TURNING DOWN THE GLASS
Remarkable Decrease in the Pro-
duction of Intoxicating
sufFfta.

y
ductiOn of Intoxicating
Spirits.
Uncle Sam has been turning down his
glass more frequently than usual Of late.
Which means, OF course. that there has
been a decrease in tina production Of
liquor in his country during the last
year.
As a result OF the prohibition campaign.
combined with an increased price OF grain,
there was a decrease in the production %
intoxicating spirits OF to,o0o.o 900 gallons
for the year.
Not that Uncle Sam has stopped drink
ing entirely: he has only determined to be
more moderate. And he has been moder-
ate to such an extent that the quantity
OF liquor which he has rejected II equal
to the displacement OF six battleships OF
the new North Dakota type,
Imagine Uncle Sam sitting down TO a
table with this vast quantity OF liquor
beside him. Can you conceive III An
amount OF wine and whisky and brandy
which would be equal to the displacement
of six battleships.
Or, II you cannot conceive in your mind
the amount OF water equal to such dis
placement, imagine q tank TIA feet 10
inches long. l74 feet 10 inches high and
l74 feet 10 inches wide. filled to the brim
with It's rejected liquor!
The report of this amazing decrease in
the consumption of liquor comes from
Commissioner Capers OF the internal rev.
enue bureau. Tn total production dur
ing the year amounted to 126, 9SS, 74O tax
gallons. which was 40, 600. 900 gallons less
than the amount Produced during the SIM
liar period in 1907.
Because of this decrease the revenues
for the full current year are / $685. 900
less than last year.
