the vast improvements in the methods have
rendered it cheaper and more satisfactory
to buy the water from the big manufac-
turers. The tanks are delivered daily. or
when wanted, like milk or ice, at a cost
much lower than the contents could be
made for on the premises. The tanks
usually are stored in the basement of the
drug store or confectionery store, or, when
this is not feasible, in the bottom part of
the fountain. The water is carried 10 the
faucet through small pipe, which usually
is encased in ice and issues gurgling and
frothing over the syrup and ice cream.
The initial investment IN the soda water
business is largely in the fountain. There
are two reasons why this expense is so
heavy, the first being that the outside ma
terial always is OF an expensive kind and
the other that the workmanship has to be
first class. In the first days Of the modern
fountain white Italian marble represented
the climax OF beauty and taste, but with
the introduction Of numerous syrups white
marble was found TO show stains and soon
become anything but eleanly looking Then
colored marbles were used. and still are TO
great extent. But strictly present day
taste dictates that the fountain of high
class shall be onyx. which is more service
able and ornate. In the eloquent words Of
the catalogue poet:
Onyx appeals not only to the eye, but "a
. the imagination. Fanciful shapes OF castles
crowned submits, of wind swept forests OF
rugged canyons and gently sloping river
valleys seem pictured in its surface; clouds
set in all the varied hues Of the sunset APP

refrigerator known. Exclusive n the orna-
mental features. IL is nothing niore nor less
than a refrigerator. To accomplish the
greatest efficiency of refrigeration the
workmanship must be careful and proper
tiOnately expensive. The materials used In
piping, faucets and other fixtures must be
not only well put together, but of block
or pure tin Innings. This is made necessary
by the danger to the consumer I'm the use
of other metals. or late years much of the
beer drawn in the large cities is forced
from the barrels by gas sold in tanks and
delivered to the saloon like the soda water
tanks. In the saloon apparatus copper is
used in the pipes and IT requires but a
comparatively small amount of neglect or
uncleanliness for the gas to cause a corro-
sion that, introduced into the beer means
as certain death as a Mauser bullet. Not
only is this the theory, but many deaths
from poisoned beer consumed in the cheap
and filthy saloons have been reported. This
danger is entirely averted in the soda foun-
tain by the use Of pure tin, which is i'm
pregnable to the action of the gas. This
tin costs IS cents pound and is an i'm
portant item Of expense in a soda foun-
tain.
With his rented tanks OF carbonic acid
water installed IN MS basement ana the
tontain placed temptingly in his store the
soda water merchant finds It smooth sail
ing ana Inexpensive. The glasses cost from
81 to $50 a dozen, the German silver hold
ers about SO and the long spoons about
S dozen. Then comes the supply OF sirups
and ice cream. Nothing illustrates the
enormous spread of the business better
than the increase in the trade in sirups
One firm in this city does a business OF
about 600 a year in fruit Juices and
sirups for soda fountain use alone Re
Gently most of the grocery houses and can
ming firms have gone into the business so
great has become the market for this class
Of goods. The strip is just what it's name
implies made 'of about eight pounds Of
sugar TO a gallon Of water. The fiavors are
SO numerous and we'll known that they
need not be enumerated, but the principal
ones are vanilla, chocolate, lemon and
orange.
None of the vanilla extract used in soda
fountains ever came into close contact
with real vanilla bean. but is made of
'vanillin,' a product which originated in
the analyzing Of the vanilla bean and its
reproduction by artificial means In short
vanillin Is artificial vanilla. and Il II claimed
for IL that Il is no more injurious than the
product OF nature The high cost OF the
vanilla bean precludes It's use in havorinR
extracts 10 any great extent. and there b

soda water, it should be explained, is not
adulterated water. but water containing
less gas, or of a lower degree OF efferves-
cence This estimate of IA cents per glass
includes the cost of all materials, ice, rent,

the business directly or indirectly.

SFor the summer thirst of Uncle Sam
and Aunt Columbia and the children there
is an astonishing variety OF soda water
drinks, almost all Of them with the plain
soda water as it's base One catalogue
lists seventy favoring extracts in common
use The list of drinks prepared for the
selection Of the public at the soda foun-
tains is longer than the wine list at a first
class hotel or the menu at a Chicago res
taurant. The possible combinations of soda
water, ice cream, fruits, sirups, nuts. phos-
pilates and other materials make one dizzy
TO calculate. Mixing has become a fine art
and the professional summer drink mixer
has become a bartender Of distinction.
The requirements in the first class saloons
have become so onerous that many bar
keepers have deserted their places for the
marble and onyx Of the soda fountain.
With them they have carried many OF the
tricks OF the adept mixer to their new call
ing. such as the long-range pouring from
the shaker into the glass which a few
years ago was the accomplishment of the
cocktail mixer solely. The soft drink bar

"soda Water" a MisnOmer.
Like almost everything else soda water is
misnamed. No one expects to md soda in
soda water What is known to the trade
as the English method OF soda water max
ing consisted OF mixing sulphuric acid with
marble dust-an omnous sounding combina-
ton The result was the liberation OF the
carbon dioxide gas which was used 10
charge the water. Neither the sulphuric
acid nor the marble dust entered into the
composition OF the water. The by-product
OF this process was plaster of paris. which
represented the residue. but which, like the
acid and the marble dust. did not enter al
all into the finished product
Improvement of industrial methods
brought a change in the process. however
The manufacturers learned that soda water
| could be made as cheaply and a more valu-
able by-product he secured by the combins-
ton Of bicarbonate OF soda with sulphurc
acid, The residue was the sulphate of soda,
a much more valuable product than plaster
OF paris So this has come to be the &C.
cepted method OF manufacture in the larger
establishments.
The carbonic acid gas is introduced into
tanks containing purified water-at least il
should be purified II II is not-and the com
! bination agitated TO secure perfect charg-
| ing. Then the charged water is drawn on
| into steel tanks containing from ten tC
| fourteen gallons each and capable OF re-
sisting pressure of about los pounds TO the

stock items OF news in the summer time
like the pistol that wasn't loaded, but tbs

tracts. whether they be used in soda foun-
tains or for domestic purposes.
The chocolate extract also, is a delusion
and a snare, so far as its genuineness goes,
for It is cocoa, substantially the same as IS
served hot at the breakfast table. While
it is not chocolate, it is not injurious
The lemon fiavoring is made from the peel
of the lemon and tartaric acid, and ac-
cording to the manufacturers, is no more
injurious than would be the pure juice Of
the lemon. The orange extracts used are
said to be exactly what they purport to be.
The crushed fruits that have become so
popular of late years are made in the same
way the ordinary table preserves are made,
except in the isolated cases in which the
soda fountain man uses the perfectly fresh
fruits crushed before the eyes OF the con-
sumer.
Attracts Notice of Law.
The enormous spread of the soda foun-
tain business has caused the authorities of
several states to pass laws dealing with the
syrups and fruits used I'M the making of the
delightful ice cream soda, and 1t is probable
that similar legislation will be enacted in
Illinois. At present the pure food commits
sion may seize materials of questionable
character at soda fountains under its gen
eral power only when it finds something
being served that plainly is a menace to
public health. No system of inspection is
provided for. Commissioner Jones said the
other day that special legislation on this
point was badly needed, not that there was
reason to believe wholesale and injurious
adulteration was being practiced, but be-
cause with the growth OF the business 70
such a volume there is certain 20 be aduI-
teration II the manufacturers are not
watched and certain standards established.
The laws passed by some states regulating
the manufacture OF fruit syrups have
brought a howl from the manufacturers.
In the cary part Of the year the firms en-
gagged in the business met in New York and
formed a national association TO put
through amendments to pure food laws
which prevent their products from being
kept longer than a certain time. They de-
clared they must be allowed TO add a harm
less preservative or they would Withdraw
their products from those states In which
such laws had been passed. The Pennsyl-
vania dealers took the same step.
! The total average cost OF an ice cream
soda to the retailer is az cents-that is, for
the full-sized, pure soda that sells for Il
cents. The manager Of one OF the largest
chains Of confectionery stores in the coun-
