showing that the decline has been in
progress for several generations. Rec

of liquor used since 1888, and ituseems
to be a fact that the average indi-

liquor today as the average individual

claimed that the average amount Of
liquor drunk per year by each indi-

There is one kind of food

Oats are the most nutritious
