LOSES BEER PRESTIGE
Statistics Show Germans Are
More Temperate.

Berlin. Jan. 6.-The consumption of
beer in Germany, according to official
statistics published recently is rapid
ly decreasing. During 1909 the con-
sumption diminished approximately
by 65,OOO,O0O gallons, or one gallon
per head of the population. During the
preceding year there had been a dim
mutton of nearly 100000 gallons.
whilst during the last decade there
has been decrease of three gallons
per head Of the population per annum.
The decline in the brewing trade
is also revealed by the diminishing
number of breweries in Germany. In
1906 there were 6035; in 1907, 1922;
in 1908, $500; and last year, 476S.
During 1909 alone there was thus a
decrease of S22 breweries. The de-
crease in the consumption of malt has
been considerable greater than is in
Dictated by the diminution in the con-
sumption of beer. thus showing that
the beer drunk in Germany becomes
lighter and lighter every year.

Their Increase Troubles Ger.
man Scientists.

Berlin. Jan. 7.-According to Off
cial figures of the census return the
population Of Greater Berlin now mum.
beers S,712,552 inhabitants.
The predominatin feature of the re-
suits OF the census is the revelation OF
the growing preponderance Of females
over males in Germany. The com
plete results Of the census have not
yet been ascertained but so far as the
returns so they show an alarming in.
crease of the disproportion between
males and females.
The growing majority of females is
exercising the minds of not only the
government. but also of all politicians
and social reformers in growing de.
gree.
There Is a deep-rooted idea in Ger.
many, which, as Is well known, is
shared by the Kaiser. and the ruling
element. that woman's sphere is the
home. and that 1t is the destiny OF
the female to seek mate and find
her happiness in the upbringing OF
her children.
The increasing preponderance OF
the female part of the population is
forcing German further and further
away from this ideal. and is making
the position more and more difficult
for those who still oppose the en-.
trance of women into all sorts of occu.
pations and professions.
