What's in the Cup?
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.

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.

PRETTY SONG WITH
AN ODD LOVE STORY
A Girl's Heart and a lx»ve 1/elter
Hidden Twlxt the lJnes
Among the latest popular songs that
have just reached Harrisburg is an odd
love afTair bearing the simple title of
"My Little Girl." The tune is said to
be remarkably catchy. Here is a por
tion of the chorns clipped from a copy
of the music Ju»t received:
MY LITTLE GIRL
Mv lit-tie girl... you know I lore you,..
And I long (of yon each dayT'. rfy lit-tit firlT
.. I'm dreammgof you, Tho'you're minr milw a •
■My Iwe the lamT' do«-n in the wild*
Cavrrigfct IfU Vnri«it Cw>
The song tells of a country lad who
writes his sweetheart a letter In which
he composes a song expressing his love
and promising her a wedding ring if
the song proves a "hit." The thing is
full of pretty tunes and odd harmonies
and quite easy to sing, being written
in only one octave range.
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. A bill for $425,000 more is
pending. An Item of $3,500 for ex
penses of the suburban metropolitan
planning commission also appears in
the new bill.

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.
