CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL.

That the use of beer and wines does not tend to decrease the consumption of strong liquors, Is shown by Gabriel son, a Swedish statistician who has published the results of his re- searches The figures are for the pe- riod 1906-1910.
 France consumes more than three times as much alcohol per capita as the United States, due to it's general use of wine. Italy consumes nearly three times as much, Spain twice as much. Greece twice as much, Switzer- land twice as much, Portugal nearly twice as much. Belgium consumes considerably more alcohol, although 1t is one of the leading beer countries. In Germany 49 per cent of the total drink consumption is of spirits, while in the United States more than 55 per cent of the total drink consumption is beer, which seems to indicate that the Germans, despite their beer pre1u- dices, use considerably more spirits per capita than the United States.
