Is 1T RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
COLA?

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 it's 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 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 it was clearly shown
hat 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 it is right
20 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.

EMPTY TOMB AT ST. HELENA
Longwood House, Where Napoleon
Died, Is in Ruins and French Ask
That 1t Be Preserved.

Complaint is made in France that
the government of the republic is neg
lecting the house in which Napoleon
died and the tomb in which his body
was laid at ST. Helena before removal
to the Church of ST. Louis at the In
valides.
In 1858 the Longwood house, in
which the emperor lived during his
exile, and the plot in the Valley of
Geraniums where his tomb was made
were given by Queen Victoria to Ma
poleon III. for the French government,
which desired to maintain them as
lasting memorials. But of late years
little has been done to preserve either
the home or the sepulcher. The build
ing is falling into ruins, the farmers
of the neighborhood let their sheep
Craze in the valley. Visitors are few.
1t is believed that ere long a storm
will wreck the decaying building, and
then in all probability the caretaker
will be withdrawn and the land aban-
doned to the farmer and the herds
man.
Sentiment will mourn over such sur
render of ground to utility, but it is in
evitable. In world where the palaces
of Alexander and Caesar have crum-
bled into nothingness, there can be no
perpetuity for the homes of Napoleon.
The Tuileries went to ashes long ago;
why save Longwood?

RINGWORM ON CHILD'S FACE

Stratford, Iowa.-"Three years ago
this winter my seven-year-old son had
ringworm on the face. First it was in
small red spots which had a rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red dots and
then they got bigger, about the size
of a birds egg. They had white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf.
fered terrible itching and burning, SO
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
full He was cross when he had them.
We used several bottles Of liniment,
but nothing helped.
II saw where {, child had rash on
the face and was cured by Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and I decided to
use them. I used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment about one month, and they
cured my child completely" (Signed)

BEACH COVERED WITH FISH
Sinners at Night In
California.

Thousands of little fish coming on
the sands at Sierra, three miles below
San Juan Capistrano, furnished most
unusual sight and gave an opportunity
for the capture by hand OF many hun
dreds of fish.
Three moonlight nights of each of
the three spring months the fish, which
resembles the smelt, goes on the
sands to spawn. The larger waves
carry the fish up and leave them flop
ping on the sand, flashing in the moon
light The beach for nearly half mile
on both sides of the mouth of San Juan
creek was literally covered with the
little fish one night recently. The run
commenced soon after midnight.
The coming Of the fish is a great &C.
casion in the San Juan Capistrano Mis-
sion valley. People gathered from far
and near, and nearly every one re-
turned with half flour sack filled with
the beauties. Eight to ten automobile
loads Of Santa Anans were on hand.

New Phenomenon.

A new phenomenon has been OBJ
served by Professor Right to which he
gives the name of lono-magnetic rota-
ton. If a spark from a condenser OF
considerable capacity is sent horizon
tally through gas and two small YER
teal vanes of mica in the form Of a
cross are suspended in the middle Of
the discharge by fine fiber attached
to the center of the cross, the spark
produces no rotation of the cross. II,
however, vertical magnetic field is
established in the gas, the cross ro-
tates through considerable angle IL
the gas is air, and over a small angle
in other cases. Professor Right as
cribes this rotation to the bending OF
the paths Of the ions or electrons, and
to the additional protection which the
vanes afford each other against inn
pacts from one side rather than from
the other in these circumstances. The
observed rotations indicate that the
effects Of the positive ions are in gem
eral greater than those of the mega
tive.

SYMBOLISM IN OUR FLAG
Union, Liberty, Bravery and Peaceful
Possession All Indicated in the
National Emblem.

When George Washington, Robert
Morris and John Ross prepared and
presented to congress standard for
the Continental troops and the new
Union of States, every detail in our
flag was made symbolic of truth in it's
breadth and beauty and as the proud
herald of those fundamental princi-
pies our national banner has been dis
played for 1872 years
In the first place, it is the banner
Of the union, the union of states into
solid national compact; the union
of effort to free these states and de-
fend them; the union of hearts loyal
and true; and this idea of national
union emblazoned on our banner is
expressed in the field of blue on which
shine the stars Of the several states.
To destroy this union would be to re-
verse the progress of our history and
make void the struggle and sacrifice
of our fathers.
In the second place, it is the banner
of liberty. These states were united
in the cause of freedom The struggle
of their common enemy forced them
to unite their efforts in the struggle
for common liberty. The recognized
liberty as one of the inalienable rights
to be bestowed by the creator and in
the cause of their liberty and the
liberty of their children they have
pledged their lives, their liberties and
their sacred honor. Yes, it is the flag
Of the free!
In the third place, it is also the
banner of bravery Never in the his
tory of the world did more heroic men
place themselves upon the altar of
patriotism because they feared God
and recognized the justice of their
principles, they were willing to sacri-
flee life itself. AS we look upon the
banner today and remember that it
was made expressive of brave and
patriotic men, it recalls the heroic
struggles of the Revolution. The red
signifies it is the banner of the brave.
In the last place, it is the banner
of peaceful possession. Wherever it
Hcats, our flag is the symbol of
sovereign rule. 1t stands for nation
al ownership-not of any party, large
or small, but the ownership of all the
people; and as such it is the pledge
Of peace, and back of the flag stand
the people and back of the people is
God, whose truth is displayed in its
signs and symbols.

HIS HENS SWIM AND DIVE
Catch Young Trout and Now
Lay FIshy Eggs.

Expert research has disclosed the
reason that patients at the Foresters'
sanitarium at Rainbow Lake, N. Y,
have had to complain of a fish flavor
In their eggs.
The institution has it's own poultry
yard, extending to the edge of the
lake, whittier the ducks repair for
swimming and the hens for drink. Re-
Gently the keeper Of the hens got up
extra early in the morning and was
COMPOUNDED when he saw a dozen of
his hens floating on the lake in the
midst of the flock of ducks. They
we're diving, too, and coming up with
infant trout, which they brought to
shore to devour.
The hennery man, who is also bio
logist, says it is characteristic ac-
luired through long association with
the ducks. He will segregate the hens
and ducks hereafter, for, although he
has no objection to swimming hens,
ne feels that the flavor of the eggs d.
rectly concerns his own reputation.

many toasts as there were states in

Fire crackers, cap pistols and other
ear-splitting devices which have caused
so many of the injuries following in
the wake of the national holiday, were
unknown century ago. There was
sufficient incentive then to make the
biggest kind Of a racket The country
was engaged in a second war with
England, and the younger generation,
with the example of the Revolutionary
veterans before them, might have
been excused had they given vent to
noisy demonstrations.
According to the newspapers of the
time, however, the celebration of July
4, 1912, was conducted In a very or
derby way. The phrase safe and sane"
was not used in describing the events
of the day. Their substitutes a GEN.
fury ago were 'genteer or respect
able" One of the early celebrations
at Princeton was thus described:
The flag belonging to the town was
displayed opposite the front of the
college. At IL O'Clock a genteel com
pany of ladies and gentlemen assem-
bled in the college hall, where they
were agreeably entertained by two ex-
cellent orations suitable to the occa-
sion.
How safe the Fourth was in New
York 100 years ago may be judged
from one of the newspaper accounts,
which says:
We are happy to state that no evil
accident happened, and that the great
est order and tranquility were main
tanned through the day and evening.
The Fourth of July, 1872, was
opened with the raising of the Stars
and Stripes over all the public build
ings and on the shipping in the har-
Dor. At ten o'clock the militia with
the members of the Tammany society,
the Tailors, Hibernian, Provident, Co
lumbar and Manhattan societies with
the cordwainers, shipwrights and 9TH
er trades, met In the park in front of
the city hall, which had lately been
finished. There they drew up in order
of parade, and after national salute
had been fired by the veterans of the
Revolution, they marched down Broad
way to Beaver street to Broad, I'D

GOLD FROM BIG

A. Johnson and w. J. Clethero, part ners in mining on Little Violet creek in the Big Salmon district, arrived in Whitehorse Tuesday on a sort of holiday visit-the first time the form CT has ben out since he went to the Livingstone country, nine years ago after being around on the creeks adjacent to Dawson for several years, say the Whitehorse Star.
 Until he came here this time John son had not seen railroad train for 12 years. The result was he almost took to the woods when the train whistled the other evening.
 Johnson and Clethero brought with them between $45O and $500 in gold from their claim, among which was several nuggets ranging in value iron s1O and $35 and as pretty smooth mug gets as was ever mined in Yukon. It is about eighteen feet to bedrock on their property. They report every body in the Bib Salmon district as busy at winter work. They are emi' nently satisfied with their own pros poets and confidently hope for big cleanup next spring.
