HALF A MILLION A DAY.
That Is the Amount Which Chicago
Puts Into Stimulauts.

Chicago's consumption of stimulants 10
amazing, according to a correspondent.
The money spent in saloons alone totals
up between $12o,OOo,OOO and S13o,O0O,-
900 annually. At least S1O,O0O,OOO more
10 spent for stimulating drugs in the 800
Gus stores in the city.
If tobacco can be classed as a stimu-
liant 1t may be said that there are betweea
$500 and 10000 places in the city
where cigars and tobacco are sold. Proba-
bly, 100000 per day is not an exagxer-
ated estimate for Chicago's smoking bill.
At the lowest estimate, taking alcoholic
beverages, tobaccos, and all manner OF
drugs into account, it is impossible to ig-
ure that Chicago spends less than $780,
600 per day or stinulants Of various
kinds, and the chances are the amount ID
considerably higher.
OF this sum, how much does
the worker spend? Fully IS per cent, IL
all business men, officers of corporations,
n all men who work with hand or brain.
are included. But for the worker, the
s~aloonkeepers themselves say, they would
have to close up shop in a few days. The
remaining % per cent of the $500, 900
must be set aside between women who
lead domestic lives and non-workers of all
kinds. Women perhaps are the heaviest
of all users of drugs.
