TEMPERANCE REFORM [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sia,—The Spectator

could not have a wiser reform to advocate than that of " Pruden Futuri." Worked with intelligence and resolution it is certain to succeed. Experience during the War years proved how easy it is to regulate public drunkenness, provided curative and not vexatious principles are applied. You would render a public service if you gave this scheme your powerful support.—I am, Sir, &c., D'ABERNON. [A proof of the article " A Practical Proposal for Temperance Reform " was submitted to Lord D'Abernon. We are grate- ful to him for this notable appreciation.—En. Spectator.]
