The flavour may be agreeable, but appetite isn't the only thing to be considered. The average cup of coffee contains about 2y 2 grains of caffeine, a powerful drug which is a fre quent cause of indigestion, constipation, nervous ness, heart trouble and other ills. Some persons are strong enough to use coffee for a time without apparent harm, but repeated doses of its subtle, cumulative drug, caffeine, sooner or later affects even the strong man or woman. Any coffee drinker will benefit from a change to INSTANT POSTUM This pure food-drink has a snappy tang, very * like the Old Gov't Javas, but it contains no caffeine, nor any other harmful ingredient. It is made of selected wheat, a little wholesome molasses and is pure, invigorating and delicious. And Instant Postum is so easy to make. Put a level teaspoonful in a cup, add hot water, and sugar and cream to taste. The convenience of Instant Postum is seen at a glance. Sold in 30c and 50c tins. Some prefer Postum Cereal—the original form —which must be well boiled, 15c and 25c pkgs. Grocers sell both kinds, the flavor is equally delicious and the cost per cup is about the same. "There's a Reason" For POSTUM MONDAY EVENING, SCHOOL BILLS ON FAIR WAY NOW Not Many Amendments to the Code Have Gotten by the Gov ernor Up to This Date Three of the twenty bijls affecting educational interests pending to-day are in the Governor's hands. Probably a dozen more are in committees and not likely to pet very far The gen eral appropriation bill, which carries the funds for administration of the educational system of th# state and $16,000,000 for schools, is on the third reading calendar in the House. The educational bills in the Gov ernor's hands include those providing for education of blind children under direction of the State Board of Edu cation. regulating transfer of school districts from one class to anothei when annexation takes place and re lating to appeals of auditors in all but first class districts. All of the other House educational bills reported out ar* in the Senate except that appropriating $425,300 for vocational education and $8,300 for education of blind children. One of the House bills in the Senate appro priates $260,000 to maintain normal schools and another carries SIOO,OOO for purchase of normal schools not now wholly owned by the State. Of the eight Senate educational bills only two are in committee, the others being on the calendar. One of them makes incompatible the offices of coun cilman and school director and an- I other provides for co-operation of the school authorities with the Depart ment of l<abor and Industry in the proposed employment agencies.

HEAVY CUTTING ■ ESSENTIAL Appropriations Committeemen Re duced Items in Many of the Departmental Requests Reprinted copies of the general ap propriation bills which will be laid be fore the House for final action to-night show that heavy cuts were made by the committee to make it fit the reve nue. The bill carries some new items, but the highway construction, main tenance. state aid and township aid items and the tuberculosis sanatoria and dispensaries expenses are in sepa rate bills. One of the interesting items is in the. Auditor General's list, where there ap peal's $35,000 for extra clerk hire and for expenses in carrying out recom mendations of the Economy and Effi ciency Commission. It is believed at the Capitol that some investigation will be undertaken after the Legis lature adjourns by the Governor and other officials with a view to making some of the recommendations effective. Items Transferred The bill contains a number of in creases for departments, including some provided by legislation, such as that reorganizing the Attorney Gen eral's Department and providing for additional forces for the Department of I,abor and Industry. A number of items formerly carried in the miscel laneous list are transferred to depart ments, among them 5173.000 for ad vertising constitutional amendments, which is placed under control of the Secretary of the Commonwealth with a proviso that some of It shall be available for paying claims for adver tising that may be passed by the Board of Public Accounts, to which the Gov ernor suggested those not satisfied should apply. Some of the Auditor General's items are also from the mis cellaneous list, such as the $25,000 Item for escheat expenses, which was SIOO,OOO last session, and the cost of suits against delinquent corportlons, which is $30,000, against $35,000 last time. In the Governor's department the clerk hire item is $33,760, against $26,200 last time, contingent expenses $7,500, against $-4,000, and traveling and incidental expenses, including au tomobile. which is $25,000, against $17,500 two years ago. Uniform primary cost is cut from $980,000 SSOO.OUO. but if pending legis lation passes it will not be required. Hestore Some Items The committee has restored to the j Internal Affairs Department some of ! the cuts made by Tener. The S4OO for I the clerk to the Board of Public Prop erty is back again and clerks and em ployes are allowed $75,400, against $55,000 which was allowed by Tener. The contingent expenses, cut to $3,000 two years ago. are put at $4,500, while the item for statistics, etc., cut down to $5,000 by Tener. is back at SIO,OOO. The Bureau of Railways, which was allowed SI,OOO in the fina! cut in ISI3. is put in at $3,000. Four thousand was asked this year. The item for boun dary line survey, which was cut out entirely two years ago, appears for ' $2,000, a reduction from $3,000 asked. The provision that none of the con tingent fund of the Attorney General's Department may be used to defray ex penses of the Catiin commission is cut out. but it is not considered likely that Francis Shuni; Brown would allow any of it to go that way anyhow. The Forestry Department, which asked a quarter of a million for new forest reserves, is given sso,ofio and the item for $175,000 for forest rang ers is eliminated, provision for same being elsewhere in the list. The Board of Public Accounts appears with $7,000. It did not have anything two years ago. It is to have a clerk, stenographer and messenger. Xo pro vision is made for expenses of the i proposed Agricultural Commission. Sonic of tl'.e Cuts Fifty thousand dollars is cut off the I State Livestock Sanitary Boards re quests for cost of fichting rabies, dis- ! tribution of tuberculin, etc., and inter state cattle inspection. Over $625,000 i has already been given it for fodt and I mouth disease cost. An allowance of I $25,000 is made for the deficiency in the cost of fighting forest fires, but the item for future tire cost Is reduced from $150,000 to $60,000. Sixty-five thousand dollars is allowed for fish hatcheries, requests for $115,000 hav ing to be cut because of revenue. The Game Commission disappears from the general hill, owing to its funds coming from hunters' licenses A Superior Court item has been jumped from $21,000 to $35,000 and provision Inserted to "reimburse the judges of said court for expenses in curred in discharge of their duties " The extra million for schools is to be explicitly devoted to vocational edu cation.

Ci et Your rly zwatteT at Bowman 1, Free * jA A A A A A A PUCE IN THE SUN HIGHLY DESIRABLE Dr. Dixon Tells What It Means to the Average Person's Health and Cheerfulness Sunlight is declared by State Com missioner of Health Samuel G. Dixon to be as essential for people's mental welfare as for their health in his weekly talk on health and hygiene. The commissioner says it has been established that there are more sui cides in bad weather than when the sunlight is shining. Dr. Dixon says: For the \ast majority of plants sun | Is an absolute necessity. They cannot j grow and thrive without it. It is of; almost equal importance to human be- j ings though comparatively lew peoplei recognize the fact. When we walk into a house where the sun streams through the windows and brightens everything, instinctively we sav. 'what a cheerful place." The stimulating effects of sunshine are! difficult to estimate hut they are nevertheless a potent factor in main taining our physical and mental health. It has been said that suicides are more prevalent following a period of rainy weather and figures have been advanced to show that they are more common among people who have rooms with a northern exposure lack ing sunlight. We all know ho* one's spirits ar» depressed by * succealon of riiny day* ! hut we lack a full appreciation of the (value of sunlight'in our homes. The sprms of tuberculosis for exam ■, pie will not survive for any length of i time if exposed to the sun's rays. It is a mistake to so protect our win dows with shutters or curtains as to j make it impossible to secure the maxi mum of sunlight. This is especially true in the Fall and winter when the days are short, but at all seasons of 'the year sunlight is invigorating and j stimulating and almost as much a ne cessity as fresh air. , The planting of trees so close to ! houses that they shut off the sun's j rays is a mistake fro ma health stand point. ! Sun baths are beneficial in stimulat ing the functions of the skin, some times to a degree which enables it to ! resist minor ailments.
