Mother Love
would never give a child anything
known to be harmful. Yet every time a mother
gives her child a cup of coffee she is giving it from
one to three grains of a drug—caffeine.
Little by little the caffeine in coffee and tea un
dermines health—much more rapidly in children—
none the less surely in many adults.
There's a safe, delicious food-drink—
POSTUM
It is made of choice wheat roasted with a bit of
wholesome molasses and contains the goodness of
the grain—no caffeine, no harmful substance what
ever. Children may drink it freely—everybody may
—with pleasure and perfect comfort.
Postum comes in two forms: The original
Postum Cereal, which has to be boiled; In
stant Postum, the soluble form, made in the
cup with hot water —instantly.
Convenient —economical—satisfying—

STATE CAN GIVE
90,000 HORSES
\ble to Furnish War Depart
ment With 20,000 Mules
Also
Pennsylvania can furnish between
1*5,000 and JO,OOO horses and between
15,000 and 20,000 mules for military
use according to estimates made by
the Pennsylvania Department of Agri
culture to-day.
The department records show that
there are about 596,000 horses on the
farms of the State and an additional
150,000 In the cities and towns. On
the farms there are 46,000 mules and
in the towns and cities, an additional
22,000 mules. The large percentage
found outside of farm territory is due
to the large number of mules employ
ed at the mines throughout the State.
Experts of the Department of Agri
culture estimate that only about ten
per cent, of the Pennsylvnaia horses
would be available for military use.
They point out that the majority of
the horses used on the farms are
draft horses and that the type of horse
desired for cavalry purposes is a hunt
ing or light driving horse weighing
between 950 and 1100 pounds. The i
government at the presnt time also
limits its purchases to horses under I
four years of age.
25 per Cent or Mules
With the mules the percentage !
available for military use is much lar
ger and the experts of the Department
say that at least twenty-five per cent,
of the 70,000 mules in the State would
be available. Tl»e mule is noted for
hardiness under heavy work, freedom
of disease, steadiness in service and
ease of maintenance.
It is pointed out that the cities
would furnish a relatively larger per
centage of horses for cavalry use,than
the rural districts as the horses found
in the cities are of a type better adapt- |
ed tomilitary purposes.
American Aviators Can
Not Be Freed by France
Paris, June 22.—The American
j aviators in the service of Fiance are
not able to comment on or reply to
the inquiry from the Aero Club of
America whether they will return to
take service in the American armv in
the event of war with Mexico. They
are prevented from replying by the
fact that they have enlisted in the
French army for the duration of the
war and are subject to armv discipline.
The only manner in which this sub
ject could be taken up would be by
negotiations between the governments
of France and the United States. The
case of the Garibaldians, released from
the service of France to tight in Italy
is not parallel. Inasmuch as these sol
diers returned to their own country to
fight with the entente allies.
