SIOO, 1000, 900 Lost in the Drink Traffic
in Germany Alone.

A German statistician, DR.. Wilhelm
Bode, has worked out some interesting
conclusions from the imperial returns re-
garding alcoholic beverages. He finds that
the production of material converted into
beer, wine and spirits in 1SS9-90 occupied
about one-ffth of the whole cultivated
land of the country, and that if the i'm
mense field thus devoted to the liquor traffic
were utilized for the production offood there
might be raised on it yearly a quantity of
rye sufficient to make ,, PIP, 900, 600 pounds
of bread, which forms the chief subsistence
of the lower classes. This would supply
fifty millions of people in Germany with
65t pounds apiece, or enough to last a
family of eight persons for six or seven
weeks. DR.. Bode estimates the loss in
money at no less than 800, 100000. The
men employed in this industry constitute
one-fourteenth of the productive industry
of the country. These are suggestive facts,
which have an important bearing on the
subject of temperance in this and other
countries.
