COI ItT S DECISION CUKinfX PI KK FOOD LAW. on JuiW 18, 1?H tlu* Cnlted state* Clrojutt Court of Appeals, sitting at < Mnclunatl III the Sixth l<\Ml**rH I Ids trlct handed down it decision con firm ing riu. Judgment of the Uiwer i^ourt tn l li?* ('?mh ('din Chsc. TIiIk was Orfg Inally brought before Judge Sii ii ft hi I of tin* I dst rlct Court of the Cnlted States for the Eastern District of Ten lie* s<m> on March 1:1,1011 au<l was tried al great length before a Jury nt'WJuit taiiooga, Ten n, A score of scteiitt*ts, including the in ok t eminent chemist#,' pharmacologists and physicians of A WerU?, testified as ?'\|H'it witnesses. At the conclusion of the trial the <lov eminent withdrew all of the charges except two and on these two the Court instructed the Jury to return a ver dict In favor of The C-ooa Coin Coin puny. The chsc wan then appealed, and the recent decision of the Circuit Court, of Appeals at CinclnnHti, eontlrmlng the Judgment of the Lower Court, sust a Iiih the claim of The ( 'tx'ii Cola Company that its product Is neither adulterated nor misbranded within the meaning <>f I the I'ure Food Act. The following quotation from the of ficii court record will prove interest ing alike to the manufacturers and consumers of food product* as It give* a clear exposition of one of the most important, auctions of the l'ure Food Law, and also defines the character of Coca .Cola,, the |K>pular soda fountain beverage. It reads as follows: "There Is a middle view, which is sufficient for the purposes of this case and which will recognize the composite meunlng of "added deleterious" rather than the separate meaning of each word. Tills view Is that In using the word "added" with reference to a pos sibly deleterious food Ingredient. Con gress had In mind an addition above and beyond the quantity in which such Ingredient was normally found in usual and customary articles of food, and that no such ingredient should be con sidered as "added" If It wic- present only in the quantity In which It existed in these common articles of food with which every member of OJongress was familiar, and which had generally been thought wholesome. For example: Creosote and other products of destruc tive wood distillation are,' independent ly considered, Injurious, but they have always been present In smoked hams. Can the addition of the same preserv atives to the same extent to the same meat be something mat Congress In tended to prohibit? The boric add, found in apples, Is a preservative. If certain apples which are to -be preserv ed are not up to the maximum in this element, did Congress intend to forbid supplying the deficiency by the same element from another source? Acetic avid may, of course, be Injurious, but if, by Its use. an artificial vinegar is made which is chemically and in every way equivalent to the natural vinegar familiar to the members of Congress In maiiy compounds, would they have thought of It as a deleterious addition? No example is, so clear as the very one here Involved. Every member of Con gress had been familiar, from child hood, with tea and coffee; perhaps most of them drank it. The average cup of coffee contains more than two grains of caffeine; the average cup of tea, one and one-half grains. A glHss of Coca Cola, as consumed, contains one and one-fifth grains of caffeine. The chemical qualities and the physio logical effects of the caffeine which is in the tea or coffee and of the caffeine which Is In the Coca Cola are precisely the same. We are quite convinced that the use In an artificial beverage of a certain element which had been one of Its characteristic elements, for many years, and when such use was in a less proportion than the same element was ,known to make up in different natural beverages than in universal use and generally thought wholesome ? that sueli an clement so employed could not have been within the meaning of Con gress when It chose the words "added deleterious Ingredient." ? advertisement Wants ?

'* '~'K' ? 53?Jk ? ? ? - '* i THE THREE RUNAWAYS By CARRIE LOUISA SHAW, ('overtly pulling back the wiu<Juw shade, Mrs, Caraon watched IJIa paas out of the gate and down the utreet, swinging her books. She could not deny herself what plight be a last gliuijino of the little blue checked fig ure. Slowly ahe turned and walked to a dutik that atood in the room. It waa the one at which ahe uat each morn< lug to write the household accounts. Today it seemed to her the property of another. Every inanimate thing appeared to stand coldly aloof. Sho eat down and wrote, her hand trem bling slightly: Jim I>ear: Three months la not a gre at length of time, but it ha ? been ions enough to .con vince nni that I am & failure. . The children will never accept a blun dering old maid a ? their mother. That la why I am leaving today for the Weit. Oh, If 1 could only have made them car* for mo? that waa my greatest dream. I love them more than you can imagine, but they will be happier without me. I have looked truth squarely In the faco and I know they want no substitute for that real mother, poor little thlnga. After you have considered all thlnga very carefully,' you will see my view point and realise that I have acted wisely. She folded the note, and addressed It to her husband. Three months of the only real hap piness she had ever known, and her stronger self said this must be the end. It would be hard to leave thftm all, and the white, clean little house; but the futility of staying had oome to her quite suddenly that morning. L?ila? ten, dark eyed, and reserved ?had prefaced a request with "moth er." To Mrs. Carson "mamma" had somehow always seemed a sweeter, more intimate term. "Don't you think the word 'mother' a bit formal, dear?" ahe had ventured, with fast-beating heart. Lila looked up quickly. "I'll call you Mrs, ('arson, then," she announced brlelly. "It's no. use ? no use!" a voice in her mind kept crying. "They may even come to dislike you." There were two others? Fred, sev en, and Alice, the baby. She kissed the baby, but shyness withheld her from caressing the two impregnable little strangers who very plainly did not wish to be caressed. -A'.i her patient life she had longed for domesticity and little ones, but for years perverse necessity had kept her in the achoolhouse of a middle West town. Some time after the sister's wed ding she met Jim Carson, a widower, and 'after a brief but sincere wooing he brought her East as his bride ? a girl no longer, but full of the inno cence and Illusions of youth. The train Bhe must take left at two. She placed the note in the center of the round table, and entered the bed room ? her bedroom and Jim's. Carefully she took her clothes from the closet and piled them on the bod. They were new, neat things that were her trousseau. In opening the top bureau drawer, a small package and a sealed envelope met her gaze. Both were addressed In yery round, precise letters to "Mrs. Margaret Carson." The writing was vaguely familiar. She tore open the letter first. It read: Dear M*fa. Careon: I take my pen in hand to tell you that I am going to run -away today. If my brother, Frederick Caraon, will go, I will take him, too. You can keep the baby because you love her, I know you do, be cause you klas her and call her my little darling. Here Is your berthday presunt. I sowed on It every day after school so I could get It done by May 12th (twelfth), but It is not done yet. If you will kindly Imbroidery the big green leef It will be done. I am sorry you did not like for me to call you mother. Res peck fully, Lila Carson, P. S. ? I know you won't care because you don't love me. You never kissed me good-night in your life. "Mrs. Margaret Carson" drew a long breath, then almost reverently untied the package. A large cushion-top, embroidered in bright red and green, unrolled to view. There must have been hundreds and hundreds of the crude little stitches, and the goods had puckered woefully; but to the recipient it was a glorious thing. And then, because she was a woman, she cried. , >'*> ? Soon small feet came pattering through the house, and In a minute Fred stood In the doorway. "Kin I have a doughnut?" ho asked. "Yes, dear, yes. Did your sister come home with you?" she queried eagerly. "Yes'm. She's out In the wood shed. She wants me to run away with her, but I won't," jsald Fred vlr tuously. "Don't tell her I told." In the woodshed she found her hid ing behind a box. A bit of the blue chocked dress had betrayed her. Si lently the little mother raised and folded her In her arms. She kissed the flushed face several times. o "My dear, dear little girl, you will not run away from mother now. Won't you believe I love you?" The tone carried conviction. v Ltlla glanced up shyly. "I thought sure you didn't And then you said you ? you thought I wa? too familiar, or something, because I called you mother." The mother gave a wabbly little laugh. '1 said formal, dear; but that only meant I would rather be called mam ma. I like It better. Now I am going to tire my babies their loach," she paused, "after I have ton ap a vary foolish letter I wrote today." rowiim i JlJtfansT)rmk~ J\(Oomans Drink Gjvertj bodus Drink "V/igoroysly good ? and keenly delicious.
