2 f — ' COLUMBIA CHURCH CENSUS TO BE TAKEN Ministers Will Visit Every Home in Borongh to Encourage In creased Membership Special to The Telegraph Columbia, Pa., Jan. 12.—The minis terial association of this piaco met to-day and mapped out a plan for making a complete church census of the borough, which will be used by . the various pastors as a guide for future evangelistic work. A compre hensive plan has been outlined which contemplates at least one visit by a pastor to every home in the town. The task is a stupendous one, consid ering the few ministers and the size of the population, and will involve the sacrifice of time on the part of those who have entered into the project. For weeks past the pastors of the different churches have been record ing the names and listing the homes of all their members and these have been compared and compiled. All homes not found on these lists will be visited and the whole of the town has been divided into districts with a pastor in charge of each. These, with visits to the homes of their own members, will enable the ministers to announce that every home within the limits of the borough will have had at least one visit from a pastor. All will be Invited to attend services in the churches and they will be given a hearty welcome at all services.

The usual cup of coffee contains about 2'/2 GimL If/ / / grains of caffeine, a drug which often produces X / j aches, ails and discomfort; but the habit can A 1 f jf be quickly by using well-made i One of the most pleasing features o£ this f change from coffee to Postum is the total ab- f > sence of a sense of something missed. But more important is that "good all over" rfi feeling of returning health; and it's the finest ftO/ trade possible to quit coffee and get well. Postum, made of prime wheat and a small per cent of New Orleans molasses, is a pure 'food-drink. It is wholesome and nourishing; and has a delicious snappy flavour resembling that of Old Gov t Java, but is entirely free from the coffee drug, caffeine. Anyone can make a stand for the old fashioned fun that comes with health and the power to "do things." Suppose you try it! "There's a Reason" for POSTUM Postum now comes in two forms: Regular Postom— must be boiled 15 to 20 minutes. Instant Postom —is a soluble powder. A scant teaspoonful stirred in a cup of hot water dissolves instantly. The convenience of Instant Postum is apparent. But, when prepared according to direc tions, both kinds are exactly the same. The cost per cup is about equal. —Grocers everywhere sell both kinds. MONDAY EVENING^ I Burgesses of Towns in I [Central Pennsylvania J McC. J.

Those HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH This Dealer Broke All Precedents For CUBAN BABIES There's a druggist who prides himself in holding the patronage of a particular class of smokers. He would never sell any cigars at less than five cents. We introduced Cuban Babies to him. On his own judgment of quality he bought a thousand and introduced them to his trade. In less than two weeks he sent in a repeat order. "My Costomers are more than pleased with them" is the way he put it. And they are still smoking them for repeat orders come in frequently. We know the quality of Cuban Babies is such that they will appeal to the majority of discriminating smokers, just as they did with the druggist's trade. That's why we're spend ing money to bring Cuban Babies before the smoking public.

CHICKENS ID MEAT STOLEN BY THIEVES People of Penbrook and Surround ing Country Have Suffered Heavy Losses Recently Penbrook, Pa., Jan. 12. —Since the first of the year more than 300 chick ens have been stolen from residents of this town, Progress, Hainton and the surrounding country, alt of the work being done, it is thought, by two men, who were seen last week by Mrs. Lehman when her coop was robbed early in the morning and sixty-five choice fowls taken. j Before the holidays frequent losses were reported, principally from Pro gress and the section near by. One woman, Mrs. Longnecker, had all of her fowls taken, while another woman next door had all but two of her flock carried off. On Saturday morning three hogs which had been butchered on Friday afternoon by Mr. Stober, a farmer re siding at Twenty-first' and Main streets, were stolen, the thieves taking all of the meat, which had been placed in an outhouse by the farmer. To make the job more complete they carried away the lard which had been rendered from the hogs. In the past two weeks actual count shows that more than 200 fowls have disappeared from coops in and about 1 town. Among the heaviest ioosers are: George Lehman, of Hainton, G5; , I.uther Mocker, Paxtonla, 23; Daniel ' Clay. Shoops Church, 35; Roy Cassel, I Paxtonia, 23; Samuel Swartz, Shoops; Church,; George Evans, Shoops! Church, 15. Residents of this town ! have lost many of their chickens, but l in each case the number taken was ! small. Other petty robberies have been i committed and in the past week sev- ! eral houses were entered, three of I these in Main street. No clue has been ' left by the robbers, but it is thought' that it is the work of two men, and that they have a wagon to help them i carry off their booty. Plans are being made by several of 1 •lie farmers to set traps to catch the robbers in case they return for a sec ond visit and in the meantime a close watch is being kept by the men on the markets and stores of Harrisburg.
