ITS IDENTITY IS ESTABLISHED Search Had Long Itcen Occupy, lug the Attention of Oriental. Mn, but Prof. Hank lla Made the Find. Chicago, July 19. Udnunkl, the an cient Adab, perhaps the oldest city In the world, haa been discovered by the "University of Chicago'! excavating ex pedition In Babylonia. This city haa for many year been the object of search by Orientalists. It was mentioned In the code of Ha murabl, an early king of Babylonia, which document was translated recent ly by Professor Robert P. Harper, di rector of the expedition. He has just received the news here In a cablegram from Professor E. J. Banks, field direc tor of the expedition, who since leaving this country last winter for Bismya, In Babylonia, has announced many Im portant discoveries. The uncovering of ancient Adab Is one of the most Im portant archecJoglcal achievements of recent years. Dr. Banks informed Prof. Harper that he had found bricks bearing the syllables Un-Nun-Kl at the lowest level of the ruins. He is certain that these bricks identify the city of Adab. With a force of 120 men he excavated the ruins at Bismya and found the remains of four temples, built one above the other, which he named ac cording to the kings who built them. The dates became earlier until finally the bricks identifying Undunkl were found. Among the other articles which Dr. Banks found are marble statues, onyx and sandstone lamps and many bronze objects. PITTSBURG PHIL VERY ILL. Noted Plunger Has Consumption and Can Not Recover. New - York. July 19. George E. Smith, popularly known among horse men as "Pittsburg Phil," Is reported. according to the American, to be serl ously 111 from lung trouble. He Is being treated near Saranac lake. In the Adirondack mountains and but little hope Is felt for his recovery. Smith accumulated a large fortune In his turf venture.8 but was warned sometime ago that repressions of his emotions while witnessing races upon which he staked large sums was de stroying his health and he practically retired. RELISH SOAPSUDS DRINK. People Who Enjoy Peculiar Beverage Dont Know What It Is. A crowd of fashionably dressed men, women and children, four or five deep, stood before the elaborate bar or a soda fountain in one of New York's finest drug stores on one of the hot test days last week, waiting Impatient ly for the dispensers to serve them with foaming tumblers of ice cream soda. A physician who had Just en tered the store remarked to a reporter for the Commercial: "Just look at those foolish people drinking soapsuds. You smile! You don't believe it. Well, that's Just what it is soapsuds, merely sweeten ed carbonated soapsuds.' Of course everybody has noticed the resemblance of soda water foam to soapsuds, but the general impression is that the foam is produced entirely by the action of the carbonic acid gas with which the water Is charged.. Ac-: cording to the word of this reputable physician, the popular belief Is er roneous. "Customers want the foam, because It looks nice and they Imagine it adds piquancy to the flavor and makes the drink more effectual In quenching the thirst,' he resumed. "Of course the addition of foam Increases the profits of the seller of the drink. In order to increase the amount of foam some druggists use a formula composed of four ounces each of qulllaja alcohol and glycerine, and eight ounces of water. This is made into a tincture and from two to five drams of it Is added to a gallon of syrup. The quil luja and glycerine form a soap which is diluted by the water and alcohol. "The two active principles of soap bark, qulllalac and sapotoxln, are vio lent local Irritants, and In sufficient quantity are poisons. Some soda dis pensers will not use soap bark on this account, but others say that there Is no danger in its use because such an Infinitesimal amount finds its way into """ """""" '. y - ; - t - ' . f : I : . - - ; .

Still the fact remains that the foam on soda water dispensed In many of the drug stores throughout the United States Is composed largely of soap suds. It is not necessary to use soap bark to produce foam. The same effect can be produced by the use of egg-white, gum Arabic, Irish mass and gelatin. At almost every soda fountain some Ingredient is used to Increase the amount of foam. Two ounces of gum Arabic dissolved In an equal quanti ty of water will produce a satisfactory foam if added to a gallon of syrup. One ounce of egg-white will produce as good or even a better effect, but syrup to which egg-white Is added will not keep more than two or three days. A half ounce of gelatin added to a gallon of syrup is about the right proportion. "It Is to the Interest of the druggist to sell as much foam as possible, but there Is a good profit In selling the beverage with no other Ingredients than pure fruit syrup and the carbon ated water. The Ice cream used at soda fountains Is almost invariably adulterated and even the unfrozen cream Is cream only In name. So really the most healthful drink of the kind is a glass of the 'solid' soda fla vored with unadulterated fruit Juice. The idea of drinking soapsuds Is re pulsive, to say the least," Difficult for Rockefeller. "You can't do two things success fully at the same time." t "I did."
