Is it incon sistent with Christian conduct to be resentful under such circumstances? I am a sufferer from the depredations of my neighbors’ chickens, and hardly know what to do about it. Farmer. Good Soda is deservedly the most popular of beverages, for nothing is there refreshing, more cooling or inexpensive. Good Soda is not so common as it should be, and the reason is not difficult to learn. Good Soda means knowledge, application to details, and some considerable trouble. Good Soda depends on many things—small details which are often overlooked. Good Soda depends on good ma terials, (the best,) liberal use of best fruits anti flavorings, and a willingness to expend both the proper amount of labor and ener gy to make the drink “just right.” Good Soda depends on cleanli ness clean apparatus, clean sinks, clean towels, clean glasses the kind which insists on the hidden parts being kept clean as well as the parts in sight. Good Soda depends on knowl edge of what constitutes a good drink, and a willingness to fur nish it, no matter how short the profit. Lastly, we think good Soda depends on proper service, and facilities for enjoying it. All of the necessary conditions are met in our store. Make our store your drinking place. HOLT & CATES CO.
