JOSEPH 11* LOSES
HIS LIFE Oil DIOE
Climbs Electric Light Pole and
Grasps Highly Charged
Wire
Special to The Telegraph
Sunbury, Pa.. April 9.—Refusing to
be dared cost Joseph Shay, 3D years
old and single, of Howard, Pa., his
life at Mliton. Shay, with three
friends, was walking close to the high
tension line of tho Northumberland
County Gas and Electric Company,
there. A companion dared any of the
four to go up the pole, as it was tall
and difficult to climb. Shay, an ex
pert rigger, laughed and said, "Tou
can't dare me." and went hand over
hand with cat-like agility to the top.
Evidently not knowing that the line
carried 16.500 volts of electricity, he
grasped it. There was a streak of
blue tiame shot out at the point of
contact and the next moment the body
■went hurtling to the ground, thirty
five feet below. A doctor said his
reek was broken in the fall, but that
death was undoubtedly due to electric
ehock.

Coffee Drinkers,
And think a minute!
Some persons seem able, for a time at least, to get along with coffee, but
contains a subtle, habit-forming drug, caffeine, which sooner or later is pretty
sure to rob one of health and comfort.
If you know coffee don t harm you—-if you feel prime and fit under its con
tinued use, well and good—stick to it.
But— if you are sometimes a bit "off color," and irritable nerves, disturbed
heart action, biliousness, headache, or symptoms of liver or kidney trouble make
you wonder what's the matter —
Better find out what coffee has to do with it.
Evidently some people are learning the truth about coffee—listen-
During 1913 the sales of coffee in this country
decreased over one hundred million pounds.
A mighty army of former coffee drinkers now use
POSTUM
and enjoy freedom from their old coffee aches and pains.
Postum, made of whole wheat and a bit of molasses, is a delicious table
beverage absolutely free from the coffee drugs, caffeine and tannin.
If you are interested in bettering yourself— think it over!
Postum now comes in two forms.
Regular Postum—must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum—a soluble powder, requires no boiling. 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.
