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 q
habit in the true sense of the word. Al
though millions of glasses OF Coca-CoIa
are drunk every year, no Coca-ColA
fiends 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 it advertised and thereafter
because it tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies They drink 1t
when they can get it and ~contentedly
do without it when they can't get IT.
II you had ever witnessed the rawlings
of a real drug fend when deprived OF
his drug, If you had ever observed the
agony he suffers, o would never
again be so unfair as to mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the
"habit-forming' drugs.-Adv.

CuIebra, c. 1.-THE strongest de-
Tense of the Panama canal, in my opin-
ion, is the fact that a hostile vessel
must come into a 500-foot channel long
before it is within striking distance Of
the vital points of the canal, the locks,
and in doing SO must pass within easy
range of the forts hat are being built
to guard the entrances"
So spoke Colonel Goethals when l
asked him as to the y~ulnerability of
the canal in time of war. Continuing,
he said:
THE naval power of the nations is
of them would be willing to risk the
destruction Of a single battleship by
attacking those forts, which will be
equipped with powerful guns, and OF
course the accuracy of guns on shore
is much greater than that of those on
moving vessels. l do not believe the
forts would be attacked from the sea
before the enemy had fought and won
q naval victory"
The forts of which Colonel GoethalS
spoke are nearing completion and the
e~mplacements for many of the heavy
guns already have been constructed.
No one not officially connected with
the work is permitted to approach
them, but l venture to say that in case
of Urgent necessity the guns could be
hurried down to the isthmus and
mounted ready for emergency service

DRESS HAIR TO SUIT FACE
While Prevailing Styles May Be Fol-
lowed, individuality Is Always to
Be Considered.

There are some women who remain
true to the parting in the middle OF
the hair, 7 t the many prefer the part
ing on the side. The forehead is en-
tirely covered, as are the ears, n
there is no bulge anywhere over the
surface OF the head. The fatter the
better. This is the fashion Every
individual must modify it TO suit her
head and her face, for it is inartistic
and foolish to follow any fashion with
out regard to your personal appear
ance.
If a parting is not becoming, then
omit it and draw the hair softly
back. If ones eyes are at their worst
with the hair brought down to the
eyebrows. then it must be lifted
The main mistake that nearly every
woman makes in arranging her hair
according to the new fashion is in run
ming it down in a bias line from the
middle of the forehead to the lobe
of the ear. 1t was this line on each
side of the temples that contributed
to the hideousness of the 1865 couture.
Women who take the time and
trouble to study their faces use
this line. You will notice hat they
make it as regular as though it were
carelessly scalloped across the brow
and temples. They give it an inward
curve al the end of each eyebrow and
then bring it out in front of each ear
This line is as old as art itself and
can be seen on any Of the famous pic
fures and stat1ary. 1t Is not Grecian
in its strictest sense, but it is classic.
OF course the outward swerve in front
of the ears is highly exaggerated by

could be made easily on the Pacific
side some distance west of the zone,
but between there and the canal the
jungle is so dense as to be virtually

has shown that that jungle itself is a
powerful defense against IN invading

streams not navigable, and the growth
of trees, brush and great vines so
dense that it is virtually impossible
for a body of men. to say nothing OF
cannon and supply wagons. A rapid
dash through the jungle would be en-
tirely out of the question, and when
the zone is deserted all food supplies
will have disappeared,
Some fear has been expressed that
a. few men could land, make their way
quietly to the canal and blow up the
locks. But it seems unlikely that they
could get ashore and transport to the
canal, undetected, enough explosives
to do any great damage.
On the whole, b canal will be quite
adequately protected-provided 1t il

work. For some time the Tenth in.
fantry has been encamped in the zone
and it's men, in small detachments,
have been hiking all over that part
OF the isthmus. The possibilities OF
landing a hostile force on the shores
of both the Atlantic and the Pacific
have been investigated, and also the
chances tina such a force would have
of finding sustenance. Then little
groups OF soldiers have zee started
from various possible landing places
with instructions to make their way
as swiftly as possible to given points
along the canal, mapping the country
they traverse, in order to determine
what an enemy could do

with a sore on the top of the scalp,
broke out as a pimple and grew larger
until it was a large red spot with q
crust or scab over it. This became
larger finally covering the entire scalp
and spread to different parts of the
body, the limbs and back and in the

and If scratched they would bleed and

them at night when it was being re-

Flower TRIMMINGS.

Trimmings of flowers are much used
on dancing gowns. Sometimes the
low-cut neck is edged with a small
wreath Of rosebuds or other flowers.
and the same trimming idea is carried
out in the skirt Occasionally the
flowers are put On the lining, SO that
only a glimpse can be had. This
is also very effective. Many dance
gowns are worn with fancy trimmed
corset covers, the outer waist be-
ing of a very simple type and very
sheer. Fancy sashes are used, show
ing the cubfst and futurist colorings.
and sometimes a combination of two
or more plain colored ribbons.
