zone of the interesting Development
of the last % years has been that of the
soda fountain" says a man who has
been familiar with the course of the
business. Root beer was the first pop
ular beverage, and different people
made it from different formulas, and
some had very good receipts. Then
there was sarsaparilla-both sold in
the bottle mostly. Then they began
10 get small fountains, with lemon and
vanilla sirups. Following these came
the fruit sirups-pineapple, raspberry,
and then the coffee and chocolate Sc.
ries.
CAS- the list began to increase, the
original fountains, which had only one
section with four sirups, were enlarged,
and now there are six and eight sec
tions, with II sirups in a section. The
combination of sirups followed-alm.

Russian tea, egg phosphate, calisaya
and cocoa wine.
About IS years ago the business Of
serving soda hot began, and hot drinks
can now be had throughout the cold
months. 1t is undoubtedly very good
for people, warns them up, and helps
them TO resist the cold, especially il

ing, like bouillon or hot clam broth.
The use of all these things has a tend.
eney to promote temperance, for they
are good, easy to get and take the place
of other things.
Soda fountains are so largely patron.
lied now that a large one in good
will bring in from $3.50
10 $3.50 day. There is a big increase of
business in the large establishments
because small stores cannot afford &c
use the fruit sirups. The essences are
injurious, and people do not like soda
In which they are to be found.
There is big list Of them, about as
large as 1t win be, for there is more OF

ii. There are people who take to some
extent all these different things, flavors
and varieties, or they would not be kept
on hand, but If many OF them were not
TO be had they would take something
else as willingly, and it is easier to serve
fewer varieties.
There are certain staples, things |
that are chiefly in demand. Chocolate |

Facts
for
Women

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known TO the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though il can do much for a
thing, cannot do everything. II may
create a sale for time, but in order
to insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact. and the result is that there
is a lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for il. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled TO claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should. and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.
