ONE YEARS BOOZE AND SMOKE.
Tremendous Amount OF Spirits and
Tobacco Used.

From the DAYTON News.
One hundred and sixty-three million
gallons of distilled spirits; sixty million
barrels of fermented liquors; seven bill
lion and a half cigars; seven billion
cigarettes-that was our booze and
smoke bill for the fiscal year 1910 or
course the figures are inconceivable.
The human mind is not capable of grasp
iTg such largo numbers. But it can and
ought TO grasp the statement that is
made by the government to the effect
that it is the greatest amount of liquor
and tobacco ever used in this country in
single yea.
Probably the most significant thing
in connection with the figures sent out
by the government is the fact that they
do not conform to what the average man
observes. That is. the average man sees
less liquor consumed than ever before,
yet the figures show that there is moro
OF il consumed. The average man has
believed these past few years that there
was less liquor being consumed. Ger
tainly there has been less drunkenness
visible. Statistics everywhere, nearly.
show that there is not so much inebriety
as formerly. and that would naturally
lead 10 the conclusion that less liquor
Is being consumed.
This especially is true IN business
circles. man who drinks can no
longer secure employment in many in
dustries. The railroads more than ever
insist upon sobriety, ST me of them max
ing it a cause for discharge il an en-
ploye so much as enters a saloon. In
no occupation does man who drinks
stand any chance of advancement.
Then, large areas of territory have
been voted dry" In some instances
whole States have forbidden the sale or
manufacture of intoxicants within their
limits. Hundreds OF counties and cities
and towns have forced the saloons out
OF business. Yet ia face of ali these
things. in face OF the demands OF BUSH
Ness, the consumption of alcoholic bever-
ages shows such increase as TO be alarm
ing. Evidently there is much work yet
10 be done before the American people
are educated to the point where they
will realize that there is too much liquor
CONSUMED In this country for the ulti-
mate good of the race.

IF WE'RE SANTA CLAUS.

! wish that l were Santa Claus
And might leave blessings everywhere;
Al yonder little hut ia pause.
And laughter soon should echo there;
The crippled boy should cease to sigh.
And be as strong as you or l.
And find oct that the world is fair.
To him who sits and cOunts his gains
And never thinks OF those in need
I'd teach that hrotherhood remains
greater thing than gold OF greed;
I'd make him wish TO help along
And pat within his heart a song.
So that he should be glad indeed.
ia make the load a lighter load
That poor old patient Dobbin draws;
The actor stranded on the read
Should still be gladdcned b applause;
The sad old maid should have a bean.
On every bald head hair should grcgs-
wish that I wene Santa Claus.
