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 IL TO good cdvertis-
ing" others to efficient management"
others, to it's delicious flavor" and still
others to the fact that IL was the first in
the field OF "trade-marked" soft drinks
In this connection, the opinion of a
manufacturing chemist who has aualyZ.
ed Coca Cola and studied its history for
many years, will prove interesting. lie
attributes the popularity Of the drink
In large part to its quality OF refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition OF CoIa-Cola is practically
identical with that OF coffee and tea
with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence of fannie
acid from Coca-Cola. He points TO the
laboratory experiments of DR.. Holling-
worth OF Columbia University and OF
DR.. III. c. Wood. Jr of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
feine-containing 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 stimulants 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.

Senator Packard of Knox, Friday.
introduced bill for an act to pro-
vide for a board of road commits

three members. The act of Senator
Packard provides a new Section Is
which says that each town shall elect
a board of three members as board
of road commissioners. This board
shall elect a superintendent of roads
who Shall serve during the pleasure of
said board. The first board elected
under this act shall serve one member

years and one member for three years
and thereafter one member shall be
elected each year for a term of three
years. The member having but one
to serve shall be the chairman of the

u. of M. Resolves.

The Two resolves of Representative
Euger Levelle of Orono carry a to-
tai demand for $613750 One makes
| a specific appropriation of $100,000 FOR
chemical laboratory $4,000 for 4
womans dormitory, and s33,750 for the
erection of a college of law building.
The other was an emergency resolve
of $4,000 for each of the years 1919
14-15-16 for salaries maintenance of
property, continuance and extension o.
the University, cost of erecting build
ings.
The statement of facts with the lat
er resolve says:
When in the year 1909, the 18th
Legislature granted an appropria
ton to the University of Maine,
the total registration of students at
the institution was SS4. The regis
tration at the present time is 1011.
Then, the appropriation for all pur
poses was fixed at 100000. Now, for
maintenance and extensions exclusive
of buildings. $4,000 is asked.
Regarding the first resolve the state
ment says among other things:
At present the facilities for instruc-
ton in chemistry are entirely made
quate At the opening of the fall sem
ester of 1872 nearly 100 students de
string chemistry could not be accom-
modated. In order to accommodate
the almost 700 students who are en-
rolled in chemistry, classes are held
in attic and basement rooms entirely
untitled for the purpose.
Following the Bangor fire. it was
necessary that the University of Main
make some provision to care for the
College of Law. After very careful
investigation, the only thing that
seemed feasible was the purchase Of
the Merrill estate on Union street, in
that city. This was purchased a a
Very advantageous price. namely, $33.=
$50. In order to pay for the prop
efty, the University should have an
appropriation covering the cost.
