GERMANY'S DRINK BILL.
Some Figures Which Tell a Startling
Story of the Kaiser's
Kingdom.

Germany has about 100000 OF
people. The American consuls report
that the annual drink bill OF that
empire is $672,5SS 600. This is an
average of about $lI.2I per person.
or OF 1896 per person over 10 years
OF age. For schools this great en-
pire spent 500 .722 600, for working
peoples insurance $l04.244.O 900. and
for the army and navy 5000 .S47. 600
The drink bill shows an average con-
sumption annually OF So quarts OF
wine, 1293a quarts of beer and 9
quarts OF brandy for each person. The
German consul in Chicago tried TO
mollify the apparent force OF these
ngures, by stating that the expendi-
ture OF 1876 for each person over Is
years of age does not mean in Ger
many what IL does here, since the
beer brewed there is not as intoxicat-
ing as that which is drunk here. But
> quarts of brandy for each person is
pretty heavy drinking OF spirits. and
nothing can Offset that While the
total expenditure for drink in this
country is much greater than In Ger

half, the average expense per capita
