Postum is delicious and comes in two forms. The original Postum Cereal

adding hot water. The flavor is the same and the cost about equal. Both
kinds are good for young and old, and satisfy the craving for a hot, aro

Harrisburg's river demonstration
Labor Day, September 4, the biggest
spectacle of the kind ever held in the
municipality's history.
Now Then Everybody In
That in brief was the gist of the
report submitted last evening at the
navy meeting by W. C. Lutz, a member
of the committee on floats and com
mercial co-operation. Mr. Lutz re
ported in the absence of W. H. John
ston, chairman. In closing Mr. Lutz
earnestly urged all the business firms
to get in touch with the committee.
He himself can be reached at the
offices of the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company.
"In urging business folks to go in,"
said Mr. Lutz. "tell them that arrange
ments can be made about their flats by
communicating with us. The cost of
the craft will be very small, I think
arrangements can be assured whereby
only the actual cost of maintenance
will be charged. Now then, everybody
get busy, whether you are on" the
committee or not urge the mer
chants and businesshouses to come in.
That is what will help make the float
end of the carnival a real success,"

The "Greater Harrisburg Navy"
"Greater Harrisburg Navy," was;
definitely decided as the official name I
of the great body of canoeists, motor
boatmen and other river enthusiasts
of Harrisburg and other towns along !
the Susquehanna whose boating folk
will have access to the river. Munici
pal Boat Club, Susquehanna boat j
club, Harrisburg boating association j
and Capital City boat club were other !
names suggested.
Of particular importance however, i
was the adoption of certain recom- j
mendations for the permanent de
velopment and improvement of the
basin' as suggested by the executive
committee. These will include com
mittees on "permanent development
and improvement," "municipal boat
houses," and "municipal bathing
beaches." The appointment of the
former really marks the first definite
step of the "navy" as organization to
ward bringing about the real purpose
of the organization—the ultimate de- |
velopment of the Susquehanna j
"basin." t
The Permanent Development
In putting the recommendation to |
a vote of the rivermen President E.
J. Stackpole pointed out the wonder
ful possibilities of the river in the i
future. Emphasis of course, was laid i
on ibe coming negatta but this, it was |
explained, will serve as a real boost I
toward the final objective of the
"navy"—the river basin improvement.
■Municipal bathhouses, bath in g
beaches, the lighting and permanent
improvement of the islands, the mark
ing of boat channels—these are a few
of the problems that Harrisburg must
solve in the very near future and the
purpose of the "navy" as an organiza
tion is to boost this movement.
In the Years to Come
On the permanent development l
committee will be the members of the 1
park advisory board, the city planning I
commission, the city engineer, the |
park architectural expert, the super- j
Intendent and assistant superlntend
i ent of parks and such other represen
i tatlves of the "navy" whose knowledge
of the river and river conditions will
i be of invaluable assistance.
The committees will be appointed
; within a few days.
; No recommendation for a perman-
I ent name for the annual regatta or
, river demonstration was submitted as
the committee wishes further sugges
tions. If you've a, name in mind, Mr.
Reader, send it to the committee. T.
M. Kelker is chairman and can be ad
dressed care of the Park Depart
ment, Calder building.
Will Adopt Cap and Insignia
Mr. Kelker was appointed chairman
of a committee to select an insignia,
including type of uniform cap. He
j will select his own committee. The
| little white duck navy uervlce cap
| with a brim that can be turned up or
! down arid which lends so effective an
| appearance to Uncle Sam's sailors will
1 likely be selected. Some of • the
rivermen have been wearing the cap
i for years. They cost little and give
a distinctive touch to the wearer's ap
; pcarance, as one of the advocates of
this headgear pointed out.
"Wouldn't the river look pretty
nice," he asked, "with a lot of boat-
I men—say a thousand or more canoe
ists, motorboatmen and so on, girls
'and boys paddling or chugging
about with every passenger wearing
| the 'navy' cap ?"
The Membership Campaign
In order to facilitate tne handling
of the membership campaign, a com
mittee on ways and means to act as a
I central body was appolmed at the
suggestion of Chairman A. R.
I Michener. This committee will consist
of C. W. Wolfe, Clarence Shenk, W. C.
! Lutz, Ralph Seiders and Frank Roth,
j July 1 was fixed as the annual date
| for payment of dues hereafter and
the membership fee was reduced
; from $1 to fifty cents. The member
ship campaign will be definitely organ
ized in a few days when the commit
tee mails each canoeist whose name Is
name is available a return postcard re
questing him to enlist.
The feminine portion of Harris
burg's big body of river en
thusiasts will have a chance to join
the ••navy," too, and the membership
was left to the committee to fix. John
John Hunter, 106 N. Second street was
added to the membership committee.
[Martin Keet was elected to handle the
f publicity work and empowered to ap-
I point such advisory committee or com
| mittees as may be necessary.

last few months. The fashion seems to
have declined in the army and our
chief customers are men Just over
military age.
"Why do men wear monocles? Un
doubtedly the single eyeglass confers
distinction on the right sort of man,
but scarcely one man in a thousand
can sustain the distinction.
"To wear a monocle successfully a
man must be perfectly dressed. A
monocle and baggy trousers are an
impossible combination. Probably one
of the reasons why monocles are be
coming popular with middle-aged men
is the reluctance of the man of forty
to be eclipsed by the glamor of uni
form.
"Undoubtedly in the right sort of
men the monocle conveys a subtle dis
tinction of superiority. It either em
phasizes or obscures personality; there
is no middle way."
