Look to the Coffee
"In all cases of so-called neurasthenia, the coffee-drink
ing of the patient should be inquired into. What has
been said about coffee also holds good in regard to tea,"
says a physician of note.
More and more, people are coming to know that the coffee and tea habits
are responsible for a large percentage of those nervous disorders classed under
the head of "neurasthenia," or nervous prostration.
Roth coffee and tea contain the drug, caffeine, a powerful irritant of the
nerves. They also contain tannin—an astringent—which acts most unfavorably
upon the intestinal walls. Headache, "nerves," insomnia, biliousness—the»e
are some of the signs of caffeine poisoning.
Many coffee and tea drinkers are learning that the way to health is by
quitting coffee and tea; and for a pleasant, healthful drink, using

Snow Crimps Road Work
For Heavy work Warriors
By dissociated Prrss
New York, March 16. Roads
blocked with snow and a stiff cold
wind did not keep Jess Willard and
Frank Moran from taking their early
runs to-day.
Willard is well satisfied with the
I progress he is making in reducing
I weight and believes thaL by to-morrow
jhe will get below 250 pounds. Jess
' is very cool in all his gymnasium work
I and particularly careful when he has
the gloves on with his sparring part-
I ners. All three of these, by the way,
show signs of hard usage although
I Willard never cuts loose with a full
I blow, but his ponderous weight at
i close quarters has its effect on the
! trio of lighters who let Jess feel the
| full strength of any blows they can
{ land on him.
Moraa'S workouts in the ring are
I more lively as he mixes matters In
I hot fashion with his three men. He
jis looking forward to an additional
opponent for the remainder of the
I time. Big Dan Daly, of Philadelphia,
lis expected at the West Chester camp
j some time to-day and Trainer Lewis
I says that his presence will enable
Moran to work his overhead blows
I effectively.
In both camps the usual gymtiastics,
j bag punching, boxing and wrestling
bouts will be gone through this after
-1 noon.
SPRAYING MUST
BE DONE BY ALL
j This Is the Opinion of State
Officials Who Have Ob
served Conditions
Compulsory spraying is now being
urged through the state because tree j
j owners are met by other less progres- j
I sive persons on each side who make j
no effort to keep their trees in con- J
i dition. In answer to a communication j
| asking whether the Department of j
i Agriculture can compel his neighbor j
I to spray for San Jose scale. Zoologist j
| If. A. Surface says:
i "The nursery inspection law requires !
| that when tree pests are supposed to j
be present, those persons whose prop- j
erty is threatened by them can make i
complaint to the Secretary of Agricul
ture, and it then becomes his duty lo
send a competent man to inspect the
premises of which complaint is made,
and see if dangerous or serious pests
are found thereon. If so, he must tell
the owner what to do to get rid of
them, and must prescribe a certain
length of time within which the work
I must be done. At the expiration of
that period he must again visit the
j premises, and if the treatment has not
been given in accordance with direc-
I tions, it is the duty of the Department
| of Agriculture to do the work, or have
; it done by men whom it must, employ,
i and have the expense for it charged to
the property as a lien in the same
manner as taxes."
Every Pennsylvania fruit grower
who has not examined his peach, plum
and apricot buds should do so at once,
as many have been frozen and the
season's plans may have to be altered.
I Sheldon W. Funk, farm adviser expert
| on fruits, has examined orchards in
j several of the southeastern counties of
! the State and declares that he was
surprised to find what a great percent
age of the buds have been killed. Mr.
Funk says: "All of the apricot buds,
together with some varieties of plum
buds, that I have examined have been
destroyed entirely. In one peach or
chard the buds were all killed, but in
most cases the percentage of frozen
buds runs from 25 to 75 per cent., de
pending upon the varieties, elevation
and general vigor of the trees. This
is, of course, sufficient for a good crop
if no further injury is received.
"In no section that I have examined
did the thermometer drop lower than
four degrees below zero and I had not
expected to find so much damage.
There is a. possibility that the exces
sive rainfall, together with heavy crop
ping last summer, caused the buds to
go into the dormant stage in a weak
ened condition, but I believe that the
greatest part of the damage was pri
marily caused by the extremely warm
spells which we had this winter. The
warm weather undoubtedly started sap
circulation, to a certain extent, which

would cause the buds to freeze at a |
much higher temperature than is or-
ease. This theory is fur
ther strengthened by the fact that
where the buds are not so much ex
posed to the direct rays of the sun
the injury does not appear so great.
"It is time to buy your fertilizers
and your arsenicals for next season, as
the indications are that these materials
will still increase in price. If your
buds are all frozen you will want to
change some of your plans and I would
loose no time in making a careful ex
amination."

Coal Mining
Outlook
Well informed people fear a coal strike of months'
duration. The least that can be expected is a suspen
sion until an agreement is reached.
The mine owners' recent figures show that the 20
per cent increase in wages, demanded by the miners
would add 60c per ton to the cost of mining domestic
sizes of coal.
There is every evidence that many of the miners'
demands will be rejected—the result may be a serious
strike; similar to that of 1902.
The miners say that wages in all other lines are
being increased and as living expenses are higher they
must have a larger income.
I v
It's impossible to say what will happen.
The coal consumer will do well to fortify himself
with an ample supply of coal this month. After April
Ist the supply may be limited.
