1? ?7 HIGHT TO ADVERTISE
COCA IOLA!
Bien who play the wily game of
politics have discovered that the best
way to distract the attention of the
public from their own shortcomings ls
to make a loud-mouthed sensational
attack upon someone else. As ' the
cuttle-fish eludes its pursuer by cloud
ing the surro jhdlng water with the
contents of itt Ink sac, ao the political
adventurer takes advantage of tbe Ig
norance and prejudices of the people
to escape from his indefensible po
sition by muddying the waters of pub
lic opinion.
A ease in point is the recent attack
. made upon the religious press for
carrying Coca-Cola advertising. Thia
attack was made by. a politician who
waa supposed tc be an expert in chem
istry but who, having brought a suit
against the Coca-Cola Company, was
humiliated hy having no acknowledge
that he could not qualify as an expert
The court decided in favor of the Coca.
Cdta-Company a*; lt waa clearly, shown
that the only essential difference be
tween Coca-Cola and coffee or tea ls
that the former contains only about
half as much caffeine as the latter and
thj?t the flavor is different
, The question as to whether it is
right to advertise Coca-Cola seems to
resolve itself therefore Into tbe ques
tion as to whether lt ls right to ad
vertlee coffee, tea, chocolate, cocoa
and other beverages, of the caffeine
