BILL IS
.GROW|NGBIGGER
In the United Kingdom Increas-
ing in the Last Year
$25,ooo,ooo.
tnY AsseelArEp pREss,

LONDON, May 9.--The drink bill of
the United Kingdom for the last year
shows an increase of twenty-five mil
lion dollars. The United Kingdom
Alliance, whose mission is to decrease
the consumption of alcoholic liquors,
makes this report, and suggests that
the increase is probably due to I'M
precedented prosperity, for the king
dom had never experienced great
er wage bill. The encouraging feature,
according to the alliance, is a de-
crease shown in the per capita con-
sumption, which attained its maxi
mum during similar trade REVEALS
in 1874 and 1899.
A discouraging feature is the In
crease in the consumption of spirits,
which leads with an increase of
] Pei, 900 gallons. Beer is second with
100000 gallons and wine third with
$4,000 gallons. The share of each
individual in the United Kingdom in
the drink bill for 1918 was eighteen
dollars while the average for FAM
lily Of five persons was ninety dollars.
Since these figures do not allow for the
boys and girls under fifteen years of
age and the total abstainers, 1t may
be assumed that among the drinkers
the average per capita expense for
drinks Is much higher than stated.
During 1911, 2,s02 men and 2,074
women were certified to have died In
England and Wales alone as the re-
suit OF alcoholism. This number does
not include those whose deaths have
been accelerated by the use of alco-
hol. DR.. w. c. Sullivan is quoted in
the report as making the estimate that
twenty per cent of the suicides in the
United Kingdom are due to the use Of
alcoholic stimulants.
A startling feature of the infant
mortality figures furnished by the al
lance is the fact that in 1912, 1,176
babies under one year of age were
suffocated while sleeping with their
parents or other elders, and the or
ganization claims that most OF these
cases can be laid at the feet of alco-
holic indulgence. The organization
also points out the effect of alcohol
on the physique Of the race, on crime
and on divorce.

VALDEZ WILL
PUT UP FIGHT
For the Presidency of Republic
of Panama to Succeed
Parras in 1916.
tsY Assoe,A1rp pRr,,,

PANAMA, May 9-tWath the ar
rival of Dr.. Ramon valdes. Pana-
maian minister to London, politics
became active and there are indIca-
tIons that he will. wage heated
campaign for the presidency of the
republic to succeed President Por-
ras, whose term expires dn.S i GIG.
DR.. Valdez is known to be the candi-
date President Porras fayors to sue
coed him and through whom he
hopes to continue the policies of his
administration. 1t is, understood
that DR.. Valdez, who now Is coun-
sellor for the department of foreign
affairs, was brought back to Pana-
ma to begin an early and actice cam
paign.
Interest Lukewarm.
At present political activities CEN
ter about coming election of thirty
six members of the. National As
sembly which takes place in July.
Interest, however, is only lukewarm.
The candidates of the Liberal party
are unopposed, the Conservative
party not taking any part in the
contest. The latter maintain they
are saving their strength for the
presidential election when they con-
template putting forth a strong can
diiate who can win the favor of the
United States government officials
an the isthmus.
Split Indicated.
DR.. Valdez probably will be OPP
posed in his own party for the presi-
dental honor by R6dolfo Chiari, sec
rotary OF government ana Justice in
the Porras cabinet A split in the
ranks OF the LIBERALS is itidtcated,
but probably will not have serious
consequences for the reason that
the party is by far the larger of the
two. Secretary Chiari, it is de-
clared, has the support Of DR..
Carlos A. Mendoza. former presi-
dent of the republic and one of the
strongest political leaders in the
country.
