COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST.


We have all heard Of ghosts, but none
Of us have ever seen one. It's the same
way with coca cola "fiends;" you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until doom's day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds of thousands OF
drug-habit cases, including opium, NOR
phine, cocaine, alcohol, etc., say that
they have never seen a case where the
use Of Coca-Cola has SO fastened itself
upon the individual as to constitute
habit in the true sense of the word. Al
though millions of glasses of Coca-Co
are drunk every year, no Coca Cola
fiends have ever made themselves Wis
ible at the doors of the sanitariums for
the treatment of drug habits.
The Coca-Cola habit is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw
berry habit and the ice cream habit
People drink Coca-Cola first because
they see it advertised and thereafter
because it tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink 1t
when they can get it and contentedly
do without it when they can't get it
If you had ever witnessed the rawlings
of a real drug fiend when deprived OF
his drug, if you had ever observed the
agony he suffers, you would never
again be so unfair as to mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with tbs
@habit-forming" drugs.-Adv.

Problem of Feeding the Help in Large Hotels

SCTIE problem of feeding the help in
i large hotels has perplexed mana
gers in every city in the world" said
the head of one of Washington's
largest hotels the other day. THE
question is now being considered by
many Of the large hotels in this coun-
try whether it is cheaper to raise the
salary of the employees and not to fur
nish them with meals or to provide
regular meals for them.
"In many large hotels there is a
class of help that is fed in the kitchen,
while other employees have special
dining rooms. The chambermaids,
bellboys, porters, scrubwomen and all
employees of the lower grade are fed
usually from the helps kitchen. One
of the leading hotels of Chicago al
lows the first officers 500 per month
for their meals, and they order from
the regular menu. AS this is the most
exclusive house and the cafe prices
are almost prohibitive, this amount is
not too much to give any officer fair

Roger P. Bresnahan, catcher for

Jackson Monument Guns Are Bronze Smoothbores

WITHIN the circular fence which
w girdles the green mound on which
the Jackson monument stands in La
fayette square are four old field guns
pointing outward from the corners of
the white stone pedestal. They are
slightly depressed.
The guns are bronze, muzzle-load-
about two inches. They are crusted
with the gray-green which comes to
cannon with age and lends charm to
antique ordinance.
The carriages have been freshly
painted, the wood gray and the iron
parts black. The carriages are we'll
preserved. 1t seems impossible that
they can be the original carriages of
these guns. The wheels have wooden
hubs as big as beer kegs, with four
teen spokes and scven felloes. The
lynch pin through the spindle is of a
pattern that was superseded several
years ago by the new artillery hub
cap fastening. The elevating screws,
square wooden axles, square timber
trails, the brackets for trail hand
spike, the sings for rammer staffs and
the trunnion seats and fastenings
seem to mark these gun carriages as
of the Civil war type of field artil-
1ery.

''The Wehrbellin," as it is called, is
the center of rich legendary, historical

by the villagers in the neighborhood
that the lake suddenly appeared where
