a very handsome young lady.

OF course, had to call on Ed
! Smith, the king of soft drinks. His
bottling works is as complete as can
| be found in the state, run with gas
| engine, which supplies all the power
for the factory, including electric
| lights for it and his comfortable and
substantial home adjoining. When

es a button at the head of his bed and
J the machinery stops and the lights go
| out. Mr.. Smith not only knows how
| to compound soft drinks, but all the
| piping and electric wiring of his fac
