munitieS In this country consume more
beer in proportion to the population
than the towns Of Virginia and
Gold Hill ; at least we judge so from
the fact of such a number of breweries
being 80 we'll sustained and so many
beer saloons so literally %patronized.
And this beer drinking Is not confined
to the Germans BY any means, for
Americans, English, Cornish, Irish,
all like lager. The French, however,
are not quite so fond Of 1t, preferring
even poor claret to beer. After all
beer, although not exactly a Good
Templar beverage, Is a thousand times
less destructive to human health and
lite than whisky or other strong liq-
uors. Indeed, some good authorities
on the subject claim that beer Is a
good healthy general beverage. One
OF our exchanges says: "The superb
GRITTY Of beer as a wholesome and re-
freshing beverage 10 claimed to have
been most satisfactorily demonstrated
during the late war between Germany
and France. In their official reports
TO the Medical Board, the German
military surgeons bear witness to the
advantages Of beer v wine, espe-
clally the poor common wines OF the
Champagne and other wine producing
parts Of the country they took posses
sion OF, and still to a certain extent
occupy. They state 1t to be the Pc
culiarly refreshing property OF the
carbonic acid gas contained In beer
that makes 1t snch grateful beverage,
after q long and fatiguing march, or
when fairly worn out by the excite
ment Of q days hard fighting. But
they lay much greater stress on the
use of beer in the hospitals and field
ambulances, where It was admins
tered, when II could be obtained, with
great success, both to the wounded and
diseased soldiers"
