Evans, prominent Chicago physician, who edits the "How to Keep Well" columns of the Chicago Tribune, said in that publication, under date of March 7, 1915: "Coffee is a drug. Those who are addicted to its use are drug addicts." "From the standpoint of public hygiene the coffee question is worth while. It is the most widespread form of drug addiction." Some coffee drinkers go on for years without seeming harm, but with others the telltale effects of the drug, caffeine, in coffee, show in various ills and discomforts, such as headache, biliousness, indigestion, nervousness, sleepless ness and heart disturbance. \\ hen the health of a coffee-drinker begins , ■—'■ ■■ to suffer it's high time to quit the coffee. i The change to i . , /.

"There's a Reason" For Postum WEDNESDAY EVENING, TAMPA IS WONDER CITIES OF HUSTLING SOUTH [ Editorial t'orn\si>oiideiHx*. ] Tampa, Florida, March 20. In its relation to the rest of the country Tampa was placed definitely and permanently upon the map by the Spanish-American war, when the armies of the United States sailed forth from this port for Cuba. Of course, Tampa wan in existence many years before the little racket with Spain, but it was not until about that time that the city became prominent as the chief west coast city of Flor ida. Tampa is abouit the same as Har ] risburg in population, and in some of its characteristic features. If any body had the idea that Tampa was an ] indifferent southern city, without am bition or activity, he should imme j diately revise his opinion. It is one j of the most progressive and modern of i municipalities, aJid its future as the j gateway of Panama seems assured. It ! is the judgment at Mayor McKay that | Tampa is certain to become the main port of entry for the trade of the big 1 canal. His conclusion is based upon lhe belief that Key West is almost certain to be taken over for the uses of the United States government. As ; everybody knows, the harbor of Key- West is large enough to accommo , date the navies of the world. Tampa is said to have been built upon sand and smoke; in other words, it has risen out of the sand, and is prosperous by reason of having more ihan 200 cigar factories, employing {thousands of cigar makers who turn out a million "smokes" every day. It is said that more Havana cigars are made in Tampa than in the metro polis of Cuba. Certain It Is that the Spanish and Cuban population of Tampa represent a large part of its business activities. There are many influential and wealthy Cuban cigar manufacturers and these dominate much of the business of the city. 75 Miles of Paved Streets I was particularly interested In Tampa because of Its civic develop ment. It has been just sixteen yeais since the first street was paved and the city now has about 7 5 miles of paved highway. The county of Hills borough, of which Tampa is the coun ty seat, was the first county in the I'nited States to vote one million dol lars for the construction of brick roads entirely in the country districts. Ilarrisbursi is not unknown in this metropolis of Southern Florida. The fame of the capital city of Pennsyl vania has extended to this place and what has been accomplished in Har rlsburg has been an inspiration for the civic leaders of Tampa. This is the only city In the country that owns a hotel as a municipal as set. Some years ago H. B. Plant in the zenith of his power erected here what is known as the Tampa Bay Ho tel. a palace in that dajc and some years after his death the city acquir ed the tropical park and the hotel buildings which had cost more than five millions, for $140,000. There are many handsome homes here, fine churches, clubhouses, school build ings and a splendid boulevard along the bay front, suggesting our own Sus quehanna river drive. Through the assistance of Congress there is now being constructed a deep er channel which will accommodate the largest war vessels as weli as the biggest ships of the merchant marine fleet that Is expected to grow dur ing the next two years. The city owns and controls five miles of docks, or docking room, and there is abundant reason for the faith that Is In the municipal leaders regarding the fu ture of the city. World's Phosphate Snpplj- More than half of the world's phos phate supply comes from this sec tion, a million tons being shipped from Tampa annually. The total value of the water commerce of the city every year approximates forty million dol lars. This in addition to the tremen dous railroad business which centers here. Readers of the Telegraph would hardly be interested in the details of what is making Tampa a great city, but in my touring of Florida nowhere have I been so impressed with (lie, fundamental features of a great de- velopment as here. There is sub stance and co-ordinate expansion in every direction. When a city built upon the sand will spend millions of dollars for its own betterment and exert its potent influence upon the whole surrounding territory it is no wild flight of imagination to suggest that a city of half a million people is possible within the decade. Florida Is a stock raising State and the pasture lands are still very ex tensive. It is stated that during the Civil war Florida furnished most of the beef for the southern armies. Cow boys may be seen riding along the country roads very much as one sees them on the western fronUer. More different kinds of fish are taken from the waters about Tampa than anywhere else in Florida. There are said to be COO varieties of the finny tribe in Florida waters, the tar pon and the king fish being the star game fish for those who delight in that sport. Good Roads In view of the activities in Pennsyl vania in the development of good roads, it is interesting to observe what is being done here, and in every sec tion of Florida. The people have come to understand that the great est development of the State depends jupon the making of permanent high ways; It is amazing how much has already been accomplished In this di rection. As suggested in a previous letter, the county of Polk, where I spent several weeks, is about to vote on a loan proposition of $1,250,000 for a system of county roads. Yet little old Dauphin county groans now and then over a mile or two of Im proved highway at county expense. Apropos of the erection of the new high school building in Harrisburg, it is interesting to note thai Tampa built four large school buildings at one and the same time in four differ ent sections of the city, and all under the same plans and specifications. They are attractive and up-to-date structures. There is also being built hundreds of attractive bungalows and the number of club buildings is sur prising. Several of these clubhouses have been erected by the fraternal or ganizations of the foreign population, and they would be creditable to a city ten times the size of Tampa. Here are many playgrounds for the children, and several school buildings are provided with covered pergolas where children may eat their lunches. A tine public library has just been completed, with the assistance of An drew Carnegie. One of the feaftires of Tampa which is sure to impress the visitor is the sanitary department, which is responsible for the remarkable health of the city. This is in charge of \V. ,1. Bailey, who spent sometime- In Harrisburg last October, and who has a very pleasant recollection of what he found in our own city. He has been all over the country visiting and inspecting sanitation plants, and is justly proud of the record of Tampa in this respect. I am told that every boy who finds a dead rat upon the streets of Tampa and who delivers the carcass of the rodent to the sanitary incinerating plant, receives ten cents for his interest In preserving the health of the community. This de partment also looks after the sprinkl ing and cleaning of the streets, the inspection of restaurants, bakeries, dairies and food product houses. Re ports of these Inspections are publish ed, and the results are quite satisfac tory. Ther6 are said to be few flies in Tanipa. An Interesting City Was told to-day that Mrs. Potter Palmer is preparing to erect a city beautiful on the outskirts of Tampa land is planning many unique bunga lows for Its suburb. So, altogether. Tampa is an interesting and attrac tive city for the visitor. Baseball fans are particularly in terested in Tampa at this time, owing to the presence here of the Chicago | Cubs who have been in training for the last three weeks. This after j noon the Chicago team met the Phil- Indelphia nine, which is doing its train ing at St. Petersburg, a few miles lown the bay.

This addition will cost $225,000 and provide a total of, 300 rooms. There is much of interest that might be included in a letter of this kind, but I realize that Harrisburg is far from Tampa, and the reader may not be interested in many things which impress the visitor on the ground. Mr. Bailey, chief of the sanitary de partment, treated me very courteously, and with Mr. 11. Katz. a Harrisburg man who Is touring the South on business, showed me about the city hall where I met a number of the Hvewires of Tampa. In this building are the executive hustlers of the Board of Trade. They have also heard of Harrisburg. Among those who have been spend ing a few days here are Dr. and Mrs. 1 H. L. Orth and the Misses Orth, of I Harrisburg, who leave this afternoon for Ocala, whence they will make a trip up the fatuous Ocklawaha river to Palatka, going thence to St. Augustine. E. J. S. Exceptant to Account In Dead Man's Estate Might Receive $1.61 Of the thirty-five trustees', guar dians', and administrators' accounts submitted for confirmation at March quarter sessions Orphans' Court, only two were excepted to. In the estate of Jacob B. Reigle, the first and final account of John l-t. Cassel, administra tor, was objected to on technical grounds. The only other exception was ilb-d in the final accounting made by John Hoerner as administrator of Cyrus Hoerner, South Ilanover. The objector is Mary IJ. Snyder, whose total inheritance will amount to a fraction less than $1.61. Recruiting Office Open Nights to Receive Men Orders have been received by Captain It. C. Williams, in chartre of the recruit ing station for Central Pennsylvania with offices In this city, to open new stations at York, Chambersburg, Uewis town and Ijebanon. New stations have been opened at Shamokin, Lancaster and Williamsport. Captain Williams announced to-day that vacancies exist in all tranches except the colored regi ments, P. nd effort" are being made to enlist 25.000 men for cavalry, infantry and artillery service. Owing to a short age of men the new stations will not be (.poneil until a later date, but Cap tain Williams was notified that ten ad ditional men were assigned to his dis trict. The loral recruiting office will tie open in the evenings from T to 9 o'clock, to accommodate men who can not apply during the day for service in the army. , Suffrage and Prohibition Are Killed in House Special to the Telegraph Washington, March 29.
