Soda Water and Health,

The American people are great con-
sumers of soda water and soft drinks,
and all over the United States sWarms
of people visit the prominent drug
stores and other places where these
drinks are dispensed during the warm
summer days. Those who have travel
ed much will notice that in each city
the people have their favorite places of
resort for securing these drinks and
that those places are continually
crowded. There is a reason for this.
Under healthful conditions these drinks
are pleasing and refreshing, and the
people go where they find that all
sanitary precautions are taken and
when the beverage has that peculiar
attraction for the palate that is only
attained by the use of the best Of
pure fruit syrups properly proportion
ed and served,
Messrs. Tolson & Schonberg have
installed plant that will meet the
requirements of the very best service
and will no doubt be favorite resort
for the thirsty this summer. They
will also serve an excellent quality of
ice cream.
In order that the public may have an
opportunity to test the quality of this
soda and to view their beautiful new
fountain, each holder of a ticket will
be entitled to a free glass of soda
water on Saturday today. These
tickets can be obtained at their store.
w. B. Lancaster, Secretary of the
New Orleans Glee Club, one of the
big excursion organizations of that
city, was in town last Sunday, his OBJ
ject being to work in CONJUNCTION with
the Margaret for securing low excur-
sion rates. AS Mr.. bowman was
called away Unexpectedly, little was
done beyond conference with the
Mayor and few Covington business
men. Mr.. Lancaster's idea is that a
rate of rs cents for the round trip
Dug hit to be given, and if that rate
could be secured he would be able to
bring large number of excursionists
to Covington this summer.
Mr.. Lancaster was assured by Mr..
bowman that he would be willing to
cut his rates sufficiently to make the
round trip from New orleans to Cow
ington Is cents, provided the St. Tam
many Railway will cut sufficiently to
make it possible. AS no doubt the St.
Tammany road will do what it can to
aid Covington, it is probable that this
rate will finally be established as a
popular price. 1t seems to us that
the increased travel would make up the
difference very readily, and that Gov
lngton people would appreciate the in
terest in the welfare of the town.
