one great achievement Of the indus
try that might be passed over un
noticed has been the holding OF thu
annual Importation of foreign wines
at 100000 gallons for twent!
years, Notwithstanding the grea
increase of population Within
the same period the American produc-
ton has increased from 100000 L
zoo 100000 gallons. The market fol
American wines has been widely ex-
tended including even France and Ger
many.
The following interesting fact is re-
lated probably with the purpose OF Civ
ing the wine making business some
official standing:
The father, or founder. Of the pres
ent wine industry was Hon. Nicholas
Longworth. Of Cincinnati, O., grand
father OF Congressman LOngworth, who
recently married the daughter of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. It may be noted that it
was after a visit to the Longworth
wine cellar that the poet Longfellow
wrote his well-known poem on Ca
tawba wine"
The story of the Vine" is generally
a statement of facts but the following
may be regarded as a conclusion: In
the interests OF temperance. it is TO be
hoped that the custom Of drinking
wines at meals will become more gen
eral in this country. The most temper
ate are those who use wine to help di-
gest their food, and these people are
usually free from indigestion, or dys-
pepsia. and other troubles due to over
eating and over-drinking. In France
and Italy, the greatest wine-producing
countries Of the world, where every
man, woman and child use wine as
freely at their meals as Americans do
tea or coffee. the people are sober. tenn
perate, and industrious"
II may be stated that the immediate
" foregoing has not been given the
official endorsement Of the W. c. T. L.
and kindred organizations.
