Washington, Jan. 25.- Whisky
consumption in the United States de-
creased from 89,641,9S5 gallons il
1917 to 5,5S1,55 gallons in 1920,
the first year Of prohibition under the
constitutional amendment, accord
ing to figures announced yesterday

for nonbeverage use have been diver
ted to beverage use" said an accom-
paning statement by the league, "and
granting that many million gallons
of beer have been made and consum-
ed illegally a conservative estimate
shows that the people of the United

Drug Business is
on a Big Boom

Washington, aJn. 25.--Is prohibi-
ton responsible for big growth in
the drug business in the United
States?
Drugs, out Of a long list of bust
ness groups, stand alone as the only
one showing a jump in volume of
sales and future contracts.
Drug business is rapidly expand
ing, while other lines have been un-
der depression, consequent to price
readjustments, the Federal Reserve
Board said today, in a survey of the
business field
Whiskey sales to retail druggists,
by wholesalers legally permitted to
withdraw liquor in huge amounts
from bond and resell to the trade,
account for part of the increase in
drug business, officials said. In
fact, they figured it is responsible
for very substantial amount of this
increase.
The Board had no figures to show
what proportion of the 28,000,000I
gallons withdrawn last year went in
to "drug channels" but admittedly
it was large. No figures were sep
arately compiled to indicate the
growt hin the narcotic trade, but
Treasury reports from various col
lectors' districts indicated that heav-
ier revenues are coming in from
that source, accounting in part pos
sibly for some of the heavier busi-
ness reported by the wholesale drug
dealers.
