A Protest and Answer

The German Brewers Union protested to the
State Insurance Department of Westphalia against
its distribution of anti-alcoholic literature, whereat the
department returned:
"The publication of this literature has resulted
from sad experiences which the Westphalian Depart
ment has had. By far the most numerous cases of
i~ncapacity to work among the people are due directly
or indirectly to alcohol. The department has for the
cure alone of the alcohol-sick been obliged to spend
nearly a quarter million marks, apart from the fnan-
cial burden which the misuse of alcohol causes by in
capacitatng men for work. This last sum can hardly
be accurately estimated. But it is many times
greater than the first charge mentioned. That about
30 per cent of all the German expenditures for the
poor are to be set down to the misuse of alcohol has
been proven by competent city statisticians. The
National Insurance Department must attempt to find
the way to guard its policy holders from the injuries
which alcohol occasions. The publication of cards
warning against alcohol has the full commentator
of the Imperial Insurance Department.
