10 1T RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
COlA7

Men who play the willy game of poll
tics have discovered that the best way
to distract the attention OF the public
from their own shortcomings is to
make a loud-mouthed sensational at
tack upon someone else. As the cut
te-nsh eludes its pursusr by clouding
tho surrounding water with the con-
tents Of its ink sac, SO the political ad-
venturer takes advantage OF the igno-
rance and prejudices of the people to
escape from his indefensible position
by muddying the waters Of public
opinion.
A case In point IL the recent attack
made upon the religious press for
carrying Coca-Cola advertising. This
attack was made BY politician who
was supposed to be an expert in chem
fstry but who, having brought ! suit
against the Coca-Cola Company. was
Inundated by having to acknowledge
that he could not qualify as an expert.
Tho court decided in favor of the Coca
Cola Company as It was clearly shown
that the only essential difference be.
tween Coca-Cola and coffee or tea Ia
that the former contains only about
half as much caffeine as the latter and
that the flavor In different
The question as to whether 1t II right
to advertise Coca-Cola seems to resolve
itself therefore into the question as tc

Boston. Mass.-Spirit messages and

ty court at Cambridge.
Mr. Fletcher died after the police
had gone to his apartments to arrest
him on serious charge. which recent
Developments seem to show was un-
warranted, and when questions were
asked at police headquarters and by
the medical examiner, DIR. George b.
Magrath. the policemen who sought
the palmist declared he had swal-
lowed pellet. which they believed
contained poison and dropped on the
floor unconscious.
Dr. Magrath performed an autopsy
and was unable to find any trace of
poison, SO he sent the internal organs
to an expert for chemical analysis.
Meanwhile Miss Susie C. Clark of
Cambridge, an author Identified with
various organizations for psychic re-
search, declares that spirit messages
have been received from Mr.. Fletcher
in which he assures his friends that
he did not commit suicide and that
he is working hard in the world be-
yond to vindicate himself OF the accu-
sations made by the police.
Other spiritualists have told law
yers Interested in the settlement OF
the estate that they have had mes
sages from Mr.. Fletcher telling them
that his brain was stolen after his
death and begging them to find 1t so
that he can tell them fully everything
that has happened since he went to

New York.-Ed. Gaines died broke

of gamblers. He didn't want to write
to any one. he knew OF nothing he
could buy for three cents. and the
hangover wasn't an asset. So he went
into a saloon and laid his wealth on
the bar.
Be a sport he said to the bar

roll me one flop for a nickel.
He won. and won again. Others
came In. BY noon he had $50 in his
