A jury consisting of some Of the

II not guilty IN the case Of Knocker
1t al, Us. Coca-Cola- It win be re-
membered that some time ago a re-
port was circulated to the effect that
Coca-Cola contained injurious ma
terials and was. therefore, harmful in
its effect upon the human body.
The rumor was originated by an IN
scrupulius competitor OF Coca-Cola,
the popular temperance drink, spread
rapidly and found some credence
among those who did not know the
origin Of the report.
The jury finds that not only does
Coca-Cola contain nothing harmful,
out that II is much superior TO tea and
coffee in that it is free from tannic
acid and, therefore. promotes diges-
zion instead OF retarding it. Each Of the
distinguished chemists reported that
he had made careful chemical analy-
SIS OF Coca-Cola and found It TO contain

EIIo Wheeler W.lcoxz Says Look For Good
A4AAOa - w ASOA In Every One

TT EACH your children. oh. mothers
TO look for some good thing In
every one they meet, and for
some happy event In every day. and
70 speak OF these things before they
sleep.
There is no greater kindness you
can show your offspring than to train
them in this mental habit.
Begin when they are first able to
talk and keep at il until they are
firmly established in the happy meth
cd of finding life a picture book with
a bright spot on every page.
Even your grownup children may be
directed by you in this manner. In
stead OF complaining about your life,
or your inability TO do what you wish
for them. begin to talk of your bless
ings and Of their blessings.
The Value of Laughter.
When they are inclined to find fault
with destiny. try to divert their minds
with some amusing incident until you
see them laugh. Then remind them
that it is a great blessing to be able
to laugh
1t is a wonderful and awful thought,
the mighty influence of mother
The persistent belief of a mother in
the ability Of her child to accomplish
great things has helped many poor
man and woman to overcome the worst
possible surroundings and to rise over
seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
The lack of sympathy and helpful
ness. the lack of ideals and the petty
outlook OF another mother, have been
known to ruin the hopes of a whole
family OF children and to prevent the
assistance Of relatives from resulting
in any benefit to them.
Urge your children to make the best
possible use Of their time. Urge them
