Soda Waters Typhoid Fever. The "Soda Fountain" this month prints a readable article from Lvman E. Cooley, on the recent discovery that lemon juice destroys typhoid fevar ijeruis. Mr. Cooley is one of the best informal men in the world on sanitary science. It was Mr. Cooley who conceivea ana brought about the construction of the Chrcago drainage channel the greatest sanitary work ever executed. Mr. Cooley has been an observant student of the subject of germs and germicides both in North and South America, and what he says is of weight and value. The reader of this journal are fortunate in having presented to thern articles from writers who are at tbe fountain head of learning in the subjects discussed. . The world is astounded by tie announcement that lemon juice introduced into bacillus laden water at once kills the bacilli. This an nouncement is surprising not alone from the fact that the lemon juice acts as a germicide, but because the fact was not known before. An article from a Chicago daily paper printed in this issue explains the nature of the discovery. The Soda Fountain learns that the Chicago Health Department is now engaged in testing all the fruit acids that are in common use especially those used at the soda fountains. Already many of these have been found to be germicides of the most efficient cnaracter. For example, it has been found that one per cent of common grape juice will kill all the germs in a body of water. This proportion of grape juice is not discoverable by sight, taste or smell when introduced in ihe water.' Other native fruit acids are almost equally potent. There will soon be announcement of these discoveries by the health depart ment of Chicago. These discoveries will manifestly increase the pop ularity of the fountain as a "health resort." While the existence ot germs may continue in beer and other saloon beverages, most soda fountain drinks can be accounted free from them. Try tHe pure fruit Juice syrups at our fountain. Harry E.

Once more we would call atten tion to the musical and literary treat awaiting all who go to the opera house this evening. Miss Carter, of Salem, is one of the best elocutionists in the northwest, and Mr, Gesner is one of Oregon's fav orite violinists.

Fenton, of Dallas, was in the city Wednesday atternoon. fie is secretary of the new Polk County Wool Growers Association, of which J. II. Hawley, of Monmouth, is president, an.l which is being conducted along lines Bimilar to that of the Polk County Mohair Association. Mr. Fenton predictB that the new association will be able to raise a pool of 150,000 pounds, and they expect to sell this great amount at a figure con siderable in advance of the price paid for smaller lots. He is very desirous for all growers in this vicinity to get together . and pool their wool so it can be delivered here at Independence. He further more extends an urgent invitation for all wool growers to attend the meeting to be held in Dallas, Sat urday, May ICth. Several erron eous impressions are out in regard to the intent of the organization and and it is desired to have the organization placed in its proper light. utiTs. ltoth Moore's barber shop.
