FIoUREs-AND FIGURES


FIoURES-AND FIGURES
At the banquet given in Chicago
by the Brewers association to Mr.
Vopica, the newly appointed United
States minister to the Balkan States
and one of their own number, the
speakers attempted to show up their
business as one of the financial props
of the country.
j Among the statements made were
these:
! l. The brewers own and operate
1,40o extensive plants, manned by 81
900 wage earners on whom 100000 de-
pend for legitimate livelihood and sup
port.
2. The brewers of this country
have an invested capital of s670,o0o,-
900, and the value of their annual
products is s375,O0O,0 900. They pay out
in wages and salaries annually $685.
100000.
| 8. They use annually 100,000,000
worth of grain and other materials
Granting that these figures are cor
rect let us remember that the account
between the nation and the brewers
has a debit as well as a credit side.
Put over against the value of the pro-
duce" and the $1,000 employees with
their wages and salaries" the amount
of ineficiency and the number OF
deaths caused by the alcohol in beer
-ineficiency and deaths which entail
an army of delinquents and depend
ents for the state to care of-and the
1,400 brewing plants are found to be
quite as serious a drain upon the
country's assets tits finances and its
citizenship as are the distilleries
which some of the beer men are try
ing to put out of business.
AS regards the amount of grain
used by the brewers, let us listen to
Prof. John A Nichols of Boston, who
has made an exhaustive study of the
drink question from the financial and
industrial viewpoint. Following is an
excerpt from his text book, Eco
nomic Studies in the Liquor Prob
lem," prepared for the course of study
of the young peoples branch of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
Investigation shows that only
very small part of the farmers pro-
ucts are taken by the breweries and
distilleries. For instance, during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1911, Ia
50S,S55 bushels of barley, wheat, rye,
corn and oats were used in making
alcoholic liquors. But the farmers
raised. during the year 1910, a total
of 5,143,1S7, 900 bushels of these same
grains and this shows that the liquor
traffic uses less than two and half
per cent. of the five leading grain
crops of the land. For every bushel
of grain used by the breweries and
distilleries more than forty-four and
three-ffths bushels are used for legi-
innate food purposes. One of every
one hundred dollars worth of grain
sold by the farmer the brewer and
distiller buy about s2.251h worth"
Query: If brewers and distillers
combined use less than 21s per cent.
of the farmers grain, what proportion
is used by the brewers alone?)

HOG CHOLERA.
Another Reminder.

Through ignorance CT misunder-
standing some hog raisecs stu neg
lect to report suspected cases CT hog
cholera or even attempt to conceal
them. This is a fruitful source Of the
spread of the disease and is wrong
from every standpoint, since it not
only may result in very serious los
to the enc who fails to make the
report but is a great injustice to his
Ieighbors as well. Quarantine works
no great hardship to the owner of
diseased stock while the quarantine
notice is a warning to neighboTs that
the posted premises are infected.
Individual efforts cannot go far to-
ward the suppression or control Of
disease which spreads So rapidly.
Thorough organization is needed in
each community with a vigilance COM
mittee which shall see that every
suspected outbreak is reported as
soon as it is discovered, with or
without the consent of the person on
whose place the outbreak occurs.
VIII you undertake to lead such an
organization in your community?
The fact that you or your commun-
ity escaped the plague last year does
not in any sense indicate that either
is immune. The majority Of cholera
cases found this spring and summer
have occurred in herds and locations
where the disease did net appear last
year. There is but little disease at
this time; also at this time and later
last year there was very little, but
it became extremely bad in the latter
part of the summer and early fall. No
one can say or likes to think that
it will do the same again, but let US
work together for Canyon County
entirely cholera-free this year.

HARM IN MODERATION.

1t is not the one who goes on an oc'
casional spree and then abstains who
sustains the greatest injury. The one
who resorts to alcohol in small doses
daily is being injured to a greater ex-
tent than the man who drinks to ex-
cess occasionally 1t is the continu-
GUS mild irritation that brings about
the organic degenerative changes in
the blood vessels and organs of the
body. The man who INDUCES immod-
erately on widely separated occasions
dives his body chance to recuperate.
