IN REGARDS T0^ BOOZE FIGURES COMPILED BT AN UNUSUALLY ENTERPRISING DRY. BY PROF. VEAUX Fifteen million gallons is a lot of but it is only about one sixth the amount of -spirits and one sixtyninth the amount of intoxicating liquors that was consumed before prohibition. During the six months of the fiscal ending June, 1917, the last normal pre-prohibition year, the consumption of intoxicating liquor was follows. Spirits 80^370,105 Gallons Beer 032,669,374 Gallons 21, 861,688 Gallons Total 1,084,901,167 Gallons This would bf over nine gallons of intoxicating liquor per capita consumed in six months. The enormous consumption of intoxicating beer, and wine has practically fallen to zero. The amount of spirits consumed during half of 1917 amounted to 6.40 pints pea- capita, whereas under prothis consumption has fallen afraction over onep int per capita. The Volstead Law permits Physician's prescriptions of one piflt every ten days, or thirty-six pints in a year to one individual, so that it is apparent that the actual consumption is now enormously below the possible authorized legitimate Consumption. Reduce these figures to a matter j of every day consumption, the prove that the people of the United States during the las six months have drunk the enormous quantity of .006 (six one-thousandths of a. pint of spirits per capita each day. The fraction is to small to measure, so iet us say that it amounts to practically one smell per capita per day, and there is not much danger that Uncle Sam will get a very heavy "jag" on by the consumption of that quantity of booze.

The Hostess League hps a large " waiting list from these wounded men 18 who have been nearly two years suf18 fering In hospitals, or convalescent 18 from sickness contracted in the mud1 soaked trenches or gassed, or shell1 shocked. It will not be possible for the Hostess League to entertain more than twenty such boys each week for '* two weeks' stay, as mcny people have forgotten our boys who have given their health and their years to bring a peace on earth and prosperity to all. The hotels of Ocean City have been n kindly feeding one or two of the boys ^ fite of all cost and the members of 8 the Hostess League who have rented n the store at Sixth and the Boardwalk ° have twenty-two beds for the boys at 608 boardwalk. The League pays full car fare and > -.11 ti asportation expenses, has tweny bathing suits, gas hot water, light ■T telephone and supplies for an oceae '.>na" meal if the weather is stormy ® i and the boys cannot go to the hotels. The Normandie Hotel is giving a x benefit for these wounded boys' main8 tainence on August 5th in the evening. Handsome prizes and an enjoyable ;t time is promised.

— ' SPRAY ^ The most Mindly partisan thing in North Dakota is the non-partiaon [ league. In the Wilson referendum plan must be involved the defeat of all anti^Covenant Democratic senators.

Somebody is mighty care- > less about 81000. i _____ Homer Cummings says President • Wilson is immortal, 'and that's going s some for a campaign starter. lH^ieuto talk of providing their . system of government into a vkei president If they would wait unta : - next March we might accomodate 1 5 them. Tom Marshall would be as r useful in Paris as he is in Waahingi ton. , Cox and Roosevelt received a dec monstr&tive reception in Washington. 1 The bulk of the population of that , town would be glad to remain there . for another four years. ; " In general the speech of Senator f Harding is entitled to strong commendation because of its sober earnestness." Candidate Cox Cannot repudiate the Wilson administration. He must, de- ' fend it. We wonder how he will begin. Europe managed to get most of the ' world's supply of sugar; but it fid not get enough to preserve peace.
