[Court Journal.] The dearth of food is thought to have been brought about to some extent by the teetotalers, who make up for tem perance in drink by intemperance 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 principles of temperance in all things or that by stowing away a pound of beef at a meal they are simply taking their own share and some one else’s all at once. If we have half a million or more acting daily on this increased consumption of food principle, it will make a very vast difference in the sup-, ply of the nation and the cost of pro visions 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.
