Few people know the extent of the
drink bill of the people of the United
States. Every year it amounts to more
than our national debt. The bill for the
alcoholic drinks alone makes a sum equal
to The interest bearing Indebtedness of
the United States. According to statis-
tics compiled by the "American Gro
GER" the beverages consumed by the
inhabitants of the United States last
year represented money cost of 81 ,22S,-
GA, 925, divided as follows: Alcoholic
drinks, 81 ,059, 563, 1877; coffee, $l25, 49,
$50; tea, $37. 1912, Cos; cocoa, $4,000 900 ;
total, 81 ,229, GA, 1926. OF this grand
total eighty-six per cent went for alco-
holic beverages and of this eighty.six
per cent fifty per cent was spent for
beer, thirty per cent for whiskey and
six per cent for wine. Notwithstanding
the size of these figures it is inter esting
to learn that the consumption of alcO-
holic drinks is not increasing. The con-
sumption of spirits has declined from
LAB gallons per capita in 1891 to 1.27
gallons in 1900; the consumption of wine
has fallen from ,45 to 40 gallon, and the
consumption of beer has increased from
1871 to 1901 gallons. The nations
drink bill amounts to $l6.17 per capita
yearly, or an average daily per capita of
lees than five cents, not counting the
money spent for soda water and other
notwithstanding beverages. 1t is evident
from these figures that while the people
spend a colossal sum for drink, the out
lay is not burdensOme, and that temper.
ance conditions are steadily improving

Business Outlook.

Duns Review of Trade for last week
said
The tone of general business has been
better this week. Marked activity in
the distribution of merchandise is re-
flected in the gains of 45.9 per cent in
bank clearings at New York compared
with 1900 and POS per cent over 1899,
with gains of 1875 and l08 for the same
periods at leading cities outside New
York. Even the textile markets show
pronounced gain. Activity in the metals
division has taken pig iron production
to near record figures, and some dealers
do not see how production of partly
finished forms this year is to be made to
meet the demand. The Government
report of the condition of wheat on April
1st is the surest possible basis upon
which expectation of continued COM
mercial prosperity could be founded.
Fhe large increase in hog packing at
the West as compared with last years
figures probably accounts for the first
sign of pronounced weakness in pork
products.
Large producers of footwear in New
England are still doing a good business
with sufficient orders ahead to insure
full time for several weeks. Local shoe
manufacturers have reduced their output
but prices remain firm. Shipments from
Boston are in excess to those of year
ago.
Liabilities of failures 10 the first week
of April were 1922. 1874, of which
S457 ,531 occurred in manufacturing,
$667 ,052 in trading, and $19S, l5l in
other commercial lines. A year ago the
amount of defaults was 81, 292, 235.
Failures for the week numbered BOB in
the United States against 1913 last year,
and "A in Canada against Al last year

Reporter journal: The Massachu-
sets legislature refused to slack up the
blue laws any so as to allow amust -
ments on Sunday, such as playing golf.
Among those who voted against it were
men who had attended Sunday ball
games, and other similar things, which
shows that the Maine legislators who
vote against resubmission while believ-
ing in it are not the only hypocrites.
Their acts show that they have some
respect for public opinion even if it does
not agree with their opinion.

vice, or camp fire and fireworks-all
