In Various Cities.

A constantly increasing number OF
cities of all sizes are establishing milk
stations and dispensing milk, whether
pure whole milk. certified, modified,
pasteurized or sterilized milk to
mothers of babies that must be bottle
fed. Some OF the cities in which such
Institutions are maintained are: AL

Milwaukee. Newark, New Bedford.

The milk station is simply room
sufficiently large to accommodate the
patrons and equipped with large Ice
box. a desk. some chairs and a table.
An ordinary store Is suitable for a
station and sometimes. as in the case
Of the station at Utica, N. Y, a school

The station is usually under the
charge OF a nurse. and a physician is

10 1T RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
COlA7

Men who play the willy game Of poll

tack upon someone else. As the cut.
tle-fish eludes its pursuer by cloudins
the 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 is the recent attack
made upon the religious press for
carrying Coca-Cola advertising. This
attack was made by q politician who
was supposed to be an expert in chem
istry but who. having brought :. suit
against the Coca-Cola Company. was
kumiliated by having to acknowledge
that he could not qualify as an expert.
The court decided in favor of the Coca
Cola Company as 1t was clearly shown
that the only essential difference be-
tween Coca-Cola and coffee or tea Is
that the former contains only about
half as much caffeine as the latter and
that the flavor is different.
The question as to whether 1t 10 right

itself therefore into the question as to

is It not time that parents should
think Of this subject, and see II they
cannot devise other methods Of cele-
brating our national holiday that will
not entail such sacrifices Of life and
property? Is It not time that in an age
when peace and arbitration are in the
air, and when the great nations-of the
earth are steadily advancing toward
the day when disputes and differences
will be settled by arbitration, that We
should begin to teach the children
higher ideals Of patriotism than noise
