Sanitary Soda Water.

No beverage in the world is more
wholesome or more deliciously refreshing
than bottled soda water if that soda
water is pure and the bottles clean. Pure
soda water means a beverage consisting
of pure water, pure carbonic gas, pure
sugar and pure, wholesome isvoring ex-
tract. Pure water is our first considera-
tion. Every drop of water that goes
into our goods goes through a purifca-
tion process. These precautions alone
make it safe to drink our bottled bev-
erages, no matter what NAV happen to
faint or pollute the general water sup
ply. But there is another safeguard.
The fact that carbonic gas is powerful
germicide Is just being discovered by
health departments of various cities, and
a. a consequence they are advising the
public in times Of doubtful purity Of the
public water supply to buy their water
in carbonsted form, either favored or
plain. Various tests have shown that
water slightly polluted with bacteria is
rendered almost absolutely germless BY
the process Of czrboniEation- Granite

 The second week of the erangeiistic campaign at the First Baptist church opened with the service Tuesday night Evangelist Linden preached on the subject Chickens Come Home to Roost. He took for his tcxt Numbers g: 2S, 'fBe sure your sin will lind you out-'' He pointed out the Iact that no matter how big or little the wrong done, that it would be brought to light. He said that some folks think they can pull down the opaqu~ shade on their wrongdoing and thus k, CT things in the dark, but all the tIrue there is staring them in the face ths verse of scripture which is found in the text.
 During this week the evangelist is explaining what the Christian life is, and so tonight his subject will be The Entering Wedge. He aw'' Ieint out what the first thing is that person has to do in order to become Chris tian. It is hoped that many will avail themselves of the opportunity of hear iug these. explanations from tfse Bible and thus be able to settle for thern- selves this question of vital impor- tance.
 Great preparation is being made for the service for women and girls only on next Sunday afternoon at o'clock at the First Baptist church when Evangelist Linden win preach his ser mon on the subject The Idea: Woman. This is not a sex talk but 1t is an ap- peal to the highest and best in Chris tan womanhood.
