What Census Says About Intoxicating Drinks
Census figures claim heavy costs from alcohol include over 1.5 billion dollars yearly, 530000 confirmed drinkers, 150000 deaths among drinkers, 200000 hungry children, 100000 sent to prison, and 140000 saloons vs 128000 schools and 54000 churches. It argues alcohol funds could repay national debt, feed the starving, build railways, send Bibles worldwide, and supply housing and clothing. The list is followed by a weekly death report from the city undertakers for August 30, noting several fatalities from consumption, spasms, accidents, cramps, and old age.
