he said This includes fruit syrup, ice
cream and the other ingredients of a

Some of the soda fountain proprietors
demurred at cutting their soda prices
from Is cents to 13 cents, exclusive of
the war tax, but those opposed were
finally overruled by the others, and all
agreed to make the same cut.
They stipulated. however, that they
should not be expected to serve the soda
at tables, because that means making
three trips sometimes first with the
soda, then with a straw and afterward
with a glass OF water because customers
who buy table checks feel they are en-
titled to all these extras. they said
Some of the men said they were serv-
ing 10 cent dishes of fee cream to chill
dren but were charging Is cents to older
persons because they usually demand
two flavors. This Ice cream, they stated,
is of better quality than the prewar ice
cream for which they charged cents a
plate. BY dispensing 1t for 10 cents
in stead Of Is cents a plate now they will
be giving more for the money than be-
fore the war.

reduction of 2. cents glass on soda and

accomplished, however, without argu-

for old war time prices, but when the
