FOOD INSPECTION COST LOW
CONSIDERING SIZE OF TASK

Federal supervision of manufactur-
ed food products is carried on at "a
very low cost considering the great
quantity of food inspected. Accord
ing to the United States Department
of Agriculture this cost has been less
than one-hundredth of one per cent
of the value Of these products. That
the job of looking after the condi-
tfons of manufacture is a big one is
indicated by census figures, which
show that in 1919 there were 67,453
establishments engaged in the manu-
facture of food products, with an an
nual output valued at s13,S91, sl4,0 900.
These figures include manufactured
foods only and do not take into ac-
count the great volume of commerce
in raw foods. such as milk. fresh fish.
wheat, corn, oats, fruits and yegeta-
bles. To these large amounts must
also be added the food products inn
ported, which in 1921 amounted to
$672.975.OOO.

rate of increase probably will be

"The increase in the influenza

1918 and 1919 has expired. With the

THE "FLAppER"

THE "FLAPPER"
What is a flapper did you say?
Well, I'll try to explain to you;
A fapper is not always bad,
For some are very true
True to their idea,
True to their men,
True to their God,
For fiapper is no sin!
When a girl finishes her school
She enters world OF men, doesn't
she?
Where the middle-aged women never
blush,
And there's henpecked husbands,
you see!
Yet when the daughter bobs her hair,
Paints her lips and snow-white
cheeks,
The old folks seem so shocked
To have to look at such an awful
freak.
School days being over, the daughter
Wants to have good time,
And, as fashion is running now,
The way she dresses is a crime;
A crime, so the old folks say,
Yet Il doesn't seem SO to me,
For the men always look for
Girls that dress so free.
"Oh, how shocking!" the madam says
With her daughter in knickers and
like;
Could she walk in those uneven
dresses
When she goes out on a hike?
A fiapper is one that dresses so,
For did you ever hear anyone call
A girl flapper that dresses old
Or one whose dresses make you
fall?
Keep your youth" the madam says,
Yet when her daughter dresses
young
With bobbed hair and short skirts,
The old dear feels like she's stung
Don't worry, dear little girl
II they don't call you a fiapper now
They'd call you something else, I'm
sure,
So 1t doesn't matter, anyhow.
A modern fiapper is not so bad,
She has a good time and dresses
right;
She goes to church and gives her
share,
Which is more than you might!
They don't neglect their loved ones.
either,
For just let their mother get low,
She'll sit by her bed all the night,
For she's used to darkness, and so
Good luck to you, girls;
The ones that hate you so
Are the ones that can't dress like you
And are too old and stiff to go.
It's all matter of clothes,
Dresses make the difference, it's
true,
So IL you're a fiapper or not,
Don't feel downhearted or blue.
I'm for fiappers, first last and all
the time,
They're girls with true hearts;
They can stay at home as easy
AS going out on larks.
You can, have a good time.
And yet not be bad:
A fapper isn't hckiehearted.
AS you think. my lad.

1t Pays to Own a Mutual Fountain
WHY YOU WANT IT

Assuming that you are a mer-
chant who sells soft drinks, we
say unreservedly that you real
ly cannot afford to be without
a MUTUAL FOUNTAIN.
WHY? Because PROFITS is
the magic word that turns the
wheel. A simple sum in arith.
metic-no dream; no ifs; no
theory. With a MUTUAL
FOUNTAIN, instead of making
twenty cents per dozen on cold
drinks, you make FORTY
CENTS-and this takes care of
your ice bill and does away
with the lost and broken con-
tainers which you have to pay
out of your profits. You have
your ornamental fountain in
your store, occupying a space
Of but % inches in circumfer-
ence and four feet high. You
have with the fountain an ice
box, as we'll as one icing. but a
hundred and fifty pounds of ice
lasts about eight days.
Every drink is properly pro-
portioned and you know exact
ly how many nickels you get
from each gallon of syrup.
To the customer the Mutual
Fountain appeals from sani-
tary standpoint; from the
standpoint that his drink is ice
cold without having ice in the
drink. No ammonia, no saw
dust, no filth-absolute cleanli-
ness. The customer knows he
is getting a drink properly pro-
portioned; he gets it from a
sanitary paper cup instead of
from a container which has
been exposed to unsanitary
conditions.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-10-24
ALWAYS GOING

Il is easy to keep the foun-
tain always going. The Liquid
Carbonic Co., as is known, has
dealers everywhere. in every
State and city in the Union,
and they furnish the gas tubes
at very reasonable rate-only
loan them, never selling them,
always eager to see that you
have full supply of gas. You
can charge the Mutual Foun-
tain in five minutes, and unless
you have an exceptional run on
the fountain, once a week is as
often as you need charge It.
The fountain holds % dozen
drinks. And in this connection,
something to think about, when
you sell only thirty-five foun-
tains full of coca-cola, at five
cents a drink, the fountain has
paid for itself.
There is no danger of any
thing getting out of order. It
is "fool-proof." 1t will last a
lifetime. You can handle any
kind of a drink you desire and
as many as you desire.
You have a fountain as salts
factory; as sanitary; as dur
able; as convenient-and TAX
ing much less room, as one you
could pay $4,000 or more for. In
presenting the Mutual Fountain
all that is necessary is to Sc
cure your attention only long
enough for you to see it. You
will decide in two minutes that
it is what you want because it
will increase your soft drink
profit at least 100 per cent on
sales, and satisfy every custo-
mer, which means increased
business.
The Mutual Fountain may be
had with from one to four dis
pensers.

motormen, conductors and guards on

As usual all rolling stock available,
including every variety of wheeled, pull
able, ,pushable or motorized vehicle
was inadequate. Thousands started
early afoot and from well before dawn
streets and avenues leading to the bust

pedestrians.
Hundreds of jitney buses from sur
rounding towns were on the job with
the break of day. They were summon

chief Of police when strike appeared
to be inevitable.
