with chocolate. So great has been
the consumption that the price of
cocoa beans, used in the material for
coating the bars. has risen so per cent.
The countries supplying this product
have had a boom in foreign trade, and
their exchange rates have improved.
So important has the soda fountain
become that it affects the supply of
many other food products.
The gilded barrooms of pre-vol-
stead days would appear plain and
dull in comparison with many modern
soda fountains. A fountain with a
room for serving drinks has been op-
ened on Fifth avenue. New York. upon
which 100000 was spent in decora-
tions. The services of one of the
best known architects in the country
were engaged in designing it.
There are elaborate soda rooms
throughout the country. 1t is not I'M
common for fountains to be installed
at a cost which represents an interest
of S25 a day. Designs are standard
lied so that shops in small towns may
boast of soda rooms exactly like those
of the cities.
English Prefer Hot Drinks
A campaign now is under way to
introduce American soda fountains
and soft drinks abroad. especially in
England. Fountains have been export
ed from the United States. and the
American temperance drink is becom-
ing familiar to the English. The in
dustry has made a greater advance in
the last year than in any previous
period.
The most serious rival of the Amer
lean soft drink is the English cup of
tea. The tea habit is centuries old
and difficult TO combat, There also is
a prejudice in England against the
iced drink. Even in the hottest wealth
er the English prefer hot tea to a
cooling drink. Although the French
are fond of slipping tepid water col
ored with syrup f~lavors, they do not
take kindly to the American soft
drink of much lower temperature.

GRANDSON
GOT TROUBLE ONLY
FROM BIC DIAMOND
"Great Mogul' First Offered
to Madras Governor
by Thief.

There has been published in Paris
By NJ. Bloves a compilation of CORE
spondence, hitherto unknown. which
comprises some interesting facts in the
history of the famous diamond called
the Great Mogul." says the Kansas
| City Star. This correspondence in
, cludes letters of Thomas Pitt. grand
father of the Earl of Chatham.
In 1901 Pitt a governor of Mad
ras. at which time also he represented
an English company. One day q man
came to him and offered for sale for
the sum of $4,000 pounds. a diamond
of an extraordinary size. evidently
stolen from the mines of the Great
Mogul.
In his position of governor Pitt
should have denounced the theft: in
his position of commercial agent he
should have thought first of the inter
ests OF his company. He did neither.
it appears, but used his authority to
intimidate the man with the diamond.
beat down his price and eventually Sc
cured the precious stone for 100000.
Pitt. it further appears, committed
the stone to the care of his son. Rob
ert, ordering him 70 take it 10 Eng
land in order that il might be cut.
When Robert pitt had started on his
journey the father began to think he
had been hasty. He calculated the
value of the diamond at $500, 900. and
she very idea of such a vast sum
frightened him. His wife was already
a great spender. and he feard his son
would follow her example. His fears
were not ~groudless, it seems. since
Robert FASTENED to marry a dowerless
girl and TO begin Housekeeping upon a
ruinouS scale.
When the diamond came into the
hands of the cutter Cope, il by no
means fulfilled all the expectations
founded upon its value. Defects and
flaws necessitated a wholesale cutting
down. and from 426 carats the Great
Mogul fell finally to 12S.
To make matters worse. Thomas
Pitt found himself in political diff
culties. His adversaries made things
warm for him and his company talked
of bringing IN action against him to
recover the value of the diamond.
Pitt judged it wise to return to Eng
land. to rid himself of the stone and
wind up the whole affair. His pat
riotism' would have led him TO prefer
that the diamond remain in England.
but the funds of Queen Anne were at
low ebb just then and so she was not
able TO purchase the great stone
George |. in turn. greatly admired it.
but declined 10 buy on the ground that
it was the duty of parliament to make
him a present of it. So Pitt resolved
TO offer the gem to the regent of
France. who finally purchased it for
the sum of f1OO.00O.

Complete eradication Of pigeon lice
is possible in one treatment if direc-

Department of Agriculture are follow

a solution of sodium fluorid and soapy

To PAY
BILLION THIS YEAR
|. To SODA FOUNTAINS
Prohibition Leaves No Rival
for Rapidly Growing
Institution.

The American soda fountain has
become a national institution. and will
collect a tribute this year of about
81 ,0OO. 1000. 600. The money spent for
most Injuries in comparison with this
figure seems trifling. The soda habit
has been growing for years, and pro-
hibition has served to leave it prac-
tically without a, rival.
There are more than 100000 soda
fountains in operation throughout the
United States. The number and
variety of drinks and foods served
across counters have rapidly increased
in the last few months. and during
the coming season will be still further
expanded. The taste of the Ameri-
can public in soft drinks and lighter
foods is being studied the country
over.
The appeal of the soda fountain is
attributed by some 10 the fact that the
public. deprived of alcohol, naturally

which appeal to both the palate and
the eye. has been contrived to meet
this demand. Even in hot weather
he thirst-quenching drinks such as
old-fashioned lemonade. are not over
ly popular. II was predicted before
prohibition that a variety of drinks
would be devised for men to take the
place of alcohol, but these have not
endured.
leo Cream Important Item
To the surprise of the soda water
purveyors the greatest demand has
been for ice cream. or drinks and dish
es in which it is an ingredient. New
Workers probably are the greatest con
sumers of ice cream to the person in
the world, for the annual supply is
about 800 million gallons.
The American public is fond of a
complicated drink, which will appeal
to the eye, and is willing to pay for it.
The drink with fruits. nuts and other
decorations at fancy prices is becom-
ing eve more popular. A surprising
variety of novelties in drinks and
sweets is constantly served at foun-
tains. The profit for the inventor OF
any novelty which strikes the public
taste is likely to be fabulous.
The greatest success ever scored by
one of these novelties has been that of

The Board of Supervisors has aske
for an opinion from the district attor-

erty on the north side of Main street,
opposite the county Jail. AS it has
been decided to locate the courthouse
on the south side of the street, the
question of disposing of the land on
the north side has arisen. The land on
both sides of the street, consisting of
10 acres, was donated to the county by
w. T. Bill, now of Redlands, as site
for a county courthouse. Whether the
land can be sold bv the county or
should revert to the original donor, is
a question that is puzzling the Board
of Supervisors and pyrompted it to

ney.
