TIE AMERIcAN DRINK BILL.

From statistics printed by the Ameri-
can Grocer it appears that the use of
alcoholic beverages in this country has
almost doubled since the year when
Kansas adopted the prohibitory amend
ment. In that year the per capita con-
sumption was 1909 gallons. while in
1902 this had risen to 1913 gallons. Dur
ing the same period coffee grew 81 per
cent, while the use of tea fell off As per
cent The total bill of the nation in 1902
for stimulants, coffee. tea and cocoa
being included was s1,369 O08,276 For
the past five years the average annual
expenditure was 81. 239 los. 955. The peri
odical above mentioned says: THE rec
ord for 1902 represents a per capita ex-
penditure for stimuIants of Sl7.33 for
the 79.oOs,oO0 inhabitants of the United
States. or Al cents per day. The users
of alcoholic stimulants are estimated to
form one-fourth of the total population,
on which basis the per capita cost of
alcoholic beverages is S69.32. or 10 cents
