Alcoholism was responsible for
over $4,000 deaths in United
States from 1919 to 1929, accord
ing to official Census Bureau fig
ures available today, while an un-
official estimate revealed 4,700
deaths from. that cause last year.
Reports made to the Census Blu
reau for the years 19l9-1928
showed 20, ,450 fatalities attributa-
ble to alcoholism, chronic or acute,
and from poison liquor. The three
classes Of deaths were not divided
but officials expressed the belief
that the poison rum deaths were
In the minority and that over
drinking Of bad liquor was respon-
sible for most of the deaths. While
the number Of alcoholic deaths in
creased, the records actually
showed a slight decrease in the
death rate.
Considering the growth in the
population since pre-prohibition
days there has been a slight de-
crease In alcoholic deaths. In

prohibition, there was a rate of
