A krlstlania newspaper has made
some funny calculations at the ex.
pense of the temperance movement.
At course of lectures recently given
in Kristiania in the interest Of the
total abstinence and prohibition prod.
uganda, a Dane named Westergaard
ventured to make the statement that
a person who drinks a quart of al.
cohol thereby shortens his life hours.
The paper in question refers to an
analysis made by the state chemist
Of Norway to the effect that bread
contains from 4 to 8 per cent of
alcohol, and soured milk one per cent.
BY means Of these data the paper
makes out that man who drinks
half bottle of beer to his meals from
the age of twenty to the age of 20,
and who ought to have died at S a.
M, April l, 1860, must instead die
March /, 1860. The eating of bread
and drinking of soured milk will have
similar tendency. Indeed q man
who is addicted to the use Of bread
and soured milk will shorten his life
at more rapid rate than one who
drinks only half a bottle Of beer to
his meals, but Is a total abstainer
from bread and soured milk. The
paper finally comes to the conclusion
that the prohibitionists, in order to
be consistent, must also demand pro-
hibition of the bread and soured milk
traffic. It ought to be made plain
that this question is no longer joke,
but a pretty live issue In Norwegian
politics.
