Among the everyday habits of life that often up set health is coffee drinking, an ancient and respect able custom, but harmful to many. The average cup of coffee contains about 2 l /2 grains of caffeine, which, gradually accumulating in the system, often causes nervous prostration, heart trouble, mental depression, etc. There's an easy way out of coffee troubles —quit the coffee and use POSTUM This pure food-drink is a simple combination of whole wheat roasted with a little wholesome mo lasses —nothing else. It h£s a snappy, aromatic flavour similar to coffee but is entirely free from the drug, caffeine, or any other injurious substance. There are two forms of Postum. The original Postum Cereal must be boiled, 15c and 25c packages; Instant Postum, soluble in a cup of hot water, 30c and 50c tins. Both have equal flavor, and cost about the same. For those who appreciate the opportunity and power thatsgoes with health "There's a Reason" For POSTUM Send 2c stamp for 5-cup sample of Instant Postum. Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich.

Musser, In asking what the special hotel committee had done, reported that he had examined plans a day or so ago which will give Harrisburg in the next few months a fine hotel but even that will not meet the needs of the city, It being limited as to rooms and other facilities for handling large crowds. When the matter of a new high school came up for discussion Daniel D. Hammelbaugh, secretary of the school board, said that the club had talked long enough and that Its best service could be rendered from this time on by boosting the new school project In public. The following letter was read from M. B. Cowden, president of the Cap ital City Realty Co.: Mr. E. J. Stackpole: Dear Sir:— Herewith we send you a tentative plan entitled "Suggestion for site of proposed HarrlsMurg Hlgfti School." There Is no intention whatever of saying how large the building should be or how much space should be used for any one purpose. The plan is only to show the possibilities of this lo cation. Notwithstanding any claims to the contrary, this site is centrally located, as a glance at the City Map will show. So far as street car service is con cerned, there can be no question about it. It is probable that the more than thirty acres contained In this plot can be purchased for the same amount of money that any one acre of land In the built-up portion of Harrisburg can bo acquired. In this connection we wish to call attention to the Froebel school system for which this location is certainly most admirably adapted. Yours very truly, CAPITAL CITY REALTY CO., (M. B. Cowden, Pres.) No action was taken on the letter. The club received as new members Prof. B. W. Saul, of the Central High School faculty: J. William Bowman and E. K. Frazer, lumberman, of Lemoyne.
