 One task, he said, was to steady the emotional life of the nation to re-estab- fish the old stability in place of the pres ent day moral principles, and the other to bring about a more just, more fraternal social life The one, he declared, involved the moral and religious training of the young; the other called for a decision by the church on the morality of living on unearned incomes.

A Great Necessity

There are very few peo- pie who have as yet re- alized the importance of the soda fountain. A soda fountain that is sanitary is one of the rarest things to be found. Another thing to be considered is the quality of materials served. A soda fountain properly managed is a blessing to humanity. One that is improperly run is a great menace to health. Unwashed glasses and spoons transmit disease.
 Strange to say, some people who are really in- telligent prefer quantity to quality, and will insist upon a five-cent ice cream or a ten-cent egg drink. Com mon sense should be enough to con- vince these people that no one can stay in business and serve good material at these prices. Food or drink taken into the sys- tenn should be of the very best q uali ty. Norton's Soda Fountain is supplied with the very best-and quality, not price, is what we insist upon.
 Our milk and cream we have tested by the city inspector. We make all our ice cream and sherbets and all syrups served at our fountain. The same care is taken in the buy ing, making and serving as though if were for my own home. Visit the soda fountains in Birmingham, compare the difference in materials used, the diff ference in the preparation of these materials and see which fountain you pre- fer
