As0 IL
There are some surprises In these fg,
ures. That Britons drink more beef
than Germans and considerably les.
spirits In one Of them. Another Is thai
France, In spite OF its great use Of
wines-in which Italy and Spain come
next with Is and Is gallons respec.
tively-France, where drunkenness /:
rare-uses more spirits than the Unit.
ed States per innabitant.
Sweden, which used to be the most
drunken nation in Europe, now con.
sumes only a little more spirits than
the United States per capita and less
than France or Germany.
Perhaps the most surprising thing
OF all is that France and the United
States, the two great republics, are
the only nations of any note In which
the consumption OF alcohol increases,
Reckoning the actual percentage OF
alcohol presumably contained
In the different liquors. Brit.
ish consumption OF alcohol fell of
from 1901 to 1905 by 20 per cent. Ger.
and Austrian by 4 per cent. Belgium
by 10 Pc cent. But the alcoholic in
take OF France meanwhile increased
u per cent, and that OF the United
States IA per cent.
With our low average OF consump.
ton such . percentage OF growth in a
time OF unexampled prosperity is sure
ly d~isquieting.
That the French, who already absorb
three times as much alcohol
each as Americans, are twice as rapid
y increasing that enormous consump-
tlon Is q fact to justify the grave fears
OF Partisan scientists that the race

a small stream. The approaches
to the bridge are made OF gravel
and an auto is just in the act OF
