In the fountain is located not only, the syrup containers, but the coil of pipe through which the water is conveyed to be cooled. The ice is piled lonely on the coil and against the containers, and as It is always common bog ice it is filled with dangerous pathogenic germs. That it should not impart these germs to the syrup in the open containers it would be folly to expect. There is now, however, a strong tendency to sanitary reform xu. ..,ti nf water annlfances. A new style of fountain- is made which abolishes the stationary and invisible syrup container is made which abolishes the stationary and invisible syrup container J - .nnnmmodation of the and restores the syrup to the old-fashioned Jl'- evening9 ana restores me syrup i-u iuc u-...-.'--j; - - -which arsTstooThhTTrockets along the fro n t of the fountain and from y which the syrup is pourea in run view m iue uubl.uc. ...v., . e So far as soda water syi ups are concerned they are almost uni- ii.. i Tr. .n l.nt. the best daces they contain no fruic J yerBHiijr imp"'"' " J ,. i uu u - juices, but are mere imitations, lneaoua waier u - ments do a large business in imitatioD essences, composed entirely of different ethers and other drugs. There is no shame or secrecy about this traffic, but on the other hand respectable druggists insist that these ether combinations are more healthful than real fruit syrups Even such eminent chemists as Professor Walter S. Haines admit that the ethers are no more harmful when artificial tnan when found in the fruits. A greater danger grows out of the use of preservatives in soda water syrups. These syrups are almost universally made by the dealer out of concentrated syrups of all flavors, made and sold by the wholesale, by the supplies establishments. All that is needed to make them ready for use is to mix them with the requisite quantity of simple syrup. This plan obviates to a great extent the danger of fermentation, and still it is admitted by the most experienced soda water men that there is no soda water syrup that does not contai i a preservative. Wagoner's fountain is the new kind. All syrups kept la bottles so there is no danger of any but pure syrups. Remember, we use only pure fruit syrups of the very best makes. You can't be too eareful in drinking soda. Claret Phosphate New DrinK. Harry E. Wagoner, Main Street, TmTTDT7MrFwrF - - - OREGON. Mr. and Mrs. J. K.
