RIVER OF BEER

1t is estimated that the produc-
tion of beer in the world last year
was 282, 087 900 barrels, which is
equivalent to approximately 81
8,750,O00.OOO gallons. The immen-
silly of these figures is not intelli-
gible until we begin to compare
this volume of beer with other
large aggregations of liquid.
The worlds production Of beer
would make q river six feet deep,
ten feet wide and as long as the
Mississippi. 1t would fill the PAN
ANA Canal, or keep Niagara Falls
going for several hours. In Scot
land it would fill Loeb Lomond, or
it would keep the many foun-
tains of the city of Paris running
six months.
1t required 27.64e brewerics to
manufacture this flood Of liquid re-
freshment, producing on an aver
age 10000 barrels. The United
States leads the world in the pro-
duction of beer, be ing responsible
for slightly more than ona fifth of
the worlds output. Every man,
woman, and child in the United
States was entitled TO % CALLERS of
beer as his share of the production
but this was ia. less than the aver
age Bavarisn was expected to get
away with, his quota being 81
gallons and the Belgian takes sc cond
rank as a hearty beer drinker, with
SO gallons e capita. The unfurtu-
nate Spanisrd gets only half a gal
lon in the course of a year, while
the Japanese, still less blessed,
must content himself with a single
glass. Brewer and Master.

The ice trust having offered a silver
loving-cup, for the best excuse which

price of ice after the cold winter, we

l. The ice being 30 thick and heavy.
II costs more TO handle II.

Is great waste In cutting them up for
the retail trade.
8. The ice is so cold Il freezes solid

cold. and extra quality all through. II
Is only proper that an extra price
should be demanded.
