soApsUDs AS A DRINK.
Millions of Glasses of It Dispensed
Soda Fountains,

Millions of Glasses of It Dispensed at
Soda Fountains.
A crowd Of fashionably dressed
men, women and children, four or five
deep, stood before the elaborate bar
Of a soda fountain In one of New
York's finest drug stores on hot day,
waiting impatiently for the dispensers
to serve them with foaming tumblers
Of ice cream soda. A physician who
had just entered the store remarked
to a reporter for the Commercial:
Just look at those foolish people
drinking soapsuds. You smile! You
don't believe 1t. Well, that's just
what it -soapsuds-merely sweet
ened, carbonated soapsuds.
OF course everybody has noticed the
resemblance of soda water foam to
soapsuds, but the general impression
10 that the foam Ia produced entirely
by the action of the carbonic acid gas
with which the water L. charged. Ac-
cording to the word of this reputab Bile
physician, the popular belief is erron-
eous.
Customers want the foam, because
1t looks nice and they imagine it adds
piquancy to the favor and makes the
drink more effectual in quenching the
thirst" he resumed "Of course, the
addition Of foam increases the profits
Of the seller of the drink. In order to
increase the amount Of foam some
druggists use a formula composed of
four ounces each Of quillaja, alcohol,
and glycerine, and eight ounces of
water. This Is made into a tincture,
and from two to five drains of it Is
added to a gallon Of syrup. The quill
laja and glycerine form a soap which
Is diluted by the water and alcohol.
THE two active principles of soap
bark. quillaiac acid and sapotoxin, are
violent local irritants, and In sufficient
quantity are polsons. Some soda dis
pensers will not use soap bark on
this account, but others say that there
Is no danger in its use because such
an inflnitesimal amount finds Its way
into a glass Of soda that 1t Is harmless.
Still the fact remains. that the foam
on soda water dispensed In many Of
the drug stores throughout the United
States Is composed largely of soapsuds

up of those whom she had known in
other days who were unable, or timid-

letter was from one Of these. Jul1a
