GEORGlANS ARE GETTING
FIGURES FROM BELGIUM

Atlanta, Ga.--Georgia statisticians
who are preparing data in dealing with
the question of temperance and prohi-
bition, have received some figures
from Belgium which have caused de-
cided surprise among the gentlemen
who favor enforced total abstinence.
The conduct of little Belgium in the
present war, it will be recalled, has
aroused worldwide admiration as fur
nishing history with one Of its noblest
pages, In addition Belgium has borne
reputation for thrift and prosperity
in times OF peace surpassed by no
country in the world. Though densely
populated it has practically no paupers
and the individual percentage of saw
ings is high. Yet statistics just fur
nished by the United States Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor show
that Belgium drinks more beer per
capita than any other country in the
world. That is to say that the thrift
est and most provident of all coun.
tries consumes the greatest quantity
of beer per head OF population. How
ever, details of the report go on to
show, this does not mean that indi
viduals in that country consume i'm
moderate quantities Of beer; 1t means
that the entire population drink beer,
but that they drink 1t regularly and
temporarily.

While the earnings of the Ken ended Sept. 20 amounted to $3,500, 900, the actual profits for this peri od will probably be increased tC $4 900, 900, due to the fact that the earnings of $3,500,000 include the unsold copper which was inventor jed at l5 cents. This copper will
 be sold to a higher figure, since
 the copper market is now IS cents or better.
