er of the safety first" movement on
the Chicago e Northwestern railroad
which has been adopted by tle Ann

in the armory building on South

success than had been predicted for
it.
1t was soon after s o'clock when
General Manager Towsely called the
gathering to order and announced
the purpose of the meeting. He de-
clared that the safety first movement
is without a doubt the greatest step
ever taken in railroad or industrial
circles for the sake of humanity. He
introduced Mr.. Richards as a speak
er of the evening. Continued APP
plause greeted Mr.. Richards as he
stepped forward.
The speaker is just the sort Of y
man who would make a hit with the
railroaders. He has been in the busi~

spent as agent for the Chicago , q

speech, Mr.. Richards is speaker

HOW COCA COLA REFREsHEs.

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale of Coca-Cola has been
explained in many different ways. Some
have attributed it to good advertis-
Ing" others to efficient management"
others, to it's delicious flavor" and still
others to the fact that it was the first in
the field of "trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion of
manufacturing chemist who has analyz-
ed Coca Cola and studied it's history for
many years, will prove interesting. He
attributes the popularity of the drink
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing 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 and of
DR.. II. G. Wood, Jr. of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
feine-oontaining beverages Coffee, tea,
Coca-Cola, etc., relieve mental and mus
cular 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 stimulapts in that the use of
the latter is followed by period of de-
preston which calls for more stimula-
ton, thus resulting in the formation of
q "habit."-Adv.

He, to my mind, is one of the big sur
prises of the game.
"Then, there's Chapman and Car

the fireside brooding over his trou-

was dead. Suddenly a specter ap-
peared before him, and 1t was his
wife. She said: Dear, I could not
bear to see you SO sad and discon-

you. You must not be sad. You

Strunk has developed remarkably
since last season, and he is today one
of the most valuable men Mack has
on his team. Not only is he one OF
the greatest fielders in the league
but he is fast base runner and is
hitting at $40 clip this season.
1t is doubtful if there is another
instance in baseball where a player
has developed as fast as he. Two
years ago Strunk was an ordinary
