COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST.

We have all heard of ghosts. but none
Of us have ever seen one It's the same
way with coca cola ''fiends;" you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until dooms day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds Of thousands Of
drug-habit cases, including opium, NOR
phine, cocaine, alcohol, ETC.. say that
they have never seen a case where the
use of Coca Cola has SO fastened itself
upon the individual as to constitute .
habit in the true sense Of the word. Al
though millions of glasses Of Coca Cola
are drunk every year, no Coca-Coia
fiends have ever made themselves Wis
ible at the doors of the sanitariums for
the treatment of drug habits.
The Coca-C Cola habit is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw
berry habit and the ice cream habit
People drink Coca-Cola first because
they see it advertised and thereafter
because it tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink It
when they can get 1t and contentedly
do without 1t when they can't get 1t.
II you had ever witnessed the rawlings
of a real drug fiend when deprived OF
his drug, II you had ever observed tho
agony he suffers, you would never
again be 80 unfair as to mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the
"habit,forming" drugs.-Adv.

was a dollar bill, as the collections
from the poor box never amount to
more than a few dollars. He looked

The next time he placed his hand in
the box he drew forth four bills. Two
of those were yellow backed and were
for an amount equal to that Of the
first. Father Buisson took the roll OF
currency and the pennies and silver
from the box to his house. There he
discovered that the greenbacks were
for $1,000 each.

stained, | probably looked very much

music to accompany the wedding
feast. l willingly complied with their
request, and found in them q most
appreciative audience. Indeed, so en-
thusiastic were they that / received a
most pressing invitation to remain in
their village and settle down per-
manently amongst them. This sug-
gestlon was still more energetically
advanced when l refused to accept the

STEAM A GOOD FERTILIZER

English market gardeners for years
had such trouble with slugs, cutworms
and other insects, that they could
never be sure of good crops. They
then hit upon the plan Of introducing
iron pipes into the soil of their gar
dens and forcing great quantities of
lot steam through the pipes. In this
manner the steam killed all these in
sects. and also the eggs that were in
the soil awaiting time for develop
ment into more crop-destroying in
sects.
The experiment worked so well that
scores OF such gardeners prepared
plants for steaming the soil of their
gardens, and as a result, after few
years of this, it was found that the
killing of all damaging insects was by
no means the only benefit that steam
gave.
In other words, steam proved to be
one Of the very best OF fertilizers. So
great was the fertilization Of the soil
by them that it was found the usual
amount of fertilizer used would have
to be diminished, or the ground would
become altogether too rich for the
best growing o fthe garden truck
After considerable experimenting
investigation it was learned that the
increased fertilization was due to the
sterilization which 1t produced, kill
ing the phagocytes or protozoa which,
unde- ordinary circumstances, keep
down the number of bacteria in the
soil whose operations are of such

nitrogen into the needed plant food
