Is absolutely nothing in the de-

Beer or Bread?

sDofisible. It Is raid on the Ameri-

affected by the liquor trade. Take,
for example, raw material. Alconol
cannot be made except by destroying
carbohydrate foods, such as sugar
and starch. and while sugar is mount
ing 10 fifteen cents pound the liquor
traffic is consuming each year enough
sugar TO supply the entire country for
thirty days. We are taking sugar
from the mouths or babies to enrich
the brewers A vast amount of labor
- wasted in producing, transporting
and distributing alcoholic beverages.
II is estimated that the muscular
man power expended, not in making,
but merely In handling. the output of
the liquor factories is sufficient to set
up and pull down the great pyramid
of Egypt nine times year. although
II took 100000 men a generation to
build II.
The papers have been reciting In
flaming headlines the stories OF food
riots in New York because of a car
shortage. but the liquor trade uses
the equivalent OF three thousand
trains of 200 tons each year. 1t
wastes millions of cubic feet of space
in our export and import shipping;
crowds our docks. fills our freight
cars crowding out OF them articles
of food The labor cfhciency-loss
each year 10 America because of
drink is equivalent to the entire ma
ton standing idle for thirty days.
In these times of high taxes and
high prices every dollar wasted buys
misery for large parts OF our popu-
lation, and all this is saying nothing
Of the vice. crime. disease, sorrow
and pain resulting from the drink
traffic.
