Are American people drinking more
Gquor?
Treasury statisticians say the con-
sumption is much less now than in
the "wetteSt" pre-prohibition days.
But the United States Public Health
service says there is apparent evidence
that people are drinking more" and
cited 1855 deaths from alcoholism in
1884 to support its statement.
Anyhow, DR.. r. c. williams, assist
ant surgeon general, said the public
health service "is not alarmed" by the
increase in deaths from chronic and
acute alcoholism.
The death rate from this cause stood
at 90 per 100000 of population for
1884. an increase from 2.6 in 1888 and
rs in the full pre-repeal year of 1882.
No estimate was made Of the num-
Der of deaths from poison liquor, all
alcoholic cases having been listed to-
gether.
Figures Held Not Accurate.
The figures, compiled by the Census
Bureau for health service reports,
were said by one census official not
10 be altogether accurate He said
there is every reason to believe many
family physicians would avoid sign
ing a death certificate attributing the
cause to alcoholism if another listing
were possible.

Deaths in Alabama increased from 40

then dry, from 80 to 107. MiSsissippi's
alcohol deaths remained at 21 for
both 1888 and 1884.
On the other hand, New York's
death rate dropped sharply during
the first full year after repeal, which
became effective in December. 1888.
During 1888 there were 635 such
deaths, while the total dropped to
