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.

What
is it?
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.

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.
Cuban Babies Are 100% Quality

Attempts Suicide With
Hatchet Because Store

Special lo The Telegraph
I ebanon, Pa., Jan. 12. —John War
ner, 55 years old, of this city, is dying
at the Good Samaritan Hospital as a
result of an attack on Saturday after
noon on his own life, the most P
sistent and cruel self assault ever re
corded in the city. Warner had a re

to use it, for he laid it asido and fh®"-

head until the skull had been hacked
at several places and the brain began
to ooze through the gaping wounds

wrong, for ed the door of an out
house where his father had hidden
himself and made a rescue, but it was
too late to save the man. The hos
pital physicians say there is not. the
slightest hope of recover?. The elder
Warner conducted a small candy and
irrocerv store and someone told him
that lie would have to close the place
on Sundays, the day of his brisk busi
ness. Although no such orders have
been issued by the authorities War
ner took the rumor seriously and tried
to chop up his head to save himself
from what lie believed to be financial
ruin.

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.
