HE CA Kit li: O AN UMBRELLA ,A dear old lady who was very "sot" In her prejudices was asked just why Bho didn't like a certain man. She. had no particular renton that she could think of on tho Instant, hut she had boen BO emphatic In har expression of dislike that ?ho knew sha would havo to lind some excuse-at once. Just at tn at moment she happened to glance out of the window and seen bim pass ing by. He carried a neatly .rolled umbroiln though it hardly threatened rain. . Quick as a flash she answered her questioner, "He carrie?; an umbrella whether it's raining or not-he ts a "softie." "But," said her friend also looking out ot tho window, "Hore comes your son .Williams, and he 1B carrying an umbrella." : This, did not Btump thc old lady. "But that's another matter-1 don t Uko him a.iyhow-and besides, it all depend? on who carries the Umbrella" she replied triumphantly: That ir. the position some people have taken regarding that wholesome and rr frcBhl- ig beverage Coce^CoIa. They r ave said * good many unkind things about it and in each instance have had !t proved to them that their tales were not true. Finally they seized upon the fact that Coea-Cola ?ceta muuh of its re freshing deliciousness from the small bit of caffeino that lt contains. They looked up On that as a splendid argu ment against it. Then, like the old lady who was reminded ot son Wil liam, they were reminded that lt ts thc caffeino in their favorite beverages, tea and coffee, (even more < than in CocaiCola) that gives thom their re ??sr-???ng iiu? B??Bt&iril?ig qualities. But does that stop their criticism of Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No-their answer ls similar to the old '-dy's-th?y tay ::Bnt -that's another matter"-what they meany .ts "Boing prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik ing tea or cocee, lt ' all, depends on what carries the caffeine." * We'think the joke ls on them-for caffeine ia caffeine, and - If it ?r not harmful In tes or coffce-^-that lt is really helpful In whatever lt is-this 1? bound to include Coca-Cola. Of course, Ute truth,is, that having started an.attack'on false premisen and. having had what they thought were good reasons for criticism prov ed to bo no reasons1 at all. they are grasping ai an excuse which does not. exist, to explain a. prejudice. So you see, after all, it all dependa on who carries the umbrella to people who are determined to be unfair.
