Who Drank Your BoozC? You drank twenty-two and a quarter gallons of liquor last year. What! You didn’t do any such thing. Well, then, some one went south with your portion of liquor refreshments with a “stick” in them. Some one with an arithmetical turn of mind and more than a drinking interest in -the joy water business has taken th£ trouble to figure out the latest government figures on the subject. The answer is that each and every person in the United Sates has almost a quarter of a hundred gallons of liquor charged against him for 12 months. Getting down to cases, each and every one of us has consumed about 89 quarts of the stuff for which the first American traded the richest country inthe vrorld. Divide the number of quarts in the year by the number of weeks in the year and ye find ourselves liable to account for a'trifle less than two quarts a week. According to the Broadway restaurants of New York they get 20 drinks out of a quart of booze. This means we are down on the government books for five drinks and a qouple of swallows a day.-—Exchange.
