rs IT RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
COLA2

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 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-
yenturer takes advantage of the igno-
rance and preiudices OF the people to
escape from hif 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
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 it is right
to advertise Coca-Cola seems to resolve
itself therefore into the question as to
whether 1t Is right to advertise coffee.

ages of the caffeine group.-Adv.

EARLY GREECE HAD aEcALL
When Man Rose to High Power He
Was Considered q Menace to
State and Was Exlled.

In the palmy days Of the Greek re-
publics, many centuries ago, as his
torians tell us, when a man rose to
such a height OF power or affiuence
that he became a possible menace to
the state, the citizens took a vote on
his case as an undesirable" says the
Christian Herald. This was sent to
the senate and, il the vote was suffi-
GENTLY large and representative, that
body passed resolution in which the
too distinguished citizen was invited,
in polite diplomatic terms, to take a
few years of retirement abroad-in
other words-he was officially exiled
for the good of the state. This was
"ostracism," so called from the fact, 1t
is explained, that the voting citizens
wrote their names on oyster shells,
and 1t was instituted as a measure Of
security to the commonwealth. Any
citizen Of great wealth or influence,
or who had large personal following
which might, in an emergency, be used
to the detriment of the state, was liza
BILE to receive this distinguished mark
of public consideration. 1t was kind
Of primitive recall" which had the
advantage of being equally applicable
to Sins" and outs" Those early
Greeks were wonderful fellows, and
knew how to deal with the knotty
problems Of their day, which doubt
less included grating and other hu-
man peculiarities not unknown in our
time. If an election did not suit them,
or If any man swelled too far above
his fellows. there was always the level
ing oyster as wholesome corrective
in reserve.

GOOD YEAR FOR HEDGEHoGs
Extraordinary Multiplication OF the
Animals Something Of Puzzle
TO the English.


Among the curiosities Of natural his
tory that last year produced Is to be
noted the extraordinary multiplication
OF the hedgehog. On some of the
heavy lands OF the midlands they have
been found alternating in such num-
bers as no native has imagined pos
sible.
This is the more curious. as other
mammals. especially rabbits, are sim
gularly scarce. The rabbits were
drowned in hundreds. Their bodies
were seen floating down the brooks.
and certain number of leveretts were
also killed by the wet What should
make these rather obscure animals
flourish is mysterious, but both they
and the rat seem to multiply In wet
years.
In the places where these hedgehogs
are SO numerous there is great
dearth of partridges. and the two
facts are by some connected. 1t is
not unlikely that the number Of these
animals has forced them into a rather

HIS HENS SWIM AND DIVE

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

Gently the keeper of the hens got up
extra early in the morning and was
COMPOUNDED when he saw dozen of
his hens floating on the lake in the
midst of the flock of ducks. They
were 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 a characteristic &C
quired through long association with
the ducks, He will segregate the hens
and ducks hereafter, for, although he
has no objection to swimming hens,
he feels that the flavor of the eggs di-
rectly concerns his own reputation.
