CROWS KILL OPOSSUM
Special to The Telegraph
Dtmcannon. Pa., March 9.—Crows
are coming into their share of censure
by the sportsmen. They are not only
killing partridge and rabbits, but
opossums are also their prey, as a
half dozen or more bounced down on
one In a field in Reed township and
picked it to death one day during the
past week.
Overwhelming Verdict
A few months ago, a man in no way conn.cted with the making of Postum or the
marketing ol cotfee, wrote to quite a numb:r of physicians all over the country asking
unbia ed testimony in the case ot Postum vs. Coffee.
The following excerpts fiom h ir letters constitute an overwhelming verdict
In Favor of Postum
"I have discarded coffee altogether in
my family, and instead use Postum
which we find makes a rich, delicious
drink, without any of the deleterious
effects attendant on the continuous use
oi coffee."
"Our family have been users of Pos
tum for a long time. VVe were very
liberal coffee drinkers, but were con
scious that coffee was harming us—our
nervous system, digestion* and heart
action so we quit the coffee and be
gan using Postum. Now we relish it
far more than we did coffee, and are
all relieved of the old coffee troubles.
As a physician I have induced several
families to quit coffee and use Postum."
"Postum when it is desirable to
leave off coffee on account of over-
Stimulation or gastric disturbances."
• "Postum has been used in my fam
ily nearly ever since it was placed on
the market, and I recommend it to my
patients. It is a nourishing drink. A
great many families are giving their
children Postum in place of coffee with
best of results."
In the light of such testimony it would seem the part of wisdom to stop coffee and use Postum.
Postum is a genuine food-drink, made of whole wheat and a small per cent, of molasses. Contains the
nutritious values of the grain, but is pure and absolutely free from the coffee drug, caffeine, or any other
harmful substance.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum—must be well boiled to bring out its fine flavor. 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum—a soluble form. A teaspoonful stirred in a cup of hot water—with sugar and cream added—makes a
delightful beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.
"There's a Reason" for POSTUM
—sold by grocers everywhere.

"For years I have been using Postum

Motorman, if System Is Adopted,
Will Call Oat Stops
Along Line
Lemoyne, Pa„ March 9.—Mega
phones on street cars with which to
call out the stops is a new step which
I the Valley Railways Company is plan
ning to take In the near future. Al
' though nothing definite has been done
■ as yet, the officials want to make some
| improvements in their cars for the ac
commodation of patrons and electric
I bells on the cross river lines are not
considered adequate. A passenger
; riding on one of the cars at night
jand left to ring the bell for his stop
is at a loss to know at Vvaich time to
| push the button because of the dark
-1 ness. In the city the streets are well
i j lighted and a passenger can see at
what point the car Js. Through the
rural districts, however, conditions are
different. Even the conductor at times
I Is at a loss to know where to pull the
bell rope, the darkness veiling the
houses and objects which during the
day tell him at what point to signal
' the motorman.
Motorman to Use It
If the company does not adopt the
' megaphone system, It will be worked
I I by the motorman. The small end of
a specially constructed megaphone
' will reach to a point just in front of
1 the motorman's face, the big end
opening Into the Interior of the car.
The motorman, because of his posi
tion, is the only person on the car
who knows and is able to see the car's
exact location at night and for this
reason the car company believes the
megaphone system would be the most
adequate and that the motorman
would be the proper man to call the
stops, shouting Into the small end of
the megaphone.
"I have used Posttim for the past
eight years in place of coffee. Before
that I was troubled with frequent
bilious headaches due to excessive
use of coffee, and was then advised to
use Postum. Since that time I have
not had a single attack, which effect I
attribute entirely to Postum. I fre
quently recommend it to others who
experience equally gratifying results."
"Hardly a week goes by that I do not
advise some patient with an irritable,
acid stomach and nervous heart to stop
at once the use of all coffee and take up
the use of Postum, and always with
good results."
"I am satisfied that coffee is re
sponsible in a great degree for the pre
mature breakdown of our active men
and women. They suffer from caffeine
poisoning. Of the truth of this there
is not the shadow of a doubt. Our com
mon sense tells us that the daily swal
lowing of caffeine over-stimulating
the heart and brain—will be followed
by nervous depression, and finally by
more or less disastrous results, f be
lieve if peoole in general would use
j Postum as a beveraee in nlace of coffee
and tea their mental and physicial con
dition would be much improved."

WHAT TO DO FOR NIURALGIA
The one great symptom of neuralgia
Is pain; the one great cause is lack of
nutrition for the nerves. In plain lan
guage—starved nerves.
There are two things to do for any
form of neuralgia. Apply heat to the
affected part to soothe the pain, and
feed the nerves by taking a tonic con
taining the elements needed by them.
Heat, as afforded by hot flannel, hot
water bags, etc., lulls the inflamed
nerves into temporary quiet. It does
not cure. Not until the nutrition of
the nerves is restored will the inflam
mation subside.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills furnish to
the blood the needed elements and
the blood conveys them to the nerves.
The only way of getting food or medi
cine to the nerves Is through the
blood. Remember that.
Neuralgia is a general term. It
means inflammation of a nerve. It is
given different names according to the
nerve affected. Sciatica is neuralgia of
the sciatic nerve. Application of heat
will soothe the pain in all forms of
neuralgia and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
will correct the condition that caused it.
Your own druggist sells Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills and tlie Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., will
send you a little book on "Home Treat
ment of Nervous Dlsordors" for the
asking.—Advertisement.
