The provisions of this bill are vague and somewhat ambiguous, leaving plenty of loopholes for dishonest debtors.

An attack by one of the Cabinet Ministers on the bottled beer trade has called forth a reply from the Deutsche Volkswirthschaftliche Cor- respondenz, in which statistics of the last fourteen years are adduced as evidence that an increase in the consumption of beer is invariably attended by a marked decline in that of spirits. These figures show an increase or 16 per cont. in the use of the former and n decrease of 119 per cent. in that of the latter. In Bavaria the proportion of beer to spirits per head of the population is 245 litres to 0.9 L., in Wurtemberg 184 to 0.6, und in Prussia 105 to 3.7. If in order to be able to include wine- growing France we add the consumption of

The paper concludes from this that, instead of (640 hampering the sula of beer in bottles by fresh police regulations, it ought to receive the sap- port of the anthorities, as boer in bottles is more finndy than beer in barrels and therefore more likely to replace spirits in the household of the working classes.
