Statistics compiled by insurance
companies show that 44o deaths out
of every 1000 deaths, nearly one
half of the deaths that occur, are
due to alcohol. Applied to this
country, over eso,ooO deaths per
year in continental United States,
or over 1000 per year in the UNI
ted States and It's possessions. In
other words, alcohol is killing our
people at the rate Of nearly, 1900
men day every day in the year.
The Army War College at Wash
ington made an investigation of the
destructiveness of war. The COM
parative figures show the appalling
fact alcohol is killing off as many
Americans every year as all the
wars of the world have killed in
$500 years.
Applied to the whole white race,
we find that alcohol is killing $780,
600 white men every year; five
times as many as have been killed
in war in $500 years; so that stated
mathematically, alcohol is ten thous,
and times more destructive than all
the wars continuation. Rich
