Philippines, returned from his, do
cese yesterday in the steerage of the
Cunard liner Caronia. He said that

like other citizens. Before leaving
the ship he shook hands all around

death that the public was made
aware that her remarkable novels
were the work OF the well known critic
and essayist. Their style seemed SO
enthusiastically feminine that even
the most astute critics believed that
they We're written by woman's hand.
Another famous writer, Laurence
Housman. known already as a poet
and artist. made a third and most sue
iessful appearance before the public as
a 'veiled lady" A remarkable book
appeared entitled An Englishwoman's
Love Letters" which all the critics
praised and all the clubs and literary
circles talked about Who was this
woman who had laid her heart barrel
The critics agreed that, whoever she

for a time. and then. to everybOdy's
immense amazement. the real author
was revealed as a man after an.

COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST.

We have all heard OF ghosts, but mono
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 doom's day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds Of Thousands Of
drug-habit cases, including opfIm, 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 10 constitute q
habit In the true sense OF the word. Al
though millions OF glasses of Coca-Cola
are drunk every year. no Coca-Cola
fends have ever made themselves Wis
ible at the doors OF the sanitariums for
the treatment OF drug habits.
The Coca-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 IL advertised and thereafter
because II tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink IL
when they can get IL and contentedly
do without IL when they can't get it.
IL you had ever Witnessed the rawlings
Of a real drug fiend when deprived OF
his drug. IL you had ever observed the
agony he suffers, you would never
again be so unfair as TO mention Coca
Cola In the same breath with the
"habit-forming" drugs.-Adv.
