Wine Drinking and Strong Liquors

SAYS the New York Voice on wine-drinking countries: "A writer in La Reforme Sociale, August 1, according to Evening Post, furnishes statistics that show that the amount of spirituous liquor consumed in Marseilles, France, has increased from one and a half gallons per capita in 1875 to three and three-tenths gallons in 1891. That is, in the greatest wine-producing district of the world, the amount of strong liquors drunk has more than doubled in sixteen years. And yet Kate Field and her patrons, the California wine makers, insist that all that is needed to put a stop to drunkenness is to make wine drinking more common."
