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 dOom's 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 a
habit in the true sense of the word. AL.
though millions of glasses Of Coca Cola
are drunk every year. no Coca-C Cola
fends have ever made themselves Wis
ihle 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 SEQ 1t 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 q real drug flend 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.

Galloway and Coroner ]. @. Allen that
he killed his brother-in-law, Stephen

fession was made after Saunders had

tion before the coroner's jury at

sible for the theft of several of his
horses last year and also intimated
that family quarrels, resulting from
the marriage of Saunders to Woods
sister. was partly responsible.
Sheriff Galloway started with the
prisoner for Montrose, but when with
in five miles of Placerville, the
nearest railroad station, the car
broke down and they were compelled
to walk to Placerville and stay there
all night.
Saunders said another person was
with him on the night Of the shooting.
but refused to give any name. Tracks
of two men and two horses were dis
covered, and seven shots were fired
as evidenced by empty cartridges.
One was from rifle and this corre-
sponded to the bullet taken from
Woods body. The others were from
a revolver.
1t is believed that Saunders wife.
who was al her parents home, knew
of the shooting. When told of her
husbands arrest and confession, she
became hysterical.
