These show that in actual gallons of alcoholm drinks consumed in the year ;i'"S8i?0 there was a great increase over ?.;S other year' in the history of tin country, but in point of alcohol consumed , there has been a decrease of importance. :. This is due to the rapidly increasing con- sumption of beer and wines, the former ; of which contains little alcohol and much water. If the figures are to be believed the United States is the most sober nation on earth, and its sobriety comes from the substitution of beer for the ardent spirits. The figures show that the nation's . drink bill last year, as close as it can be gathered, was $1,548,708,807. but of this amount $233, 269.233 went to tea, coffee and such other stimulants, ranked : ' by Dr. Wiley and others ns producing more illness than all the beer of the i country combined.
