10 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
tle-hsh 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 prese 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 = suit
against the Coca-Cola Company, was
humiliated 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 is right
TO advertise Coca-Cola seems to resolve
itself therefore into the question as to
whether 1t is right to advertise coffee,
tea, chocolate. cocoa and other bever-
ages Of the caffeine group.-Adv.

MILK CRUSADE SAVES BABES
Ueauens for Distributing Infant Food

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

Utica
The milk station is simply a room
sumcienuy large to accommodate the
patrons and equipped with large ice
box, desk, some chairs and a table
An ordinary store Is suitable for q
station and sometimes, as in the case
OF the station at Utica, N. Y. a school
room may bs used for the purpose

Obliteratina Field Of Waterloo.

While Americans are observing the
semi-centennial of Gettysburg, and
thousands study the battle by the aid
of the monuments and markers on the
battlefield, complaint comes to Eng
land that the Waterloo terrain Is in
danger While La Hale Sainte and
Hougomont still bear the marks OF
cannon shot, both are in danger Of
being rebuilt, and part of the Hougo-
mont wall against which the wave of
French courage dashed In vain has
already been pulled down. That Is not
the worst of the situation. according
to British officer who recently visit
ed the field. "Tramcars" and cheap
fares have been followed by "tawdry
cafes" located on the very spot
whence the Imperial Guard recoiled.
What Is to be done? The suggestion
is that cooperation Of Belgians and
Englishmen who would preserve the
topography Of Waterloo many be effec-
tive In doing for that famous field
what has been done for Gettysburg, but
the first step, it is admitted, will be
very expensive. II preservation Is not
organized there Is danger that the
strategic points will be obliterated by

One of the best labor-saving ar
rangements is a device to fasten the
strings or wire netting for the vines
of the porch. A strip OF wood one
inch square and about six feet long.
with a strong screw eye at each end,
is all that is needed. Drive two nails
into the upper part of the porch, the
same distance apart as the screw

the strip lift 1t up and hook the screw

no nailed-down carpets, but movable

that there Is no such thing as dry
cleaning. busting was a mere dis

employed.

New Years Gifts.

The New Years gift no doubt orig
mated with the Romans, for with them
giving and taking was carried to such
an extravagant degree during all the
365 days of the year that Emperor
Claudius prohibited the demanding OF
presents except On New Years day;
but the practice continued for many
wears. In England and Scotland the
sixteenth century customs are numer-
Gus and many of them are strangely
childish. In Scotland it was perfectly
allowable to ask for a New Years
gift. and Henry the Third Is said 10
have extorted presents in plate and
other valuables; while Queen Eliza
beth's jewelry and wardrobe were al
most wholly provided from these gifts.
In old times gloves were popular, but

presents and when money was given
instead Of a gift 1t was called glove

TO utter the words which would reveal

seemed with one bound to have leapt
the space that separated them.
You Jezebel." she ragged, and struck
her fair upon the mouth.
Ryan and Kelly did not stir The
unexpected had happened, and they
were spellbound
Gloria's breath rushed through her
teeth with horrid, kissing sound, her
face was flushed, her hair touseled.
and her waist in disarray. Yet she
needed nothing but the wild impulse
to defend her own.
Little Ella, her scant strength all
spent, gasped out that she would tell
nothing Gloria was beside herself
and the promise meant nothing to her
With a mans strength she lifted the
woman up. held her there an instant,
and then hurled her back upon the
bed Her head fell over the side, and
she lay as one dead.
Her rage was still hot upon her as
she turned to confront the two men,

nan if you viii, but beware of David
Kerr! If ever you have cause to fear
him, you have it now. My anger is his
anger, and don't you dare defy the
daughter of David Kerr"
She took a step forward menacing-
ly, as if she had strength to mf1ict
the same chastisement they had seen
administered to the woman. They
did not stay TO argue with her. Leav-
ing Little Ella to her fate, they made
a hasty retreat
No sooner were they out of the room
than Gloria put into execution what
she had designed when they departed
the first time. Rushing to the door
she closed it hastily and pushed the
washstand in front Of it, wedging it
under the knob. This done, she ran
back and dragged Wright from his
hiding place. There was no thought
of the woman whose head hung over
the side of the bed in such CHASTITY
fashion
Gloria lifted his head and dashed
water upon his face. She watched
him closely, and as she saw that it
had no effect upon him, sudden fear
seized her and her cheeks were
blanched. With trembling fingers she
tore at his shirt and felt for the beat
of his heart She could feel it's faint
pulsation. He lived
With a wild cry she flung herself
forward in a deep swoon upon the
body of the unconscious man.

moments had passed since all had
admitted that Little Ella dominated
the situation. That fact she recog.
nized as readily as did the others.
Now she determined to make use of
her power. Gloria herself had aroused
The sayagery Of the woman by having
indamed her against the boss. not
knowing that the creatures rage was
directed against her own father.
Feverishly stimulated to an unac-
customed mental acuteness by the
thoughts OF her wrongs as Gloria had
lain them bare, all the cruelty of the
woman's nature asserted Itself. Re

New Years in the Far East.

In Japan the New Year is welcomed
with far more energy than in this
country. Let a mans energy be ever
so defective, he is expected to rise at
a. N. and don new clothes to meet
the suspicious morning. Then, with
his gala garments in due order, he
worships the gods, performs obeisance
to the spirits of his ancestors, and
pays homage to all relations older
than himself. No ordinary viands are
consumed at breakfast. The tea must
be made from water drawn from the
we'll as the first ray of the New Years
sun strikes it. On every table figures
a red lacquer tray, covered with ever
green leaves, and supporting a rice
dumping, a lobster, oranges, persifn-
mons, chestnuts, dried sardines and
herring root; all these dishes possess
ing an allegorical Specification. This
meal is the start of the festivities,
which are continued for 16 days, bust
ness being almost entirely suspended
for the first week of the year.
