Brass Rail Is
Placed Before
Soda Fountain

ATLANTA, March Am enterpris-
ing ex-bartender of Atlanta found out,
with the approach of prohibition, that
it helped his now soda water business
a whole lot by putting a brass rail in
front of the fountain and making the
soft drinks foam when the soda was
squirted into the syrup.
1t makes the boys feel so comfort
able and home like" he said, and now
big soda dispenser on Whitehall has
taken the hint.
He has put a regular brass rail in
front of the soda fountain, exactly such
as used to be seen only at the bar.
It LOOKS as if the phrase about
putting your foot on the brass rail"
will soon mean nothing more harm
fll than chocolate milk.

PARIS, March Genuine courtsh1p
real love-making-as an incident to
marriage is one of the innovations the
war has brought to France. 1t may
develop into a revolution of the mar
xiage system, and is almost certain in
hny case to be the death of much of
1EAa red tape that has tangled, and
more or less strangled, Cupid.
Marriage was hard hit during the
Erst months of the war, but by reason
0f the authorization of unions by proxy
ard the infusion of war romance it is
rapidly recovering.
Ia Paris there were only 768 mar
riages in January, 1915, as against O.
sA1 in January, 1914. In December,
1915, there were 1899, showing a re-
a.arkable recovery under the circum-
stances.
In d great many of these war mar
rsages, it is noticed that girls without
fortune are for the time being running
theIr more favored sisters a close
race, since in a great proportion of the
marriages celebrated since hostilities
began the marriage contract has been
dispensed with; no mention of dover
nor talk of money; romance has taken
the place of finance.
Wounded heroes haye in hundreds Of
eases fallen in love with and married
their nurses; nearly every day the
atory is told of some man in fighting

Women and girls acting as god

at the front have developed what is
lightly called "the flirt at the front"
into formidable proportions, and this
is at this moment, perhaps, the most
efficient marriage agency in the world.

slant movement of soldiers coming in
eCntact with new faces, every one of
which under present circumstances is
bound to be sympathetic.
Some psychologists have inquired
whether there was not in France a
crying need for deeper affection, and
whether the decreasing natality in the
country was not due in great part to
the obstacles of marriage and the more
material considerations that always
entered into it. The soul-stirring Incl
dents of the war have unquestionably
srought everyone into closer union
ard there seems to have been a gem

when the thaw came all the machines
were talking as hard as they could
for upwards of five hours

member was, in the Christmas week

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When BOY.

If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains drug-caffeine+which
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
them coffee to drink.
"When l was a child in my mothers
arms and first began to nibble things
at the table, mother used to give me
sips of coffee. And so i contracted
the coffee habit early.
II continued to use coffee until was
27, and when l got into office work l
began to have nervous spells. Espe-
