TEMPERANCE IN ENGLAND.
Americans Setting the Fashion with Iced
Drinks.

From the London Erpreas
The remarkab wave Of temperance which
Is at present spreading all over the country
Ia said to be due in the first place to economic
conditions and secondly to the great change
In public taste.
-One Of the chief reasons OF the decrease
in the national drink BILL said John T. Rae,
secretary OF the National Temperance League.
lis the striking condemnation OF the use of
alcohol by some OF the most influential medi-
cal authorities.
Another important factor In the decreased
consumption OF wines and spirits Is the fashion
set by the large number Of American visitors,
who show q reparkab able preference for iced
temperance drinks. t,
"The total abstinence Of the majority OF
tho labor leaders Is also beginning to tell on
the laboring classes and members OF trade
unions, many OF whom are now beginning to
realize that teetotalism Is an important step
ping stone to their future progress"
There Ia no doubt" the manager Of one
Of the largest firms OF wine merchants told
an Erpress representative. that the decrease
In wine and spirit drinking Ia due to the pres
ent tightness Of money and the high rate of
the income tax. In consequence Of this the
public are only spending about half Is much
on wines q they were formerly In the habit
Of doing"
