DRUNKENNESS IS REDUCED
Cut OF Eighty-tWo Per Cent Accord
ing to Experts Report.

London, August 1S-[By MALL
Compulsory temperance has reduced
drunkenness in England approximate
ly eIghty-two per cent since the war
began. 1t has increased industrial
efficiency of the nation many fold and
made return to the old regime of un :
restricted alcoholism impossible after
the war.
This is the purport of a report to the
British people by Lord D'Abernon,
chairman of the board of liquor con-
troll.
Liquor may be sold but only at GER
tain hours and in limited quantities.
Saloons are allowed to sell alcoholic
drinks only five hours out of every
twenty four. If a dispensary sells out
its quota before closing time, it's pa
irons have the alternative of soft
drinks or going home.
Treating has been prohibited by
law. The bartender who tolerates it
is liable to fine and establishments
license may be revoked.
The liquor board believes abolish
ment of the treating system has play
ed an extremely important part in
counteracting excessive drinking.
A dynamic substitute for the bar
room and ''free lunch" counter as a
social gathering place has been found
in the new canteens the government
and various private concerns have OPP
ened where large numbers of laborers
are employed-near the ship docks
and munition factories. The govern
ment canteens are operated without
profit, and the privately owned eat
ing places aim to charge but little
more than enough to pay expenses
The strength of alcoholic beverages
has also been lessened, the average
6ilution being about 25 per cent. Dis
tilling of spirits except for war. or
medicinal purposes was stopped two
years ago. $500
