"DO doctors drink soda water?"
"YCs, indeed. even find physicians
not only advising the drinking Of good
soda water, but they are drinking ii

"Milk shakes much drank now?"
Tho druggist made a wry face at the

them. They were short lived. And
they deserved 10 be. Sour milk, and

otherwise doctored up. That was the
trouble. The milk would sour, and be-
