1t is seen that France shows the
heaviest consumption of the most con-
centrated beverage, spirits, viz, Psi
gallons per inhabitant, the other coun-
tries following in the order of their per
capita consumption of spirits: Sweden,
2.13 gallons; Germany, oil gallons;
Belgium, LAP gallons; United Kingdom,
1.3s gallons; United States, 1.3S gallons;
Russia, 1.29 gallons and lastly Italy,
with only 0.34 gallon. The per capita
consumption of spirits in the United
states. figured on the basis of total
consumption of 1O7. 252, Jas proof gallons,
is 1.33 proof gallons, placing this coun-
try we'll nigh the end of the list of
spirits drinking countries.
The figures Of per capita beer con-
sumption reveal the fact that Belgium
stands at the head Of the nations in
the matter of per capita consumption
of beer, it's per capita consumption be-
ing $3.50 gallons. Second in order is
the United Kingdom with 35.42 gallons.
while Germany, which shows the larg-
est absolute figures of consumption, in
the matter of per capita consumption
takes third place with 30.77 gallons.
The United States follows with 1904
gallons. Sweden and France with S.S3
and 7.4S gallons per inhabitant, Russia,
1.13 gallons per inhabitant. while italy
is still lower, viz, O.2O gallon.
The consumption of wine may be said
to be concentrated in two countries
chiefly, France and Italy, both the alb
solute and per capita consumption
showing that wine in these countries is
a common article of consumption rather
than an article of luxury, used only by
the favored few. The figures of per
capita consumption of wine in these
countries-3473 gallons in France and
31.S6 gallons in Italy-are almost iden-
teal with those shown for beer by the
United Kingdom and Germany. The
consumption of wine in the other coun-
tries is relatively Insignificant, only
Germany, with 1.93 gallons per inhabi-
tant, and Belgium, with lbs gallons
showing a per capita consumption eX'
ceeding one gallon, the estimated pei
capita consumption in the United
States being 0.4S gallon.

WHAT EUROPE DRINKS.

The consumption of spirits, beer, and
wine in the leading European countries
for the latest available period is pre-
scented in a table of the Monthly Sum
mary of Commerce and Finance just
published by the Department of Com
rnerce and Labor through it's Bureau
of Statistics.
The table shows the consumption of
the three principal kinds of alcoholic
beverages for the leading European
countries, as follows:

The division and sale of public lands
in the nearby valleys, in the form of
five-acre villa tracts, would be one of
the best things the Government could
do TO build up thrifty population in
the suburbs. Complaint is made that
the public lands in PaIolo valley are
unavailable to people who want to ac-
quire self-supporting homes. Unless
under lease, there can surely be no good
reason why these lands should not be
divided into villa sites and sold to peo-
pie who win turn them into taxable
property.

The figures for spirits in the case OF
European countries include only those
quantities which are used in the form
of beverages, the quantities used in the
ants and manufactures being uniformly
excluded There are no exact data on
the subject for the United States, as all
the spirits entering domestic, including
Industrial consumption, are taxed at
uniform rate. Authoritative estimates
place the quantity used in the arts and
manufactures in this country at about
10, 900 gallons, so that in order to
make the American and European fig
ures comparable these 1o,oO0,00O4 gallons
should be deducted from the total con
sumption of spirits in the United
States, as officially stated.
The following table shows the per
capita consumption of the three kinds
of beverages for each of the above
countries;

! France shows the largest per capita
consumption of alcoholic beverages
viz. 1921 gallons, while Belgium, ow-
ing to its heavy beer consumption
follows next in order with 7.3S gallons
italy with SCI gallons, Germany with
5.53 gallons, and the United Kingdom
with 499 gallons, are the other coun-
tries which may be said to excel in
the consumption of alcoholic bever-
ages. The United States with 1923 gall
Ions, Sweden with SOS gallons, and
Russia with 1.39 gallons of average
consumption, wind up the list OF the
countries in question
Some idea of the fiscal Importance
of liquor trade can be had from the
following table showing the receipts
of the various governments from ex-
cises and import duties on these arti-
cles. Generally speaking, the revenue
from imported beverages plays but
small part in the total revenue derived
from the taxation of beverages, the
larger portion of the liquors consumed
being manufactured within the respec-
tive countries. The only exception con-
wine, which is imported in
large quantities, both into this country

POTTGIESER DOESN'T
LIKE TORRENS SYSTEM
County Scion Says It's Too Expensive
to the Taxpayers


Nicholas Pottgieser, county commits
sioner, announced at the meeting of
the committee on claims of the county
board yesterday that he would not
sign the warrants to carry on the Tor
rens system of land titles if he did
not fear that he would be in contempt
Of court
fJust look at this,y said Pottgieser,
as: he tossed over bill from William
P. Westfall, the attorney, for 5000 for
examining titles during June, the
charge being $40 for each examination.
s"Westfall has never received less than
$3.50 month for such work during the
present year, besides which the county
pays him $50 a month as the attorney
for the register Of deeds This means
that Westfall has received from the
county for the first six months at
least $1,400, and that by the end of the
year he will have secured about $4,000.
Besides this, there are other expenses
connected with the Torrens system
that will bring the cost to the county
for year to the neighborhood of
SIS, 009."
AT the end of his announcement Mr..
PottgieSer signed the Westfan bill for
s200, reiterating as he did so that the
taxpayers are being mulcted for the
benefit of Others and that the 1000.
year is really being thrown away.

COURT REFUSES TO
DISMISS COMPLAINT
Decides 1t States Cause of Action
Against Music Company

Judge Brill yesterday overruled the
demurrer of the defendants in the case
Of J. NJ Anderson against w. j. Dyer
d Bro, in which Anderson seeks to
compel the defendants to pay a note
that he holds against the Duluth Music
company and also asks for a distribu-
ton of the profits of the Duluth COM
pany.
1t is found by Judge Brill that ma
jor1ty Of the stock of the company is
owned by Dyer & Bro. The capital
stock of the company is $4,000, and
plaintiff holds that it has earned $780,
600 in profits, a portion of which he
would like to have on the stock that
he holds. The demurrer of defendants
was on the ground that the complaint
failed to state a cause of action. The
case will now be tried on it's merits.

L00TS SALOON SAFE.
Thug Holds Up Bartender and
Suspects Are Arrested

Jim Abbotts, bartender at o. P. Glenn
ents' saloon, Eighth and Sibley streets,
was held up by a lone highwayman at 2
o'clock yesterday morning. The robber
located hidden cash drawer and looted
the safe of the money box, getting away
with $3.50.
The police yesterday, arrested Charles
McElway and Mike Adams, who, they de-
clare. planned the holdup and employed
the footpad to do the work The police
have learned the identity of the robber
and are now searching for him.
According to the police, McElway, a no.
torious crook and Mike Adams, a st.
Paul bartender, visited Clements saloon
shortly after midnight, ostensibly to see
whether the coast was clear. ImmediL
ately after they went out, leaving the bar
tender alone the robber, with revolver in
hand, appeared and ordered Abbotts to
turn over the cash.
AbbottS refused to do so and the thug
then helped himself He drew out the
money box from the SAFE emptying the
contents in his pocket, and then went to
a drawer in which $40 in change was
usually kept. Abbotts had selected a diff
ferent drawer for that purpose yesterday
morning, and after a little search the rob-
Der found the cash in another drawer.
The police suspected Adams. formerly

DOG REPEATS BITE
Fox Terrier Attacks 8-Year. Old
Boy Second Time

Clayton Hamilton, S-year-old son of F.
T. Hamilton, 1923 Chatsworth street was
bitten yesterday for the second time in
the same place by the same dog. The
dog, owned by a neighbor, jumped at the
boy and imbedded it's teeth in his leg, the
wound being exactly in the scar left by the
first bite, which was inflicted three months
ago. 49, - 49, e,,, IL
The boy was playing in the yard in the
rear of his home with a few companions
when the dog. a fox terrier, came among
the children. Seeming to recognize Clay
ton Hamilton it shifted, jumped and
snapped, the teeth penetrating the boys
flesh. The dog then released its grip and
jumped at the boy again. The second
time the boys wrist was caught between
the dogs jaws, and had the animal not
been beaten off by Mrs. Hamilton, who
ran to the yard on hearing her sons cries,
the artery might have been severed.
When the dog bit my son the first time,
did not make a complaint" said Mr.
Hamilton last night. "That time the boy
was partly to blame, but this time the
case is different, and L shall insist upon
having the animal destroyed When the
dog bit my son the first time, about three
months ago, he was playing with it among
number of small boys. The dog then
bit his leg tearing his trousers and in
fictiT1g a deep wound in the flesh.
Clayton was not playing with the dog
or paying any attention to it this time,
however. The terrier came into the back
yard when a number of the neighbors'
children entered through the gate. The
dog Immediately ran to my son and caught
his leg between its teeth. The boy shook
off the cur, which jumped again and
caught his wrist"
Mr.. Hamilton said he would demand
that the dog be shot, and that if the owner
refused to give it up he would swear out
warrant in police court

Lieut.. Gen. A. r. Chaffee chief of staff
of the army, and Gen. c. F. Humphrey,
quartermaster general, who are coming to-
inspect Northwestern military posts, did
not reach st. Paul yesterday afternoon
as was expected. They arrived at Duluth
at o'clock last night. ten hours late,
having been delayed by a storm on the

tached to the regular train leaving Du-

o'clock. o.
The subsequent entertainment to be

been determined last night. The nature
of these courtesies will depend upon
Gen Chaffee's wishes 1t is probable
that, weather permitting. he will review
be entertained by the st. Paul Commercial
club on behalf of the city this afternoon.
A reception in honor of Gen. Chaffee and
Gen. Humphrey WILL no doubt, be given
at the Hotel Aberdeen in the course Of
