RAISE SEVENTEEN BRAVES

BOSTON. March Adventurous Of
the twenty-seven members Of the Bos-
ton National League base ball club who
will begin spring training at Miami,
Fla, two weeks hence have sent in
their signed contracts. and of this num-
Der. it was announced today, seventeen
will receive higher salaries than last
year.
Patrons of base ball are not con-
cerned in the amounts paid players"
Percy d. Haughton. president of the
club, said. but in view of all the talk
recently about wholesale slashing it is
only fair to state that there have been
no sweeping reductions such as a few
players whose demands are out of all
reason would make it appear. OF our
twenty-seven players seventeen were
sent contracts that showed increases
over what they received last season,
four, will get the same pay as hereto
fore, while only six have been reduced
in salary from their 1917 figures.
THE six players who have not signed
know what has been offered them, and
we know Inv fairness to ourselves and
to other men on the team that we can
not and will not offer them any more.
But I believe all will come into the
family fold long before the team starts

usual height of brush jumps is ~ feet.

The United States is the greatest
soda fountain country in the world.
In fact, soda water is distinctly an
American institution, the extremes of
heat and cold common to all sections
of the country being an important
factor in the development Of this COM
paratively new industry. A few other
countries have evinced some interest
in the industry-notably Australia.
where the business Is conducted very
much as 1t Is here. and Americans
have been largely instrumental In its
successful introduction there.

England has also become acquainted
with soda water to a smaller extent:
but England has not the extremes Of
weather prevalent in this country.
and. consequently, there e'has not been
natural demand for cooling bever-
ages and refreshments in the quanti-
ties that they are consumed here,
English ice cream is largely made
from water and ices and sherbets are
used more.
1t is said that when the American
boys asked for soda fountain on
their arrival in London they were
finally directed to an American de-
partment store there. where soft
drinks were served, and from that
time on real ice cream. la American,
began to be advertised wherever the
troops were.
However. the United States owes it's
national beverage to the distin-
guished Englishman and scientist. DIR.
Joseph Priestly, IL Parton in his life
of Thomas Jefferson, Is correct, for
Parton says: ut Ia not true that no
public monument of DR.. Priestly has
been erected. for every soda fountain
Is his monument; and we all know
how numerous and splendid they are.
Every fountain. too. whence flows the
homemade water of Vichy and Kis-
sengen. Is a monument to Priestly:
for 1t was he who discovered the es-
sential portions of the process by
which all such waters are made.
He not only did all he could to
assist the birth Of the nation. but in
vented the national beverage"
1t was In 1857 that Priestly pro-
duced a carbonated beverage by pour

tween two small vessels held in lay

to replenish their stocks. Many sub
stitutes are now being used in place
OF sugar for sweetening which in no
way detract from the favor of the
soft drink.
The wave Of prohibition that has
swept over the country has done more
than any one other influence to de-
yelop the soda water industry. The
United States government has rec
nized the importance of the soda
fountain as the successor of the sa-
loon The bureau of chemistry has
made important studies Of fruit juices
for soda fountain use. The popular
ity of grape juice has been largely
due to the fountain. and loganberry
juice. now being made from loganber-
blackberries and dewberries by the
Burbank method, has been investi-
gated by government expert, who
regards the future of the soft drink
industry as having tremendous pos
sibilities in view of the growth of
prohibition.
Public regulation of soda fountains
in the interest of health has natural.
ly followed the growth of the .busi-
ness. but II is only within period
of two years that any drastic regu-
lations have been proposed. and in
some states these regulations have
gone even further than the demands
upon restaurants, saloons and other
similar places where eating and
drinking utensils are used.
Il
Children being permitted to drink
the national beverage has made the
states take unusual precautions to
safeguard all sanitary conditions sur
rounding soda fountains. The health
authorities Of Ohio several years ago
decreed that all glasses, cups, spoons,
etc, used at fountains must -be ster-
ilzed in live steam after each serv-
ice. In Maryland the state authori-
ties have ordered the use a individ-
ual paper cups unless all glasses are
sterilized. Similar legislation has
been enacted in Virginia and other
states.
Local health boards in many cities
have adopted laws. all having the
same object in view. the prevention
of disease by unclean glasses Pro-
vision has also been made In some
places for the physical examination
of all soda dispensers, so that none
who are diseased may he employed at
fountains.
