THE MORE YOU SMOKE, THE MORE YOU DRINK?
(Special to the “ Star. ”) LONDON, July 15. The House of Lords debated a Bill promoted by Lord Balfour of Burleigh to provide better public houses. Lord Banbury moved the rejection of the Bill. "If a man or a woman chooses to get drunk,” he said, "it is their own look-out, but there are people who consider it to be their duty to see that nobody gets drunk, and therefore they bring forward temperance legislation. "I do not smoke,” added Lord Banbury, "but I am told that smoking makes you thirsty, and consequently the more you smoke the more you want to drink.”
