DR.. Stafford, for many years pro-
fessor of chemistry in the Medical
| College of the University Of Nash
Vile, used to tell his students a ia
! ble-the moral of which was "prov.
it, Certain wise men were gathered
together to ascertain the explanation
of statement that when two glasses
of water Of equal weight are balanced
on the beams of balance scale and
a frog is then put in one of the yes
sells the balance remains the same,
thus attempting to prove the asser-
ton that frog has no weight when
immersed in water. Each wise man
had his own explanation, and tners
was much heated argument and dis
cussion. At length one of the wise
men said: But is your statement
true? Let's prove it" OF course when
it came to proving it, they couldn't.
SO when you hear people say that
Coco-Cola is injurious, just ask
them to prove it. They can't. Nobody
can, because it is not injurious. But
on the other hand it can be proved
that it is not injurious by chemical
analysis. Or if you are not chemist
yourself, why not accept the verdict
of every competent chemist who ever
analyzed it? Eminent College and |
University chemists, government, |
and state and city chemists-all have
analyzed Coco-Cola and not one has
ever been able to find anything IN
furious in it. The very next time you
hear anyone say that Coco-Cola con-
tains deleterious ingredients tell him
to write the Cola Co, Atlanta,
Ga, for free copy of their booklet,
The Truth About Coco-Cola." IN

BIG CROPS ASSURED.
Washington Farmers Greatly En-
couraged Over Outlook.

Spokane Wash, March 21.-
Grain and hay ranchers, orchardists
and truck gardeners all over the In
land Empire are looking forward
this season to the largest crops in
the history of the district, which
means that the total market value
of the cereals, grasses, vegetables
and fruits will be a matter of more
! than s100, 100000. 1t is estimated
by growers that Of this amount fully
| SIS, 100000 will be their share from
the apple crop alone.
Spring seeding and blowing is un-
der way in the southern parts of the
district and it is expected to begin
work soon in the northern counties
No wheat is reported frozen out any
where in the district, nor has there
been any serious damage in the
peach belts. In fact. United States
weather bureau reports show the
mercury did not reach the zero
point at any time during the winter.
There was sufficient snow to protect
the fall-sown grain and the thaws
could absorb much of the moisture.
Orchardists III the irrigated dis
tricts report there is ample water
for all requirements, notwithstand-
ing the fact that thousands of acres
of semi-humid lands have been put

How Sea Birds Drink.

Under the headline. Where Do They
Get Water? writer in the Young
Folks Catholic Weekly says: "When
l was a cabin boy | often used to
wonder, seeing birds thousands OF
miles out to sea, what they did for
fresh water when they were thirsty.
One day a squall answered that ques-
tion for me. 1t was hot and glitter
ing day in the tropics, and in the clear
sky overhead black rain cloud ap-
peared all of sudden Then out OF
empty space over hundred sea birds
came darting from every direction.
They got under the rain cloud, and
waited there for about ten minutes,
circling round and round, and when
the rain began to fall they drank their
fill In the tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands OF miles away
from shore. they get their drinking
water in that way. They smell out
storm long way off; they travel
hundred miles maybe to get under it,
and they swallow enough raindrops to
keep them going.-New York Trib-
une.

Illusions.

1t is true we labor under many II.
lusions but If these were to be done
away With we should hardly deem it
worth our while to labor at ALL
Almost none OF the things which
man so ardently pursues in the belief
that they will make him happier Is
really capable OF doing so, and yet it
is needful that he keep up the pursuit
for the sake Of what he incidentally
achieves in behalf of destiny
The illusions we labor under par.
take. in fine. Of the nature Of sanitary
conditions. though they chiefly affect
the health OF the spirit. and by that
have no municipal functionary ap-
pointed to look vigilantly after them.
Nor. in fact. do they need any such,
since providence has been so kind as
to see to it that illusions we shall all
ways have.-Puck

open arms. With a youth of his pro-
clivities and inherent weakness the
outcome was inevitable At no time
overfond of study, he regarded resi-
dence in college as most desirable
emancipation from the restraint of
home life. The love of books he con-
sldered pose and he scoffed at the
men who took their reading seriously.
The university attracted him mostly
by it's most undesirable features, it's
sports, its secret societies, it's petty
! cliques, and it's rowdyism. The broad
spirit and the dignity of the alma
mater he ignored completely. Directly
he went to Yale he started i'm to en-.
joy himself and with the sophisticated
Underwood as guide, went to the
devil faster than any man before him
in the entire history of the university.
Reading, attendance at lectures. he

ceal his turpitudes. Poker playing.
automobile Joy rides, hard drinking
became the daily curriculum In
town rows and orgies of every descrip-
tion he was soon recognized leader.
Scandal followed scandal until he was
threatened with expulsion. Then his
father heard of it and there was
terrible scene, Jeffries, Sr., went i'm
mediately to New Haven and there
followed stormy interview in which
Howard promised to reform but once
the parents back was turned things
went on pretty much as before. There
were fresh scandals, the smoke of
which reached as far as New York.
This time Mr.. Jeffries tried the plan
of cutting down the money supply and
Howard found himself financially en-
barrassed. But this had not quite
the effect desired by the father, for,
rendered desperate by his inability
to secure funds with which to carry
on his sprees, the young man started
in to gamble heavily, giving notes for
his losses and pocketing the ready
money when he won.
Then came the supreme scandal
which turned his fathers heart to
steel. Jeffries, Sr., could forgive much
in a young man. He had been young
himself once. None knew better than
he how difficult it is when the blood
is rich and red to keep oneself in
control. But there was one offence
which man proud of his descent
could not condone. He would never
forgive the staining of the family
name by degrading marriage. The
news came to the unhappy father like
thunder-clap. Howard, probably in
drunken spree. had married secretly
a waitress employed in one of the
sporty" restaurants in New Haven.
and to make the mesalliance worse,
the girl was not even of respectable
parents. Her father, Billy Delmore.
the poolroom king. was a notorious
gambler and had died in convict
stripes. Fine sensation that for the
yellow press. Bankers Son Weds
Convict's Daughter" So ran the
scare heads" in the newspapers.
That was the last straw for Mr., JEFF.
ries. Sr. He sternly told his son that
he never wanted to look upon his face
again. Howard bowed his head to
the decree and he had never seen his
father since.
All this the young man was review.

'Kidnapers," he said, "are apt to

but about wfdower there is always
