The Soft Drink Peril

A soft answer turneth away wrath,
and a soft drink turneth away
drunkenness; though, according
to DR.. Harvey Wiley, the pure food
connoisseur, it doth not turn away
disease or death. IF you only knew
what | know about what these soft
drinks contain, you would abstain
from Them" said DR.. Wiley in the
course of a lecture delivered in
Washington Wednesday night. A
total abstainer from soft drinks
must go the limit in total abstinence.
AS a substitute for strong drink,
the soft drink has commonly been
extolled, not as something just as
good, but as something a good deal
better. But the soft drink of COM
merce is far from being what it is
cracked up to be. DR.. Wiley colIec-
ted more than one hundred samples
from soda fountains and other
sources of supply, and upon analysis
found that each contained caffeine
and many of them deadly drugs.
Even when taken in moderate guam
titles the soft drink strikes hard at
the welfare of the stomach and con-
sequently at the peace and prosper
ity of the system.
Look not upon the soft drink
when it is red, green, brown, yellow
or colorless, for in the end it oper-
ateth like arsenic and getteth there
like carboic acid. But without either
strong drink or soft drink, what is
a drinker to drink? Milk contains
the germ Of tuberculosis, water is
saturated with typhoid fever and al
variety Of other ills, strong drink is
raging and soft drink is poisonous.
Drinks, drinks everywhere and not
a drink to drink.--Anaconda Stan
dard
