The White Man's Burden People are finding out that a lot of the troubles that go to make up life's burden are caused by Coffee Drinking Coffee contains a drug, caffeine—about 2 1 / 2 grains to the cup. It not only stands to reason, but has been demonstrated scientifically and in practical experience, that this steady drugging is a foe to health and comfort. A great army of people have found freedom from coffee burdens, by changing to POSTUM —a delicious pure food-drink, made from whole wheat and a bit of molasses. No caffeine, no drug, no harmful ingredi ent. Even children drink Postum freely with benefit; they can't do that with coffee. Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum, must be boiled, 15c and 25c pkgs. Instant Postum, a soluble form, made in the cup in stanly, 30c and 50c tins. Grocers everywhere sell both kinds and the cost per cup is about the same. "THere's a Reason" for Postum WEDNESDAY EVENING Miss Deeter Elected to New Haven Schools Miss Lile G.

FIRE FIREBUG'S WORKi [Continued From First Page] the front part of the building. De- | spite their efforts the lire kept spread- 1 ing and by the time of the arrival of | the Shamrock. Friendship and Hope ; companies, sent by the Harrisburg de- . partment in response to a call for aid, the whole building was in Haines. j Apartment House Gutted The apartment building was occu-: pied by George Powley with a pool- ; room and barber shop on the base ment floor; by Miles Fox's restaurant, j his apartments, and by M. H. Hart- j man's store rooms on the first floor; by ; W. H. Wolf's apartment and offices: ' Jacob Tlschler, George Khlnehart and Harry Hicks, apartments, and the | Rev. Mr. N'elble's offices on the second floor, and by a great hall, used jointly by the Modern Woodmen of America, Patriotic Order Sons of America, the the Junior and Senior Mechanics and the Maccabees, on the third floor. The bakery had been recently fitted ;up with modern machinery and en gines. Everything In this building was a total loss, the insurance being only a small percentage. In the apartment land storo building the whole interior 1 was gutted out and thousands of dol | lars' worth of merchandise, furniture i and supplies were destroyed, j The fire spread to the home of | Abraham Fritz, about' 100 feet from the Wolf Building, the sparks ignit ! ing the roof. A bucket brigade was | hurriedly organized here and the flames were extinguished. Spend Night on Housetops Other residents within two blocks | of the scene of the fire spent the night lon their house tops pouring water on i the roofs, most of which -were of shin i gle, to prevent the flames from j spreading. Stress in the central nor- I tion of the town were littered with the j furniture taken from the apartments I and from nearby houses when the fire was at its height. The water pressure prevented the local company from making much headway with the flames, but the ar rival of the Friendship engine helped eliminate this trouble. Bucket bri gades in the Wolf and Hartman build ings kept down the flames until the occupants had removed a great part of their furniture. Bank mid Church tn Danger Just opposite the fire is the Pen brook National Bank Building and the Evangelical Church, both of which were threatened by the flames. The homes in Main street within a radius of one block were all burning •jt times and only hard work on the part of their occupants kept the fire Ito one portion of the town. I W. H. Wolf, in estimating his losses, j [said that the total would exceed S3O,- | <>oo. He recently remodeled the apart- I ment building at a cost of more than | SIO,OOO. The Wolf building was the largest in the town and the hwst known in this section of the county. The Hartman store was the largest in the town and was stocked with several thousands of dollars' worth of groceries and merchandise, all of which is a total losss. The property of the different lodges, on the third floor, is lost, as are the effects of the different tenants throughout the building. May Have Been Work of Firebugs During the past two weeks several men have been seen loafing about the stables In the rear of the building, and it is thought that the fire was started by these men. The electric lights I throughout the town were turned off | and the confusion made by the lack | of light made conditions worse for the j residents. Shortly before 4 o'xlock this morn ing the firemen succeeded in getting the fire under control after the Wolf building had been destroyed. One small building near these buildings was burned, but this was the only other loss. Several times spectators were removed from the scene of the building when it was discovered that the walls were in danger of falling. Several of the members of the Pen brook ftre department were overcome by the dense smoke and were ren dered unconscious. They 2 were re vived later and no serious accident has been learned of. Firemen Slake Gallant Fight The fire was the most disastrous in the history of the town. Four years ngro a fire in Twenty-eighth street caused several thousand dollars dam age, but was not nearly so much as this. The local firemen made a gal lant fight to save the building, but were handicapped by insufficient water pressure. Mr. Hartman's loss will amount to several thousand dollars, while Fox's and Powley's will amount to several hundred dollars. In the bakery, where more than SIO,OOO damage was done, Mr. Wolf had recently fitted up the building. Two engines, heating apparatus and the baking machinery were destroyed. More than thirty men employed throughout the building will be forced into idleness by the fire. Burgess M. C. Koohes occupied one of the Wolf apartments until just a few weeks ago. MISS NKIMG'S NEW POSITION Miss Helen Neldig, of the Presby terian Hospital, Philadelphia, has been appointed night supervisor at the Har risburg Hospital to succeed Miss Edna Averill, who resigned to take up pri vate nursing. Miss Neldig was grad uated from the Philadelphia Hospital with the class of 1914 and began her new duties last night. RETURN FROM EASTERN SHORE Mrs. Oliver B. Simmons and her sister, Miss Clara V.

TIIIB advan tage la Increased If the heel be covered with rubber and this is specially to be recommended if one Is forced to walk much on a tiled or stone floor. Shoes for Fiat-Footed People. Much of the discomfort and suffering that comes from displaced arches can be overcome with proper footwear. If the arch has simply fallen, relief can be h id by wearing what ore termed arch sup porters, or shoes made with a reinforced sole to hold up the arch. In most cases of this trouble, however, there is a dis placement of the muscles and the foot Is so far thrown out of the normal that spe cial treatment and a shoe made on most careful measurements Is necessary. Treatment under the advice of a physi cian specializing in orthopedics generally begins with strapping the foot with strong adhesive plaster, arranged so as to raise the inner side of the foot and sup port the arch. The hollow formed in this way Is filled In with a steel support care fully made from a plaster cast of the foot, held In the position one wishes it to retain. The shoe Is then made from careful measurements, conforming exactly to the shape of the foot. In addition to this a set of excellent foot exercises (which we will take up later) is recom mended; the bodily health should also be built up. By following such treatment some very bad cases of fallen arches have been cured In six months time, no fur ther mechanical support being necessary. Although we throw the greatest possi ble burden on the feet we give them little general exercise. Cramped, as they are all day In improper footwear, it is a won der that many' of the muscles do not grow completely atrophied from lack of use. Many of the physicians practicing ortho pedics recommend foot exercises, both to correct fallen arches and weak ankles and to preserve the feet in healthful condition. The following exercises, prac ticed for ten minutes night and morning have remedied many cases of fallen and displaced muscles and simply to keep the feet In good condition should be done sev eral times a week following the foot bath. Directions for Foot Gymnastics. Begin by walking about the room with the feet bare and turning the toes In. the position generally described as "pigeon toed." This exercises the Inner muscles of the arch, the first to fall away. Follow this by- Ex. A—Place the feet parallel with the toes slightly Inwards, resting tile weight of the body on the heels. Now bend the toes hack and forth, lifting them from the floor and back. Ex. B—Place the feet parallel, he*>ls slightly off the floor, resting the weight on the toes. In this position walk slowly about the room for several minutes. Ex. C—Turn the toes slightly in. lift the heels, rising on the toes as high as you can while keeping your balance. Now Mrs. M.

But like all these exercises, the more difficult they are to do, the more tho patient needs them. Wear Proper Shoes. Perhaps you haven't fallen arches, but you are forced to stand a good deal and your feet ache and get tired easily. Are you sure you are wearing proper foot wear? I am afraid that the habit of wear ing proper foot apparel will only become general when women have changed their idea of what a shoe should be. The shoe from the point of view of good health should not be an ornamental addition to ■ the toilet, but a covering and protection to those hard-worked members of our body, the feet. It should therefore cor i respond exactly to the shape of the foot i which means that it should be straight along the inner side, to conform to the line of the big toe, and on the other side should have a wide outward sweep, »o as not to compress the toes. This of course eliminate the pointed toe and Is quite unlike any modern shoe, If we ejccept the sandals that some women are adopting for home wear. A laced shoe gives a better support to the ankles than a buttoned shoe: what Is i called an Oxford, fastening across the In • step holds the foot In better position than i do the pumps so long popular, but the f average shoe Is sadly lacking as a pro r tectlon to the foot. Heels, unnecessary In childhood, be i come of more Importance later, the ob t jeet of them being to assist walking by a Inclining the body somewhat forwards, i The high heel Is Inclined to throw the body too much forward and out of the a proper equilibrium and It Is apt to be t too narrow to give proper rest. The help er ful heel is broad and low. 5
