Not at one large dose, but by little doses repeated regularly does this sub tle, habit-forming drug get in its work, and, sooner or later, many coffee drinkers suffer. Before that time comes, suppose you make a personal test —quit coffee ten davs and use POSTUM Made of wheat and a little wholesome molasses, this famous pure food drink has a rich, snapy flavour much like that of mild, high-grade coffee, and it contains no drug or other harmful element. There are two forms of Posturn. The original Postum Cereal must be boiled; Instant Postum is the original Postum reduced to soluble form; a level teaspoonful in a cup with boiling water makes a perfect cup instantly. Both forms are equally delicious, and the cost per cup is about the same. The change from coffee to Postum is pleasant as well as highly beneficial, and with the better health that comes with freedom from caffeine, the drug in coffee, you'll know "There's a Reason" Grocers everywhere sell Postum.

Plan to Pull Big Fleet Through the Sluiceway in Dam While slush ice is still running free ly. in the Susquehanna, rivermen in this section are making preparations for early Spring work and if the stream clears sufficiently by the end of the week some of the coal fleets will be on the river. Among the big fleets which are being prepared for an early start Is the Harrisburg Light and Power Company's flotlla. Thoughout the winter months Its three steamers, four steam-pumps and "sand suckers" and thirty-two coal flats have been docked in winter quarters In the mouth of Paxton creek just below the Central Iron and Steel works. Inci dentally the job of bringing the big fleet northward across the river dam at Dock street is some job. If the water rises sufficiently to cover the dam the towing of the barges and steamers to the expanse of water above the dam will be comparatively easy. If the water doesn't rise suffi ciently. the whole fleet will have to be brought through the swiftly-running sluiceway along the river front wall. In order to accomplish this, accord ing to Superintendent L. L. Ferree, a steamer will be anchored near the dam and by means of a steam-winch it will pull the flats and other cra?i through the opening by means of a I block and tackle.
