IT RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
7 W. COLA7

Men who play the willy game or 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 politician who
was supposed to be an expert in chem
istry but who, having brought suit
.gainst 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 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.

How Mad She Mas

The limit of forgiveness was surely
reached by the woman who. after re-
ceiving 25 gashes from Ratchet and
having two ribs broken, refuses to
prosecute her husband, and asks
What is the use of starting up a lot
of trouble?" Perhaps II is as much
dependence as forgiveness. In Lon
don, where wife-beating is favorite
sport of the slums, the police find the
greatest difficulty in bringing the Of
tenders to book because women have
to choose between denying that they
were ill-used or starving while their
brute husbands are in Jail. One wom-
an was brought into court all bruised
and beaten up, but she denied that her
husband had done it and pleaded that
she had fallen downstairs. But" said
the Judge. "a piece OF your ear has
been bitten Off" Yes, ] did that my
self; was so mad. "-San Francisco

Convict Made Pets of Mice.

An interesting story of a convict
and his two pet mice is told In the
report of Captain Hanson, the prison
commissioner of London.
Captain Hanson said the convict,
who was imprisoned at Parkhurst, had
two pet mice, but was ordered to an
other prison. where he was unable to
take his pets. Captain Hanson prom
Used to have them cared for and him
self went to the cell for the mice.
Never shall forget the parting
scene" continued the officer. THE
man took each of the mice, calling
them by name, kissed them, and then
put them in little box he had lined
with flannel, and with them piece of
bread and piece of cheese he had
saved"

astrous results. Indeed, the list OF
killed and wounded would be enor-
mously diminished II parents would
take the necessary pains to keep toy
pistols, raw gunpowder, and giant fire
crackers out OF the hands of their chill

business of setting of the fireworks

should be taught that even in play he
must not point weapon at another,
for it is in just such ways that respect
for life is lessened and involuntary
manslaughter is the result.
Thoughtful parents will not give chill
dren such toys. 1t has been the Gus
tom for many years to celebrate the
Fourth of July with noise and Are
works.
Children did not originate the prac-
tice. 1t is the method shown by their
parents. and so each year we have a
slaughter of the innocents equal In
number to the loss in great battle,
and, as In the days of old, when HUI
man sacrifices were laid on the altar,
we sacrifice to the nations glory hun
dreds of it's embryo citizens.
The man who takes his life in his
hands and goes to battle for his coun-
try's protection gives his life to a
worthy cause, but the children whose
lives are sacrificed to celebrate the ma
tons birth have given their lives to
little purpose.
Is it not time that parents should
think of this subject, and see ii they
cannot devise other methods of cele-
brating our national holiday that will
not entail such sacrifices Of life and
property? Is 1t not time that in an age
when peace and arbitration are in the
air, and when the great nations OF the
earth are steadily advancing toward
the day when disputes and differences
will be settled by arbitration, that we
should begin to teach the children
higher ideals of patriotism than noise
and shooting? Fas4 aal 4aF
