From statistics, he says Porto Ricans are drinking 75 per cent more coffee now than before prohibition went into effect. “There Is no demand for the socalled soft drinks,” declared Mr. Gorzyl, “and there will be no increased demand for such drinks In your own country. Coffee will become the favorite drink between meals as it is now at meals. Coffee phops will take the place of corner saloons”
