NATIONS AND DRINKS
A VAST DIFFERENCE IN THE USE o.
CERTAIN BEVERAGES.

America and Russia Are widely
Apart In the Consumption of Cot
fee-How Italy and England Differ
In the Use of Tea, Beer and Wine.
Nations differ in what they drink far
more than in their dress or speech, the
size Of their armies or the amount Of
their national debt. In their use Of
coffee, for example, the American and
the Russian offer as great a contrast
as an octogenarian and a year-Old
babe. On an average, the American
drinks as much coffee in one day as
does the Muscovite in eighty days In
the consumption of tea, beer and wine
the English and the Italians differ to a
still more startling degree. In one day
the average Britisher sips as much tea
as eighteen hundred Italians, and in the
same length Of time he swallows
enough beer TO keep the average italian
supplied for six months. Yet, in wine
drinking the Italian shows that he can
equal eighty four John Bulls.
According to the latest statistics Of
the department of commerce at Wash
ington, it appears that the American Is
fairly temperate when compared with
some of his European brothers. He
drinks less beer than the Englishman.
the German or the Austrian In the
use of spirituous liquors he falls still
further behind and finds himself out
classed by the Austrian, the Hungarian,
Io M a
also ranks fifth among the nations as a
wine drinEer. The Frenchman, the
ytalisn, the Austrian and the German
go ahead of him.
The American, far more than many
Europeans, seeks refreshment and re
newed energy in the cup which invig.
crates, but does not intOxicate." Coffee
and tea are his favorite beverag es. On
an average he drinks more coffee than
the native Of any country Of the old
world, and when classed with Euro
peans he Is surpassed only by the Eng
fish in his use Of tea.
The comparative temperance of the
American, furthermore, would seem to
be little endangered by the great immi.
grafton hither at the present time of
Russians and Italians. In the use of
spirits the Italian is at the very bottom
of the list Of Europeans. He also drinks
less beer than any Of his neighbors. He
drinks considerable wine, but it is
wine than contains little alcohol, and
even in this category he falls some dis
lance behind the French. The Russian
ranks sixth in the consumption Of spir-
its, and he drinks oAe-thirtieth as much
beer as the Englishman. He also uses
50 little wine that not even an estimate
is obtainable Of how much be does
drink.

Typhoid Fever VS.,
Yellow Jack.

The Savannah News prints the fol
lowing comparison between typhoid
fever in New York and Yellow Jack
in the south. which viii prove of IN
terest at this time and, if carefully
considered, rob the yellow plague Of
many Of its terrors:
Il is well known Of course that
pretty much all the time there is q
great deal Of typhoid fever in New
York, specially in New York City.
There is a great deal Of typhoid IN
all sections Of the country where The
drinking water IS drawn from sourcs as
that are polluted by sewerage.
During this year, however, there
has been an unusual amount Of the
disease in New York. The newspa-
pers OF New York City are comment
ing on the report that the state health
officer made to his board at Albany q
few days ago. It seems from that re-
port that CD to a few DAYS ago there
had been this year as many as sixty
thousand cases Of typhoid fever IN The
state, and Of these fully 10000 says
one New York paper, we're in New
York city.
The whole south has been alarmed
by the presence Of yellow fever in
New Orleans this year, and Il still
alarmed. In fact, the fever covers
pretty nearly the entire state. hut
there hasn't been one tenth as many
cases Of fever In the whole of Louis
lana as there have been cases of ty-
pOid fever in New York, nor near
as many deaths.
OF course the death rate in typhoid
fever is much less than in yellow few
or. In the first named rever The NOR
tally this year has been about five
per cent in New York. while the
mortality from yellow fever. in New
Orleans, has been about ten per cent.
As a matter OF. fact the fever cases
ia New Orleans are not nearly all
reported, or at least were not until
quite recently. II is doubtful. there
fore, II the death rate has been as
high as ten per cent.
Yellow fever comes only occasion
ally, but typhoid is always present in
most Northern cities. Indeed. it isn't
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1905-10-17

confined 10 the cities. It is safe to
guess that there are twenty deaths
from typhoid fever in this country to
every one from yellow fever. i
wouldn't be surprising it the figures
were fifty 10 one And yet yellow
fever creates terror wherever 1t ap-
pears and the presence Of typhoid is
scarcely noticed.
The death rate In New Orleans
this season hasn't been high. 1t has
not been any higher than it is in sea
sons when there is no yellow fever.
The inference is from this that many
Of those who died from the fever
would have died anyway about the
time they did, and that the city mas
been exceptionally free from all dis
eases except yellow fever. Is it not
safer to live in New Orleans with her
occasional visitations Of yellow fever
than TO live in New York or Phila-
delphia or Chicago with their ever
present typhoid fever?

Sufferers from nerve disorders should
certainly try the olive oil cure, which
is most highly recommended to those
who have learned abroad to appreciate
the addition Of oil to salads. The very
best and purest olive oil must be oh.
tanned, and one teaspoonful three times
q day is the dose if the victim Of neu-
ralgia, anaemia or dlsordered nerves is
In a hurry to be cured. Otherwise it is
recommended that the oil taste should
be cultivated by the addition of a very
little to the salad taken once or twice
a day. to which a dash of vinegar may
be added. so that the disagreeable taste
of the oil may be almost completely
disguised. The patient should grad
ually lessen the vinegar and increase
the oil until it is so well liked that it
can be taken raw. It is claimed for
olive oil, Just as it is for apples, that
it keeps the liver in good working or
der, thus preventing rheumatism, rem
dering the complexion healthy and
clear and also making the hair grow
glossy and abundant.-LondOn Mail.

Why is one who bets a "better, -
while a man who estimates is an "esti-

many words like these to differ in the
spelling Of their last syllables? A
grammarian explains that the differ
ence Is due to the fact that the English
language comes from two great sources,
some words being Germanlc and others
Latin. For the Germanic roots add
''er' in worker" while the Latin roots
add "Or' In factor" There is the Ger
