MORE BEER CONSUMED.
NOT AS MUCH WHISKEY
Internal Revenue Statistics Revea
Interesting Facts Concerning
Tastes Of People.

People are getting to use more beer
and less whisky in this country, accord
ing TO the internal revenue statistims.
Commissioner YerI1es finds that for the
fiscal year ended June 50 last there was
a decrease of about $747. 900 in the col
lections of revenue for manufacture Of
spirttuOus liquors, and an increase Of
81 PSI, ,457 in the collections from fer
mented liquors. most OF which is beer.
The decrease in spirits is but a frac-
ton of l per cent, while the increase IN
fermented liquors is over 3 per cent.
There was Il marked increase in the
consumption of cigarettes. which went
up from 3,2200C0000 to 3.36S, .G9O. The
Indiana and Wisconsin anti-cigarette
laws had not gone into effect. however,
during the period for which the figures
are made.
Cigars show an increase of 1S4, 600, coo in
consumption for the year, the country
burning no less than 7.500. 900. go That
makes about 100 cigars per capita per
annum. The amount of chewing and
smoking tobacco shows a small increase.
The figures on these two kinds Of to-
haccO are given together, and therefore
do now show whether the consumption
of chewing tobacco has decreased. 1t
is declared hT dealers, however, that the
MISREPRESENTATION laws nowadays so
popular have considerably reduced this
trade.

that he had no statement to make in re-
