TOLL OF 1000 a DAY.

According to Doctor Demme, who
studied ten temperate families" and
ten 'intemperate families" for IL years
In the same class OF society, the deaths
or children under five in the latter
group were five times as many as in
the former group-25 against five.
Since the deaths below the age of FIVE
comprise 80 per cent of all the deaths.
IL is evidently more than conservative
to take the comparison OF adult males
given above as a measure OF the raw
ages of alcohol for the total popula-
ton. says Richmond p. Hobson, in al
cohol and the Government" II we
we're nation of total abstainers we
would die off at the rate of $50 per
$1,000 of the population, whereas we
are actually dying off at rate of
1000 per $1,000. In other words, alco-
hol causes the premature death of
40 citizens out of every 81 900 of the
population every year, which means
that alcohol kills about zoe. 900 Ameri.
can citizens every year, about 1000 q
