More and more the senate has set itse!f

In the motion picture the actors ar.
called upon to face. not mere tech
nique-hairbreadth escapes and res
cues which the audience know are
fsiEned. but the actual crises OF life
MS Is one reason why the movies
have driven OF the stage the old-fash-
toned melodrama. In the outdoor
scenes they actually do the things
that are shown on the screen: they
ride the horse. run the automobile,
row the boat. In bitter winter wealth
er the actor leaps into the ocean and
drags 10 the shore the drowning hero
me; or some young girl descends by
rope ladder from the nfth story OF a
tenement; or in the battle scene sol
diers fall from their charging horses
and lie on the ground. trusting the
other riders not to trample them.
Surely. this takes courage
This Is not nelodrama In the old
sense, not merely acting. Il is life il.
self. one Of those rare crises that
call out the unusual courage Of a he
roine American Magazine.

HOW COCA COLA REFREshGs.

The remarkable Success which las
attended the sale OF CoonrCola has hssu
explained In many different ways. Some
have attributed IL to good advertis-
ing. others to -efhcient management
others. to its delicious favor" and sttlI
others to the fact that IL was the frst in
the field OF "trademarked" soft drinks.
In this connection. the opinion OF .
manufacturing chemist who has analyx-
ed Coca-Cola and studied its history for
many years. will prove interesting. He
attributes the popularity Of the drink
In large part 10 its quality OF refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ductng any subsequent depression
he points out the fact that the chemical
composition Of Coca-Cola Is practically
identical with that OF coffee and tea
with sugar added the only material
difference being the absence OF tannic
acid from Coca-Cola- He points to the
laboratory experiments OF Dr.. Holling-
worth Of Columbia University aad OF
DIT. H. c. Wood. Jr OF Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the cat
feine-eontzinins beverages fcoRee. tea,
Coca-Coia. etc. relieve mental and mus
eular fatigue By rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will. thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group OF beverages differ
from the stimulants In that the use Of
the latter Is followed by q period Of de-
preston which calls for more stimula-
