Some Interesting Figures

however. on account of the very severe
winter weather during January, February
and a part of March, 1912. the work of
raiding had TO be TO a large extent dis
continued, and at certain times during
the year a portion of the raiding officers
had to be detailed for other work which
appeared at the time to be of greater i'm

Der of distilleries seized and destroyed
during the past year would have consid-

year previous, and as it was, as above
stated, the number almost equaled it.
In some sections where public sentiment
seems to be crystallizing against this
species of fraud a considerable decrease
in the activity of the ''moonshiners" is re-
ported. This, however, seems to be COM
pensated for by the increased activity
reported in other sections. 1t appears
that in some sections of the country

WHAT PROHIBITION

That is a pretty big contract, sweeping
off the map in one signature of the pen
property amounting to so much. 1t means
that the annual investments of the brew
ers and distillers of $3.50, ,951, ,097 to produce
and put upon the market their goods 40

corn, hops and other grains used in the

When one considers the number of cities
in this country that have saloons, remem-

Gated on sites that are very expensive,
this estimate is not SO startling as at

SOME FIGURES ON A
RECORD WHISKY YEAR

The fiscal year ended June so, 1872, wit
messed the largest production of distilled
spirits in the history of the country.
There were produced from materials other
than fruit during the year ,9S5 tax
able gallons. This quantity exceeded the
largest previous production, which was
during the fiscal year ended June 80,
191. by 2,S47,590.5 gallons.
The tax-paid Withdrawals during the
fiscal year 1912 of spirits distilled from
materials other than fruit amounted to
1888, ,259,147.6 gallons, exceeding the with
drawals of 1911 for the same purpose by
leo, Sill gallons, and being surpassed
only by the withdrawals during the fiscal
year 1907. which amounted to 1884, .o667
gallons.
The stock of distilled spirits remaining
in distillery and general bonded ware
houses at the end of the fiscal year June
30. 1912, amounted to 263, ,7S5,S31.S gallons,

claimed

What the Valet Says
The earliest reference in any way to

ing over some hundreds of dusty vol

European Magazine, Vol. XIV, printed
in 1904. An English valet, transport

Almost everybody wants to know the
history of mint julep. The romance
which has been thrown around this con-

SO magnified and enlarged that even the
tetotaller is interested in the drink
which is made with a handful of ice,

companying decorations.
Kentucky Is famed for the mint ju-

of the mint julep caused havoc in The
