To watch these gentlemen at work on bread, fruit, vegetables, and meat, is certainly the sure way to be astonished. They are proud, too, of their powers, not having yet recognised the principle of temperance in all things, or that by stowing away a pound of beef at a meal they are simply taking their own 'bare and some one else's all at once. , hj" we have half a million or more act-,
ing daily on this increased consumption of food principle, it will make a very vast difference in the supply of the nation and the cost of provision, and we have a right to ask them to be moderate in all things, and to beg and entreat of them not to eat as though they were troubled with worms.
