Alcoholic Flavorings at Soda Fountains

A GROWING evil, says an exchange, is the use of alcoholic flavorings at soda-fountains. Under such names as "calisaya," and "creme de menthe," alcoholic liquor is given an innocent appearance. In other cases the forked tongue of the serpent is thrust out boldly in the name of the drink, as "sherry punch," "claret sangaree." The Central W. C. T. U. of Chicago has issued a warning, particularly to young girls, against the peril of these soda-fountain beverages, which create and nourish the appetite for something still worse. Let the same warning be heard in all our towns and cities.
