Whisky Production In 1912 Breaks Previous Records.

Washington, Aug. 13.—The people of the United States produced more whisky and rum and 3moked more cigarettes during the fiscal year 1912 than ever before in the history of the country, according to the preliminary annual report of Royal H. Cabell, commissioner of internal revenue, submitted to Secretary McVeagh. The consumption of whisky was exceeded only by the year 1907, but beer drinking fell off by a substantial increase. The unprecedented smoking of 11,221,624,084 cigarettes, exceeding the record of 1911 by nearly 2,000,000,000, amazed treasury officials. Stored in warehouses the country over are 263,786,070 gallons of whisky and rum, the greatest on record. In Kentucky alone are stored 158,000,000 gallons, which exceeds the total amount of whisky and rum in the United States eleven years ago. The record production of these intoxicants for 1912 was 188,000,000 gallons or 13,000,000 gallons greater than 1911. The consumption of whisky and rum for 1912 w.as 133,377,458 gallons* the nearest approach to the record of 134,031,000 gallons in 1907. The consumption of beer for 1912 was only 62,108,733 barrels, a decrease of over 1,108,000 barrels as compared with 1911.
