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 it to good advertis-
ing" others to efficient management"
others, to it's delicious flavor" and still
others to the fact that 1t was the first in
the field of "trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion OF
manufacturing chemist who has analyz-
ed Coca-Cola and studied its history for
many years, will prove interesting. He
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 Coca-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.. H. C. Wood, Jr of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the CAT
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
habit. ADV.

Movies and Melodrama.

In the motion picture the actors are
called upon to face, not mere tech
nique-hairbreadth escapes and res
cues which the audience know are
feigned, but the actual crises of life.
This is one reason why the movies"
have driven off the stage the old-fash-
toned melodrama. In the outdoor
scenes they actually do the things
that are shown on the screen; they
ride the horse, run the automobile.

Two CAPTURED Four Hundred.

Toward the close of the Peninsular
war 400 prisoners were captured by
John Colborne, afterwards Field Mar
shall Lord Seaton. Clborne, who was
wounded at Talavera, had been dis
abled for some time, but In 1913 he
was in active service again and when
Wellington's army crossed the from
tier in France he performed what was
indeed the most amazing feat of his
career.
When riding, with no comrade but
the famous Sir Henry Smith, separat-
ed from his column, he saw 400
French soldiers passing along a ravine
below him.
THE only way was to put good
face on the matter" he wrote; $50
went up to them, desiring them to
surrender The officer thinking. of
course, the column was behind me,
surrendered his sword, saying theat-
really: 'Je vous rends cette, qui a
bien fait son devoir' q surrender this
sword, which has done it's duty well.)
The 400 followed his example"
Sir Henry Smith used to declare
that he had never seen such cool pres
ence of mind as Colborne displayed
on this occasion.

LIFE SAVED BY LETTER IN"
Great Lawyer, With Lightning Quick.
ness, Saw Point That Resulted
In Freedom for Client.

Has picturesqueness departed from
the bar? Either the lawyers of today
cling too tenaciously to what is simply
practical or else the reports Of trials
omit the most interesting features. 1t
was not always so.
Thaddeus Stevens once saved mans
life by single letter. He was de-
Tending prisoner indicted for MUIR
der, and the chief witness against the
culprit testified that he had heard him
exclaim: by God, have shot him"
The great Stevens insisted that
maybe the prisoner had said: my
God, I have shot him.
The change of the letter "B" to an
IN" in the first word of each sentence
would make mighty difference, since
the latter expression might be one of
surprise or exclamation over an acct
dental shooting. The witness con-
fessed that perhaps the prisoner had
said my" instead of by" and the
jury freed him.
This was the Stevens who years be-
fore had saved $500 to buy law books
and then spent it to purchase freedom
for slave boy whom he CHANGED to
see upon an auction block. 1t was
also the same Stevens who was re-
sponsible for the impeachment of Pres
ident Andrew Johnson.-Columbu

1hrixes ON Sea Water.

William Ireton, a New Jersey man
Of eighty, who looks as hale as many
men Of forty, says he lays it all to a
habit he has of drinking pint of sea
water every morning as a tonic. Ordi-
narily salt water is not sufficient, for
there are other minerals in sea water
besides common salt. The explana-
ton given by the scientists of the
tonic effects of sea water on the hui
man system Is that man developed
through long ages from what was orig
inally an aquatic existence. The fact
that man can not live long without
salt seems to bear out this theory of
his marine origin. In the artificial
mode of life which is now prevalent
some of the elements which the sys-
tenn Graves are wanting. A good
course Of the genuine old original
brand of sea water seems to tone up
the bodily processes by supplying the
missing elements-Pathfind

READING the Bible,

OF all English writer's none is under
a deeper debt Of obligation to the
Bible than Ruskin His works TEEN
with quotations from it. In Ethics
of the Dust" for instance-one of the
shorter books-there are no fewer
than 80 direct quotations from Scrip
ture. And Ruskin has taught us how
the Bible should be read. "The way
in which common people read their
Bibles" he writes, "is just like the
way the old monks thought hedge
hogs ate grapes. They rolled them
selves Git was said) over and over
where the grapes lay on the ground.
When fruit stuck to their spines they
carried off and ate. So your hedge
hoggy readers roll themselves over
and over their Bibles and declare that
whatever sticks to their own spines is
Scripture and that nothing else is.
But you can only get the skins of the
text that way. If you want their juice
you must press them in cluster"

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit, and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and there didn't
seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him l felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis.
cussion he decided to give it up.
1T was a struggle, because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it
and then it was easy to leave off
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at last
he was a new man altogether, as a re-

years back, left sum Of money with

to be built, and once year he direct

a feast. Every year the six old ladies
and the six old gentlemen meet the
trustees and have dinner. Some of
the trustees are county councillors and
the like, but according to the terms
of the will they have to serve the old
people first and make them comfort
able. The guests always sit in the
same order as the number Of their
houses, and the menu must include a
bowl of punch and veal pie with

BICYCLES Popular in France.

From statistics for 1912, prepared
by the Cycle and Automobile Manufac
turers' association of France, it is re.
ported that there we're at the close OF
that year S9,1S5 motor cars, 1854 mo-
torcycles and 2,9S9,9S5 bicycles, in use
in France. This represents, for the
population of France, one automobile
for every 500 inhabitants, one bicycle
for every 13 and one motorcycle for
every 1882 Then years ago there
was one motorcycle for every 1000 in
habitants and one bicycle for every 80
persons. The department of the Seine,
In which Paris is situated. has PLAZA
automobiles and 304S66 bicycles.
Between 1910 and 1911 there was
the enormous increase of 100000 bicy.
cles. In 1899 there were in France
only 1,762 automobiles, whereas in
1912 the figure rose to S9,1S5. 1t Is
estimated that from 1900 to 1000 for
eign-made cars are sold in France ev-
cry year. The French manufacturers
build the remainder sold in France,
estimated by the association as being
10000 to $4,000 last year.
