And in these days of ac curate scientific knowledge there's no virtue in appearing astonished when this truth is faced. * \ Caffeine (the drug in coffee, and in tea also) leaves the system in an overworked and debilitated state, and is responsible for various serious ills and discomforts. Thousands who desire an appetizing hot table beverage with none of coffee's drawbacks, find a most delightful c--- - one con taining no deleterious substance whatever—in POSTUM —the pure cereal food-drink.

Montgomery, M. W. Jacobs, Spencei WE ARE accustomed to wonderful things undreamed of twenty years ago. Of these the greatest has become the most commonplace—the motor vehicle. The taxi habit has made horse-drawn carriages a novelty, and one in every thirty-three persons in the United States owns a motor car. Aside from pleasure, the convenience and certainty of getting from place to place quickly has become a necessity. , Speed and certainty of transportation are doubly impor tant in moving merchandise; the motor truck came just in time to make possible the business of caring for our rapidly in creased population. Out in the country towns, as well as in crowded centers, people demand the service that only the motor truck can give. They demand it for the delivery of everything—ice, coal, gro ceries, clothes. The merchant, manufacturer or transportation company that has not motorized his delivery system is looked on with some question to-day —his competitor has stolen a march on him. All the big express companies are well equipped with motor trucks of different sizes and capacities. Department stores use them almost to the exclusion of horses. The mod ern hospital increases its usefulness and its field of service by the swift motor ambulance. Our Government is every day using more and more motor trucks. The motor truck is a necessity, and the progressive busi ness man of to-day has already purchased motor trucks or will in the very near future. But it is not a question of any motor truck. It is a question of reasonable first cost, economy\of upkeep and operation, and efficiency in keeping everlastingly at work. Above all, the motor truck owner must have effective, con tinuous and reasonable after-sale service. His only assurance of this lies in purchasing from a responsible and successful manufacturer.

Blockades in the Market street sub way, congestion on Third and on Mar kets streets, accidents and untoward weather conditions are responsible for these conditions, declares the railways company head. "All cars, with the exception of those on North Cameron street, run into Market Square," explained Mr. Musser. "There is not a day that traffic on Third and Market streets does not interfere with the trolley schedules. A blockade does not mean a tie-up of only one car. On Third street It affects cars from three lines. On Market street congestion blocks all Reservoir, Kteelton, Hummelstown, Oberlln and Derry street cars. "Blockades break up our schedules and to get the cars running regularly requires two or more hours. Yoii sometimes see three or more cars fol lowing each other closely, going out Derry street, or over some other branch. The tie-up brings the cars together. We cannot straighten out the schedules at the congested termi nals. Frequently we get a schedule fixed up and another blockade comes. "Accidents in the Market street sub way are numerous. They cause tie-ups sometimes for half an hour. These conditions are not duo to any fault of ours. "The traffic ofMcers could help out at times by not holding up the cars too long. The other day, because of heavy travel on Market street and to the holding up of ears at Third and Fourth streets, it required sixteen minutes for an Allison Hill car to go from Market Sqiiare to the Pennsylva nia Railroad station entr^nre. "We are open rfor suggestions for the betterment of the service," said Mr. Musser. "Ten new cars have been ordered and will be here within the next three months. This new equip ment has been delayed because of the scarcity of material. We will make any improvement necessary and stand ready to do our best for the patrons."
