Is IT 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
fetish eludes its pursuer by clouding
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 a politician who
was supposed to be an expert in chem
istry but who, having brought a suit
against the Coca-Cola Company, was
Inundated by having to acknowledge
that he could not qualify as an expert.
The court decided in favor OF the Coca
Cola Company as it was clearly shown
that the only essential difference De-
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 II is right
to advertise Coca-Cola seems to resolve
itself therefore into the question as to
whether it is right to advertise coffee,
tea, chocolate, cocoa and other bever-
ages of the caffeine group.-Adv.

CHAPTER XIV.
Echoes From the City.

ECnOeS from tne Ottl.
SalIie Kingsbury, unused to psyche
logical analysis, could not have ex-
planned why Mr.. Hand was SO OBJ
jectiolable to her. He was no relative
of the family, she had discovered that;
and, accustomed as she was to the old
fashioned gentility of a thrifty New
England town, instinct told her that
he could not possibly be one of its
varied products. He might have come
from anywhere; he talked so little that
he was suspicious on that ground
alone; and when he did speak, there
was no accent at all that Sallie could
lay hold of. Useful as he was just
now in taking care of that poor young
man upstairs, he nevertheless in
spired in that breast a most unholy
irritation. Her attitude was that of a
housemaid pursuing the cat with the
broom.
Mr.. Hand was not greatly troubled
by Sallie's tendency to sweep him out
of the way, but whenever he took any
notice of her he was more than a
match for her. On the afternoon fol-
lowing Agatha's visit to Mrs. Stoddard,
he appeared to show some slight OBJ
lection to being treated like the cat.
He ate his luncheon In the kitchen
a large, delightful room-while Aleck
Van Camp stayed with James. Hand
was stirring broth over the stove, now
and then giving a sharp eye to Sallie's
preparation Of her new mistress
luncheon.
You haven't put any salt or pepper
on mademoiselle's tray, Sallie," said
he, as the maid was about to start up
stairs.
Miss Sallie, I should prefer, Mr..
Hand" she requested in a mournful
tone of resignation. And Miss Red
mond don't take any pepper on her
aigs; l watched her yesterday"
well, she may want some today.
just the same" insisted Mr.. Hand in q
