THERE'S NOTHING LATER
 IN SODA FOUNTAINS
Description of One Just Installed at
 the Busy Drug Store.

Within the last few years there has been a remarkable development in soda fountains. Manufa cturers have been vieing with one another for the production of the most beau tifuI the most convenient and more than all, for the most sanitary. The last word sems to have been said. The utterance of it is at the Busy Drug store of A. L. Boehmer.
 The new soda fountain was install ed last week It was manufactured by the Western Drug company of Los Angeles. What is known as the back bar is built of mahogany with large mirrors of selected plate glass. At each end there is a display cabinet in which colored leaded glass figures and it is lighted by a beautiful electric lamp with the lately de- signed Tiffany shade.
 The counter is fifteen feet long with 6 six foot return with facings of marble and Mexican onyx An orna- mental feature of it is a handsome polished onyx counter rail The counter service is equipped with a German silver pump and iceless re- frigeration. Porcelain jars contain the syrups and fruits which equip- ment makes the dispensary service as pure, sweet and sanitary as DOS sfble.
 Many people, in fact, most of them. do not attach to the sanitation of the soda fountain the importance they should. There is an impression. all though it is being dispelled, that in the highly charged waters, microbes cannot turk But the greater dan ger lies in the unclean containers. That danger results either from the lack of a proper care of them or from the materials of which they are made. The system employed in the fountain being described eliminates all danger.
 Glen Glassford is the chief dis penser, a very capable and affable gentleman and one of the most ex- pert in the southwest. His assistants are Jack Sparks well known here, and Ralph Soules.
 Next Thursday will be the formal opening day when will be introduced to the public of Phoenix the famous drink, Win Fig, manufactured by Ar mour & Co, and which has recently been put on the market. On the op- ening day this delicious drink will be served free
 MT. Boehmer at great expense has provided for the people of Phoenix soda fountain the equal of any that may be seen on the coast or in any eastern city. Though a day has been set for the formal opening the foun- tain is already in operation and it has resulted in an increase of busi- ness befitting the rush of other de- partments of the Busy Drug Store.

HUMAN HEADS AS TROPHIES
Peruvian Savases Have a Method of
 Reducing Their Size

One of the customs of the Indians that has attracted the attention of civilized people is the reduction of human heads; made by some savage tribes of North Perue and other re- gions of North America. By means of very strange proceedings they re- duced the human head from it's nat ural size to that of four inches or slightly more.
 This custom has been practiced in Peru for many centuries. It is SUD- posed that the custom of using hu- man heads as trophies lasted until the pre- -Incaic period among the natives of Nazca, on account of some divided heads having been found in the graves of this ancient race. These heads had the face and frontal region. and a hols had been bored on the upper part. so that hair string might pass through it, for the pur- pose of hanging up
 From the researches that the Ma tional Museum is carrying on in these regions, several heads have been brought, and although no reduced

"Oh, it was a perfectly lovely game" she said that evening to a masculine friend. ' 'That so? What was the score ?''
 "The score was: Detroit, two hun dred and one million, one thousand and one. and Cleveland, one hundred and ten million, two thousand and one"
 This is the score she had copied from the board on the back fence of the park:

 That our sympathies extend beyond ourselves is shown by the fact that

THERE seems likelihood that cocoanut

THERE seems likelihood that cocoanut
trees will be successfully introduced in
the frost free interior valleys of Southern
California and Arizona, and in parts of
Texas where flowing artesian wells of warm
water make it possible to protect them from
frost For such purpose, of course, hardy
varieties would be required; but these
would be obtainable without much difficulty
from South America.
Prominent as an advocate of this project
is 0. F. Cook, botanical expert of the De
partment of Agriculture. who further sug-
gests that it might be practicable to secure
useful hybrids between the cocoanut and
related palms known to be hardy enough to
withstand the coolest temperatures of these
regions.
Attention is called to the fact that cocoa
nut products are rapidly gaining impor-
tance in the economy of civilized nations.
Eventually, says DR.. Cook, the palm will be
recognized as food plant of the first rank,
not merely by natives of Malay and Poly
nesia, but by the whole civilized world. Al
ready the growing of cocoanuts is an impor
tant industry in the Philippines, in Hawaii,
and in Porto Rico, and it is coming to the
front in Florida, where one planter sold his
crop of recent season for fifteen thousand
dollars.
The notion that cocoanut palms thrive
only along the seashore seems to be mis-
take. In Colombia and Central America
they grow luxuriantly up to level of nearly
a mile above the sea, where the climate IS

relatively temperate. and in the dry interior
are largely cultivated. Indeed, DR.. Cook be-
lieves that the tree was originally native to
the dry. sunny plateaus of South America.
Hence the huge seed, which, with its great
store of food for the embryo plant. and
its reservoir of water inside. is specially
adapted for withstanding drought.
This arrangement for the storage of water
in a cavity inside the cocoanut appears to
be unique. But, as an additional advantage.
it does not even have to be buried in the
ground in order to start a tree. Its first
roots are sent out into the hbrous huSk,
which holds a good deal of moisture, and
the business of obtaining a permanent grip
in the soil may receive attention later. Ii
hung up in the house, the seed will often
terminate and produce a plant two feet
high. The baby cocoanut, in fact, might be
called a self potted plant; in which connec-
ton it is interesting to observe that garden
ers highly esteem cocoanut fiber as pottlng
material.
DIR. Cook says that the idea that the cocoa
nut palm has obtained its wide distribution
through the carrying of seeds by ocean cur
rents is nonsense. Cocoanuts thrown upon
a sea beach, even if they managed to plant
themselves, would soon die, being shaded
out by more rapidly growing trees. Above
all things, they demand sunshine. Wher
ever found, they are always cultivated, and
it is doubtful if there is single wild cocoa
nut palm in all the Pacific. People, not the
ocean, distribute the species.

blind herself; but deciphers "blind direc-
tons on letters in a way that seems some
times to smack of clairvoyance.
Mrs. Mica Zesta Heidemann makes en-
larged models of insects for the Department
of Agriculture. Her work IS wonderful. and
she has no rival in it. Her real vocation is
that of a sculptor. and she has much talent:
but the Government needs her so badly that
it will not let her go.
Mrs. w. a. Leonard is chief expert de
tecter of counterfeit money in the Treasury
Department, and it is claimed that she IS in
fallible
Mrs. A. E. Brown of the Treasury Depart
ment is likewise unique in her role of money
counter. She handles the bills faster than
the eye can follow her motions, and never
errs.
Mrs. ]. I. Thompson is an engraver, and
a skilful one But the list would grow into
a book if all were mentioned individually.
There seems to be no end of curiosity
garding the way salary-earning women live
in Washington. Many, perhaps large ma
jority of them, live at home. Many more
live in boarding houses. The remainder
manage some kind of dininutive establish
ment of their own. There are many houses
in Washington with bachelor apartments,
and the bachelors who occupy them are
sist of only one room, some of room with
bath attached, some of two rooms, or even
more, with private bath Some are fur
nished; some are not. In fact, 1t Is eXpen
sive to rent furnished, and women like 10
have their own belongings, with the touch OF
individuality that is almost impossible III
furnished rooms.
Some of these rooms have kitchenettes:
but even without them one can have gas
shelf or an electric heater which can be kept
in a closet, with small icebox and limited
and carefully selected store of provisions.
These are not for housekeeping in the strict
sense of the word, for often cooking IS pro-
hibited by the landlord; but it is possible to
get a cup of coffee or sometimes to have a
dainty little spread if couple of friends
drop in.
And what one may thus do. except to
bake passes all masculine understanding.
Dinners and luncheons, if not breakfasts
also, are usually taken at a convenient
boarding house or restaurant. NV Lady
probably does a good bit of her own needle
work, and is proud of it. and she may wash
out and do up collar or anything she is par
ticular about but for the real homework
she usually has a maid come in every day
and put the place in order. Often two girls
take an apartment" together, finding it
cheaper, more convenient, and far more
sociable.
Certain it is that women seem to know
better than men how to make their surround
ings comfortable and attractive. Man fits
himself to his environment. And the women
learn how to make many dollar do the
work of two Most men would like to know
how they manage to do that.

between flVe ana nine years, as compared
with 2,2S3 who are credited with shorter
terms of service; but what IS nine years
when YOU consider that S92 women have
held down their jobs for periods ranging
from ten to fourteen years that SOC have
been at it from fifteen to nineteen years and
$50 from twenty to twentyfour years. That
would be proof enough: but 1t IS not all by
any means, for 574 women have served the
Government between twenty-five and TWEEN

Is it that the work is so fascinatingo Per-
haps the Census figures will throw a little
light on that also. Twelve women are chief
clerks, chiefs of divisions, or officers in
charge. They earn up to 81, 800 year. Six
are botaniSts, with pay ranging upward to
81 800. Two are chemists and physicians at

Tor should one say draftswomen,) artists,
and SO forth; four are geographers, geolo-
gists, and psychologists. There IS one
musician. Five are patent examiners, and
IS are nurses. Twenty-six scientific experts
are paid salaries running up to S2.OOO- Two
women are classed as special agents, ex-
perts, appraisers, and commissioners, and
they receive 81 600 and 81, 800. Another
woman is a zoologist at 81 600, and nine are
statisticians at similar salaries. There are
eight editors and compilers, and these get
81 400 to $1,000. Occasionally a woman
makes good law clerk, and five are SO CLASH
fed, one getting the handsome salary of
s., 800. She has recently resigned to enter
private practice. Only three are private
secretaries; but 347 are stenographers and
typewriters. The Government has q
women telephone operators in Washington,
some receiving less than S72O year, and one
getting 81 600. TranSlators do not usually
receive very large salaries; but Of the eight
women holding that position one gets 81 600.
There are two women listed as general me-
chanics, three as photographers, and y as
printing tradesmen.
But in all the list of women workers only
two come under the head of cooks and
bakers and their salaries are under $40.
Alas for Government encouragement of do
nestle science! But there are So "domestics

women, and charwomen. 1873 "unskilled la

CONCERNING MEDICINE.

If doctors prescription is not entirely used, the remainder should be thrown away, bearing in mind that, if liquid, the bottle should be emptied and washed. Not one chance in hundred would ever necessitate the use of the medicine or the same combination of drugs, unless it be in the form of linament or some external remedy, which should be properly labeled. Most medicines do not keep well, and, if unnecessary bottles are kept in the medicine cab inet, mistakes are more apt to be made, and confusion results. The medicine closet should be kept sepa- rate from others, free from damp ness, and under lock and key, if pos- sible, remembering to exclude the light. Drugs, especially powders, are injured by dampness.-Suburban Life.
