SOME FACTS:
AUSTIN'S IDEAL
Woro you to choose tho kind of bottled soda to drink, would you
chooso the bottle of soda that was mndo by methods in vogue years
ago or would you choose a bottle of soda that was manufactured In a
thorough, modem equipped factory with all tho latest machinery such
as Automatic filling machine. Itlnscrs and Sanitary soakers and sterll
zor. After thoso cleaning processes the bottles are rinsed under pres
suro from your city mains allowing a nice clean stream of water
passing into each bottlo undor a pressure of thirty-five or forty
pounds always insuring a sanitary package.
Bottled sodas prepared by sonlo manufacturers to start with the
bottles aro dumped into a tank of cold water and wnshed by hand,
nothing aided to kill impurities or to sterillzo tho bottles, after this
washing process they nre filled with so called soda water and go to the
consumer and ofton times nre full of impurltlos. Therefore Is it any
wondor tho public demand better puro food regulation?
Wo havo always prided ourselves In the Quality and clcanlinoss of
our packagos and a great many of you nro personal witnesses of our
growth In tho short tlmo wo havo been with you,
I havo heard of soda water bottlers, since I havo beon In tho bot
tling buslnoss that would try to push poor and dirty and cheap sodas off
on tho chldren. Hut will truthfully and frankly say to tho public that
I never built up my bottling business to tho present standard by stoop
ing to Buch methods. Our growth has been made by quality goods and
a square deal and a boost for the town wo live In and thoso things
I attrlbuto to our success In tho bottling trade.
When you drink a bottlo of Porter's Star Pop whethor it bo night
or day you may rest assured that it has past the rigid inspection
as to quality .and sanitary conditions.
From various sources and for reasons not easily understood, er
roneous and falso statements havo often been mado relative to Mottled
Soda water, for tho apparent purpose of creating a projudlco In tho
public mind against all boverages familiarly known as soft drinks.
To contradict such falso and malicious statements nnd to dom
onstratethat bottled soda water particularly Is the purest, most health
ful and most refreshing of all summer boverages and It is only neces
sary to consider tho following simple truths which nro easily proven
and cannot bo contradicted.
1st Absoluto cleanliness is the first requisite of every successful
bottling shop.
2d. Pure carbonic acid gas In boverages is healthful, refreshing
and tonic in its action upon tho digestive organs.
3d. No llavoring or coloring which is harmful and no deleterious
drugs aro now permitted to bo used In bottled or fountain soda water.
4th. Thoro is abundant medical testimony to prove tho beneficial
inlluenco and refreshing effect of carbonic acid gas upon the appetite
and digestion. Ask your doctor about it.
Tho bottler does not make tho gas, but buys it, purified and
liquified from the largo manufacturers, thus insuring none but tho pur
est and best gas.
Wo wish to thank tho public In general for their loyal support and
your support has contributed to our success and especially do wo thank
tho dealers In getting behind our goods and to help In making them
a success.

Her Cooking

way of cooking.

When Tim saw hor, sweeping grnce
fully through tho offices, her golden
hair falling lightly ovor her sturdy
young shoulders, ho forgot nil about
tho Httlo stenographer. Tho girl was
Madgo Jenkins, dnughtor of Mr. Dud
ley Jenkins, sonlor partner of Jenkins
& Barr.
Tho girl had gono straight to her fa
ther's olllco nnd n few minutes Inter
was scon going out ngnln nt hor fa
ther's sldo apparently to hnvo lunch
with him nt his downtown club.
Somohow tho nlr wns fresher nnd
tho dny was brighter to Tim Austin
becauso of that visit of Madgo Jenkins.
She wns Just In hor toons nt tho tlmo
and Tim, at sixteen, wns boglunlng
his career.
Once It wns two yonrs Inter and
by this tlmo Tim hnd como to regard
tho girl ns his presiding divinity
Madgo had brought her dog to tho
ofllco with hor.
"Would you bo so good could you
Just hold him In lonsh till I como out?"
Then, after ho hnd returned tho dog
to Its pretty owner, nftor ho hnd been
Introduced to hor by Mr. Jenkins him
self, ho renllzcd for tho ilrst tlmo tho
brench that lny between thorn. What
must bo hor contempt for him? Tho
fact that ho was no longer olllco boy,
that ho had obtalnod rapid promotion
nnd hnd oven boon tnken out to lunch
at tho club by tho "boss" soomod to
inako no dlfforonco. Then caruo tho
day when Mr. Jenkins asked him to
havo dlnnor with him at his homo.
As thoy wore tnklng tho olovntor it
wns nkln to a blow to havo Mr. Jon
kins say: "My daughter will bo dls.
appointed not to bo at homo. But It
Is tho night of Bomo sort of school
festivity."
Then came n tlmo when Jenkins and
Barr parted company, and for busi
ness roasons Tim wns rotnlnod by Barr
instead of Jenkins. All that happened
before Tim was two and twenty.
Now, with anyone but Tim it might
hnvo beon simply a pnsslng memory
that Httlo oxporlonco with tho gold-on-hnlrod
Madgo. But to Tim It wns
much moro thnn that. It wns oven
onough to account for tho fact that ho
never took moro than n very passing
interest in tho girls ho mot. At twenty-six
or seven, when tho sign ovor his
ofllco door read "Barr & Austin," ho
hnd enrned for himself tho roputntlon
of being Immuno afo fnr as pretty girls
woro concerned.

C. R. MOREY, Manager.
"Is this Mr. Barr?" Sho, tho ono
who asked this question, wns a quiet
ly dressed littlo porson who hnd beon
ushered into Tim Austin's prosenco by
his olllco boy as a "young lady looking
for a job." Austin was Bomowhat an
noyed by tho intrusion, but as a matter
of fact, ho needed a now typist and
mndo a rule always to interview por.
Bonally thoso whoso names went down
on his pay roll. This time, however,
Tim scarcely looked up at tho young
womnn. Something In her general ap
pearance and in tho tono of hor voice
reassured him that sho would bo a
satisfactory employoo."
For a week or so Tim saw Httlo of
tho now typist. Onco or twice ho
heard Barr say that sho was pretty,
but tho idea of prottlness in any em
ployeo interested Tim not nt all. If
any interest did como to him with re
gard to tho now typist it was becauso
sho apparently wanted to avoid him,
becauso sho found an excuse always
to leavo any room ho happened to
enter.
It was in March when tho big snow
storm of tho winter occurred that
yonr, and Tim Austin was not espe
cially surprised that out of tho four or
llvo members of tho cntlro establish
ment who ventured out that day nnd
arrived at work on time, tho now
typist was ono. Needless to say, Tim
was also on tlmo. His own sten
ographer had not arrived and it oc
curred to him that tho now typist
might bo ablo to take his dictation.
Hurriedly ho mado his way into tho
large, light room whoro sho did hor
work. When ho opened tho door slto
gavo a littlo cry of alarm. Sho wns
standing boforo tho radiator somowhat
tho worst for hor encounter with tho
storm. Sho had spread out hor coat
to dry and wns holding her hands to
tho heat. But what Tim noticed and
what hnd caused tho cry of alarm was
that tho now typist's hair was hang
ing, dlshovclod and moistened by tho
snow, ovor her shouldors.
Tim stopped with sudden surprise.
For tho first tlmo ho looked searching-
jy at tno gin. xes, tt reauy was. it
was tho samo hair, thoso woro tho
samo eyes, and that was tho samo
voice. It was actually Madgo Jonktns.
"I havo always been faithful to tho
memory of tho only girl that ever
charmed mo," ho said as soon as ho
Could trust himself to speak. "I sup
pose it Is alwnys that way when a man
really loves, ovon If ho Is only a cal
low ofllco boy at tho tlmo."
"But why did you novor let mo
know?" sho asked, with tho samo
voico that had charmed him so many
years before.
"So long ns you had monoy and posi
tion I novor could havo told you I
loved you," Tim said, "but now it isu't
so very diltlcult. It seoms strange
that I should bo glad of your apparent
misfortune. Perhaps I can do some
thing for your fnthor If ho has failed.
It is a long tlmo slnco I havo heard
of him."
Madgo looked up at him with glow
ing cheoks and sparkling oyos. Thoy
kissed.
