r . Jr 4 < v i APPEAL MADE i.i i.ic "FIZZ" Inductive Bubbles Add Charm to 8oda Fountain and to Othor Drinks. Few things appeal to us and capnire our fancy like a bubbling spring. \s it conies sparkling out of the cooi lepths of the earth, it smiles up at is in the friendliest way, like some ihy,'living creature, inviting us to *ome and slake our thirst. The mere ?ight of a spring usually makes us 'hirsty at once, no matter how re ^ently we may hav- filled up on tapwater or well water. No little of the charm of the soda fountain is dne to the rush and bubble and sparkle of its stream, as it pours hissing and swirling and foaming into the glass. And who can tell how much of the fatal seductiveness of equally effervescent but less innocent beverages, with their crimson sparkle or creamy foam, or "purple bubbles winking on the brim," may be due to their hypnotic appeal to our fascinated eye, as we "look upon the wine when it is red, when it moveth it.-coif aright?" Certain it is that the most popular and irresistible liquors, fron. lowly lager to lordlv champagne, art those that sparkle and foam and bite, with the keen fresh tang of carbonic acid gas. Even whisky has to he mixed wi'h something sparkling "soda" or "I'olly," in order to fnaki it attractive to the eye or even to the palate, except of the educated 01 jaded minority. No small amount of tlie charm ol "fizzv" drinks, whether innocent 01 hurt?ful, lies in the "lizz." The motto "All fizz abandon, ye who entei here!" over the door of every saloon and liar, if enforced, would well nigli sound the death knell of drunkenness.?T)r.

There is much wisdom in the ut- y teranpp of n Vpw Ynrlf HoraM oaf. ? _ ? - * a respondent who says that many working girls are victims of the ab- j surd Hmbition to lie "in the fashion." This observation applies to mqny others besides working girls, for 1 there is not a grade of society that is I not under the curse of what is ealled f i "style." Children, no matter how t poor their parents, must follow the fashions set by their wealthier play- ' mates. The home of the salaried man 1 is often robbed of all comfort and happiness by absurd efforts to imitate the costly mode of living of the i i millionaire. In a fruitless attempt to "make a front," r.s it is called, (. many a young man runs into debt y , and then seeks to retrieve himself by r betting on the race track, gambling r ( in the stock market and taking ? monov from his employer's till. It is u I 1 .a s-fe to say that of the young girls i who go wrong, nine-tenths can trace | their fall not to low wages, but to a fatal ambition to be "stylish." ; If this awful word "style" and its e ntanv derivatives, including "stylisii[ est," could ho e'im na'cd from our , ] vernacular and the ambitions that i they create rooted out from the * [ minds of the younger generations. . ^ , we should hear less about young pco, pie "going wrong."?Now York ller' ',ld- | : WENT AFTER JOAQUIN MILLER \ 1 Indignant Father, "With Blood In Hit Eye," Sought the Scalp of l the Editor.

JONES, TH Tkt Huk Coct tf Liviit The high price of living is demanding more thought of people in every walk of life than ever before, and how to solve the problem is the question. The principal reason for high Drices nrobahlv tbaf fKo oton<l. ard of living is too high. The sentiment of getting the best of everything, regardless of price, is dominating the purchasing element everywhere. The producer and the middle- j man understand this, and have 1 placed a price on everything that1 is edible. The tendency of the American people is toward the extreme of buying. The realism of economy never enters into the E purchase of the common necessi- I ties of life. I People know too well the cost of living is too high, and still I they seem to be contented until H til the grocer's bill is presented, >1 and then it becomes a vital H question. The blame is placed B upon t le trusts atd corporations, g when the real cause is nearer B home. The fact is the people 1 themselves are in a great mess ure responsible for such enormous piic? s. It is true that the ? various storage plants, tnjsts | and corporations are, to a great ? extent, responsible, yet the peo- jg ' ph* ne^d to be satisfied with less I i high-priced necessities and raise i more of their living at home. g For the Weak and Nervous.
