LIQUOR BILL FOR 1905
Our National Waste for Both Distilled
and Fermented Liquors Steadily
Increases.

The American Grocer complies and
analyses the statistics of liquor con-
sumption annually, and has just is
sued it's statement for 1905, based up
on the Government Excise statistics.
The figures for 1905, just issued, show
a continuation of the same steady an
nual increase in this item of national
expenditure as has been observed in
the years previous. We spent for bev-
erages $1,54S, ,7OS,3O7, as against ST.
49S,622,715 in 1904, $1,541 ,639,379 in
1908, 81, 1863, ,O9S,276 in 1902, and $1,273,-
212,386 in 1901. The alcoholic drink
bill which enters into this computa-
ton, as given by the American Grocer,
is $685. ,439,074. Of this sum, $771,-
675,969 is given as the beer bill, $780,
0O5, ,230 is the wine bill, while whiskey
is charged up to the amount of $457,-
757,875. The total drink bill today,
as the compiler states, is "one-fourth
of the total estimated production OF
the cotton, wheat corn, hay, and to-
bacco crops, and every other product
of farms, orchards, cattle ranches,
dairies, and every other agricultural
industry. 1t amounts to one-eighth OF
the Nations total expenditure for
food"

The consumption of wine and whis-
key has not been a steady increase,
but more or less erratic. But the in
crease of beer-drinking has been as
steady and seemingly inevitable as
that of population. From 1868 to the
current year there have been only six
years in which setbacks of even a
fraction of a gallon occurred.
The increase has been not only alb
solute but relative to the population,
namely 21 3-5 per cent, during peri
cd when the population increased only
6k per cent. The per capita consump-
tion has greatly increased, and has
reached an annual expenditure of $685.

while the Bureau of Labor gives $749

In addition to the statements made
before the board by Botha, Mr. New
house and Judge Warner, the board al
so heard the evidence OF William Kel-
Ter OF Moab, who stated that he knew
Tibbits, and that the latter was In his
store several times and spoke about
keeping Botha's wife at his ranch and
about his relations with her Afllda-
Wits were also read from Judge John
son, who sentenced Botha, and Cum
ningham, a rancher who was ac-
quainted with Tibbits and who told Of
his brags about having stolen Botha q
wife. The case was then submitted
and taken under advisement for one
month.

I'm the year 1899 the side Of my
right foot was cut of from the little
toe down to the heel, and the physi.
clan who had charge of me was try
ing to sew up the side of my foot, but
with no success. At last my whole
foot and way up above my calf was
nothing but proud flesh. Isuffered un.
told agonies for four years, and tried
different physicians and all kinds Of
ointments. I could walk only with
crutches. In two weeks afterwards /
saw a change in my limb. Then be.
gan using Cuticura Soap and Ointment
often during the day, and kept it up
for seven months, when my limb was
healed up just the same as IL I never
had trouble. It is eight months now
since I stopped using Cuticura RENE
dies, the best on Gods earth. I am
working at the present day after five
years of suffering. The cost of Cuti-
cura Ointment and Soap was only Sc,
but the doctors bills were more like
