INNOVATION AT
INDIAN SCHOOL
"Model Cottage," Duplicate of
Reservation Home, Managed
by Girl Students
Special to the Telegraph
Carlisle, Pa., April 26.—An impor
tant innovation in the work o'f the In
dion school here was the establish
ment of a little bungalow in the center
of the campus which bears the title of
the "Model Home Cottage." The cot
tage Is used in connection with the
vocational course now in vogue af the
institution. The plan includes the
placing of four girls in the cottage |
each month with a matron In charge.
The girls do all the work connected
with running the home, which is so
constructed and laid out that it is prac
tically a duplicate of the real con
ditions found in any reservation home.
The cottage includes five rooms liv
ing room, kitchen and three bedrooms.
The girls have to plan the meals, cook
them, and are supposed to keep within
a certain' allowance. Visitors can be
entertained, but the allowance cannot
be exceeded.
The outing system, by means of!
which students are placed in reputable j
homes, is growing in popularity and
applications for Ltudents tinder the
sjstem during the coming summer
exceeds the supply.

Crop Prospects For Grain
Good All Over State
According to the prognosticators of
the State Department of Agriculture.
lh"re are prospects for a fine grain j
crop, but for poor gatherings of fruit
in Pennsylvania this year.
Both wheat and rye were sown late
last year on account of the wet
ground 'and the grain has passed 1
thiotigh a fine winter, escaping the
Hessian fly to a great extent. From
the reports from all sections of the
State it would appear that both the
wheat and rye crop will be about
ninety-five per cent, of the average
\ itld. Last year at this time the
indications pointed to a wheat crop
of about 83 per cent, of the average j
and a rye crop of about 91 per cent, i
of the average. '
I Tea, Coffee
It would be difficult for any parent to find a physician of modern education
who would contend that coffee and tea are not harmful, especially to growing
children.
The fact remains, however, that many parents give these beverages to their
little folks and allow their use in older children at a time when physical and
mental development is the most rapid.
The drug, caffeine, in coffee and tea retards growth and interferes with
school progress. Disturbances of eyesight, headaches, nervousness, irritability,
indigestion and other ills appear in many, seemingly without cause, and the
damage often occurs at the most impressionable period of life.
No parent should permit the use of coffee and tea in the growing young;
for the men and women of to-morrow will be what the parent of to-day makes
the children by wise upbringing.
Children as well as adults need an invigorating, warm drink, and in a
growing number of homes it has been found that the most wholesome table
beverage is
INSTANT POSTUM
i
This pure food-drink, made of prime wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses
is readily prepared at the table, a cup at a time.
A level teaspoonful of Instant Postum in a cup of hot water, with cream and
sugar added, makes an attractive, healthful drink, and its pleasant flavour wins
children and usually the parents.
"There's a Reason"
Grocers everywhere sell Instant Postum
WTONESDA Y EVENING,
MAPLE SUGAR HAS
POOR PROSPECT
f State Reports Show That the
Production Will Not Be Up
to the Average This Year
The maple sugar production in
Pennsylvania will be considerably re
duced this season according to reports
i received from the maple sugar centers
■ by the Department of Agriculture,
i The statements made on the first of
[ April indicated that the cold weather
lof March had seriously affected the
run of the sap and tappings had been
made in very counties where the
run was found to be slow.
In Somerset county, where the
chief maple sugar industries are
centered, the reports stated that the
output would be very small while
there would be an abundance of
everything else. Wayne county re
ports said that the maple sugar crop
! was practically ruined, while Erie,
] Tioga and Crawford counties report
i ed a light crop.
The cold weather and the lack of
warm days during March has made
the flow of sap very slow. Successful
, maple sugar tapping requires warm
days to bring the flow of sap up and
| cold nights to stop the How. The days
and nights ha.ve been equally cold
and the few warm spells were marked
with only slight changes in the
temperature between day and night,
j A decided change in the prospects may
I come with warmer weather.
There is annually produced In the
State about 1,250,000 pounds of
maple sugar and about 400,000 gallons
of syrup Is made. The principal
msp(c sugar producing, counties are:
Bedford, Bradford. Crawford, Erie,
Fayette, McKean. Potter. Somerset,
| Sullivan. Susquehanna, Tioga. Warren
; and Wayne.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
TO CHANGE PRICE
OF NEWSPAPERS?
Publishers All Over State Sec
That 2-Cent Paper Is
Inevitable
Philadelphia, April 2fi.—The annual
meeting of the Pennsylvania Asso
ciated Dailies to-day adopted a reso
lution that if there'is no great reduc
tion in the cost of producing news
papers, the price of the papers will
have to be raised to 2 cents a copy.
The meeting was attended by publish
ers from all parts of the state and was
held in connection with the annual
meeting of the Pennsylvania Editorial
Association and the annual gathering
of Jhe Pens.vlvania Weeklies.
After the morning sessions were over
a largely attended luncheon was held
at which Major-General Deonard
Wood was the principal speaker.
E. J. Stackpole, of the Harrisburg
Telegraph, president of the Associated
Dailies, presided at the morning ses
sion of that" organization. Addresses
were made on practical questions re
lating to the publication and distri
bution of newspapers. 'J. H. Zerby, of
the Pottsvllle Republican, spoke on
the probable necessity of increasing
the price of newspapers.
Slay Change Price
I The resolution adopted stated that
| the cost of manufacturing newspapers
| in all departments has so increased
that it is impossible to publish and
I sell a daily newspaper for 1 cent with
j out a loss. The resolution further
stated that the publishers of daily
I newspapers through the state publicly
I give notice that unless there be imme
diately a great material reduction in
■ the present prices of mechanics' ma
j trial, labor and white paper, the time
[ lias arrived to change the price of the
! 1-cent newspaper to 2 cents.
Mr. Stackpole was re-elected presi
dent of the Associated Dailies. George
J. Campbell, Pittsburgh Legal Journal,
was elected firs) vice-president; W. L. I
Taylor, York Dispatch, second vice- |

Three American Concerns
Prepare to Reopen Their
Mines in Northern Mexico
By Associated Press
El Paso, Texas. April 26. —As an in
dication of their confidence that seri
ous trouble will be avoided between
I the United States and Mexico, three
important American concerns made
preparations to-day to reopen their
plants in Northern Mexico.
The Alvarado Mining Company, op
j eratinK near Parral; the Compania
I Aigicola, with a plant at to Boquilla,
! and the National Mines and Smelter
! Company, with headquarters at Magis
| tral. has arranged to send forty mine
operators into Mexico next Monday.
These men have been given permission
by the de facto government to carry
j guns and ammunition to protect them
j selves against the roving bands of ban
| dits who still infest Chihuahua.
The confidence shown by the mining
companies is not, however, based en
tirely on the protection which the
5 da facto government can give them,
i according to one of their executives.
This man said that he believed that
; the American troops are going to re
j main in Mexico until the situation
again becomes normal and that he and
! his colleagues were relying on the ex
pectation that they could call on
United States soldiers for help In the j
I event of serious trouble.

PENROSE SMILES
WHILE IN TOWN
Appears to Be in a Very Good
Humor; Goes West With
Snyder and Focht
United States Senator Boies Penrose
came fo'Town late last night with a
smile and wore it when he sailed out
over the Harrisburg bridge in his big
red automobile this morning on his
way to Pittsburgh. The Senator spent
the night here and met a number of
friends at breakfast and expected to
meet more along the road to Pitts
burgh, where he will make his opening
speech to-morrow night.
"You seem to be looking very well
and to be very well pleased about
something. Why the smiles?" was
at.ked of the Senator last night.
"Oh. I'm just smiling. This is the
time to smile." responded the Senator.
This morning when interrogated as
to the contlnuanc of the smile the
Senator said: "I do not see any occa
sion not to smile."
The Senator got into town in his car
about 10.30 Jast night and most of the !
men who had planned to visit him
gave up trying to see him. Probably
*ialf a dozen men called on him after
he had gone to his room in the Senate.
Ex-Senator William Hertzler. of Port
Royal, spent some time with him. The
Juniata county leader was smiling like j
the Senator. He would not tell why. '
either.
The Penrose plans for to-day con- |
templated stops at Chambersburg,
McConnellsburg, Bedford and Greens
burg to meet leaders and arrival in j
Pittsburgh late to-night. Senator 1
Charles A. Snyder, candidate for the j
Republican nomination for Auditor
General, and Congressman B. K. Focht, j
of joined the Senator here
and went over the mountains with him. j
The Schuylkill Senator had a smile,
too.
Senator Penrose declined to make
any statement here and when someone j
tried to "jolly" him by asking whether j
he had found any Brumbaugh senti- i
ment in the state on his trip to this |
city he responded that he had not j
gotten far enough into the state as yet. i
Brothers Occupy Same
Room at the Hospital
Daniel Miller, aged 25. of Ship
pensburg, after undergoing an opera
tion for appendicitis to-day at the
Harrisburg Hospital, was removed to
the room occupied by his brother,
William Miller, of Shippensburg, who
was admitted to the institution last
week.
When William heard that his
brother had been brought here for an j
operation he asked that Daniel be '
brought to his room. Both are ex
pected to recover.
CHASED MAN WITH HATCHET
Jerry Bird, who last Saturday
night chased "Bily" Seiders down Ash
alley with a hatchet, was arraigned by
Alderman Bolton yesterday and held
