That Cold Stun Habit

Things get pretty thick around the
soda fountain and ice cream stands at
this time OF year, and the American
people are consuming mountains of
ice cream and lakes OF fizzy drinks.
1t must give a certain relief or the
sweltering crowd would not make
such a rush for this stun. Some peo-
pie overload their stomachs with
these sweetened CONNECTIONS and
many get so dependent on this form
of relief that they must have 1t every
few hours.
People with weak stomachs need to
look out that they do not overload
themselves with sugar. But the soft
drings are so much better than the
hard stuff that used to be consumed
with equal freedom. that on the
whole it is a helpful habit. Many
people are thereby reconciled to what
otherwise they would consider the
horrors OF prohibition. No man ever
went home and beat his wife OF
smashed the furniture, as the result
OF taking little too much ice cream
soda.
