TTTASHINGTON.-If the ratio of
w increase in deaths from alco-
holism in the first six years of pro-
hibitinn continues, alcoholism will
be the sole cause of death by 1870
and no American citizen need
worry about any other ailment.
In fact, alcoholism will have killed
US all off.
Surprising? Well, let's figure
it out.
The government has listed 900
deaths from alcoholism in 1920
and 41C3 in 1926. Population
also increased, so the number of
alcoholism deaths per 100000
population rose only from l to
80.
Bat the increase was one of 500
per cent and it will make our fig
urirg much easier if we say there
We're four times as many deaths
from alcoholism in 1926 as in
1920.
IL lHGit RI [ lOuA liLltS do IlAtiiS
alcoholism deaths in 1892 as in
1926. that will be 16 per 1000
population. And if the ratio con-
TIMES through 1898 it will be 64.
And so on-256 in 1914, 1896 in
1856. 1886 in 1862, G5,535 in
196S-and in another year or two
thereIl he 100000 deaths from
alcoholism per 100000 popula-
ton. Result: No population.
But 1t Won't
Cne is justified in assuming, Of
course. that the ratio of increase
will not continue. The pre-war
alcoholism death rate, running
from 81 to 5.S, may be as high
as the prohibition rate will go.
Nevertheless, these figures on
alcoholism and cirrhosis of the
liver recently published by Mr..
Toover's Department of Com
meree certainly do offer possibili-
ties for analysis.
Net states and dry states alike
have been affected by the increase
in deaths from alcoholism, Few
states haven't doubled their rate.

REAL NEED FOR
MORE DIARIES
\ HAYS ASSERTS

Information obtained by tho To-
cal chamber of commerce, from
Golden state Milk Products Com
Pany, indicate that 1928 is destined
to be banner year for dairvmcn,
especially in California and Impc-
rial Valley, Here the feed situation
is good, with increased paintings of
alfalfa i'll the fall In the United
States, rs a whole, butter prices are
ut Il level some three cents higher
than a year ago and the monthly
averages are the highest since 1920.
In Imperial Valley, during the
month of July, 1928, the price of
butter fat averaged IS Is cents, as
compared with AZ cents last July.
This Improvement is probably
largely the result of the extensive
selling campaigns conducted by the
manufacturers of butter, ice cream,
dry milk and condensed milk to in
crease the use throughout the coun-
try of milk products. The campaign
has even extended to Europe, where,
at this moment. President e. f..
Gray of the Golden State company,
with four other men comprising an
American commission Of prominent

in Germany to teach the Germans
and other peoples of Northern Eu-
rope the value of dairy products in
diet, and to encourage the consump-
tion of the same in their own couu.
tries.
The result of increased uses of
milk products has had marked cf
feet. For instance, on July |, l92N,
there was in cold storage in this
country 69.&43,o00 pounds of butter.
\ year ago there We're S2.996.OOO
pounds in cold storage. This means
that an extra 2o00o,0o0 pounds of
butter were drawn from storage
stocks within the year and eouSum-
ID in this country.
Export of butter from the valley
reached $4,000 HIS. in June. 1927.
In juno, 1928, the export was only
3ol,0 900 lbs. Presumably, we are
using more butter at home. and had
smaller cXportable surplus.
Butter Production Short
The baking trade, il appears. now
uses huge quantities Of dairy pro
ducts, with demand from this
source which increases daily. Each
month sees an increased use Of
fluid market milk, which comprises
the milks and creams which go di-
reetly to the consumer without first
being manufactured into made-up
dairy products.
1t is interesting to note that last
year the state of California con
sumed 1o4.5oo,ooo pounds of butter.
Vet it produced only 100000
pounds, making it necessary to
bring in from other states 2700QO00
lbs.
