Increasing Alcohol Consumption

DESPITE the fact that temperance sentiment and prohibition territory are rapidly on the increase, the use of alcoholic beverages is increasing still more rapidly. The per capita consumption of distilled, fermented, and malt liquors all show an increase of a greater or less degree—a fact which should stimulate all temperance advocates to more earnest endeavors toward checking the further extension of the traffic through the medium of prohibitory laws.—California Prohibitionist.
