| What happened
| to the Cats?
Not long ago the 1. s. Gov't. made some ox-
S !>ei'iineuts to determine the poisoning t|iialities of
| affeine (the drug in coffee). I
I wenty-seven healthy cats were given an aver
| lii'i 1 dose lit' 4--"i (rrains of caffeine—aliout as much I
| <>f the drug as is contained in 2 cups of coffee.
1
a hat do you suppose happened*?
| The Cats all Died!
See ijiov't. Bulletin No. 14$, Bureau of Chemistry.
I Of course thev were onlv cats.
1
|
lint there are plenty of people who dose them- I
selves with enough caffeine every day to kill a cat j
and Cripple a Man, not at one blowj but by little ' !
blows repeated daily.
Of course some systems are strong enough to
stand all kinds of abuse, but most systems are not.
And when a man <>r woman observes a growing
nervousness or sleeplessness, heart trouble, stom
ach. bowel or eye disturbance, it is time to quit
coffee and turn to real food-drink, free from the
i coffee-drug, "caffeine."
|
It is easy to shift from coffee to
POSTUM
f<>r in POSTUM one gets a delicious drink with the 11
true nourishment of whole wheat from which it is
made. Postum is roasted (like coffee) with a bit of
wholesome molasses, looks like coffee and lias a de
lightful flavour resembling Old Dutch Java, but is
entirely free from the coffee-drug, caffeine, or any
other drug or harmful substance.
Postum conies in two forms: Regular Po3tum which must be
boiled. Instant Postum —soluble form—made in the cup instantly
with hot water. Grocers sell both kinds and the cost per cup is about
the same.

QUICK RELIEF FROM I
CONSTIPATION
Get Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets
That is the joyful cry of thousands!
since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tab
lets, the substitute for calomel.
Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician
for 17 years and calomel's old-time en
emy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, sooth
ing vegetable laxative.
No griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and liver
to act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
If you have a "dark brown mouth"
and then —a bad breath—a dull,
tired feeling—sick headache —torpid
liVer and are constipated, you'll tind
quick, sure and only pleasant results
from one or two little Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets at bedtime.
Thousands take one or two every
night just to keep right. Try them.
10c and 25c per box. All druggists.

BIG BUSH AT ASSAY OFFICE
| More Than $1,000,000 in Gold and Sil j
ver Refined Daily
New York, Oct. 21.—The .United]
States assay office here is doing a big
ger business in the refining of gold and
silver than it has done for many years,
perhaps ever. "More than $1,000,000 in
gold and silver is daily Tefined and run
into ibars. The greater part of the metal
is silver. In normal times the usual
amoiunt of metal run into bars amounts
to between $300,000 and $500,000 a
day. A short time ago it had fallen
even below the former figure.
The reason for the increased activ
ity at the assay office is said to be the
release of millions of dollars in gold and
silver' in the rougth which had been
held up in Mexico owing to the war
there.

SAY THE DEMOCRATS
ADOP[ NO PLATFORM
Brumbaugh Workers Assert. Special
Committee Never Reported Back
to State Committee— Ponn Alumni
For Brumbaugh
(.Special to the Star-Independent.)
_ Philadelphia, Oct. 21.—The Brum
baugh Citizens' committee gave out a
statement to-dav which said:
"Vance C. McCormick, in his cam
paign speeches, has time and time
again asserted that the Democratic
party adopted a platform pledged to
iocal option. The facts do not back
lip these statements
The Democratic State committee,
which met at Harrisburg, following the
May primaries, adopted no platform.
The Palmer faction, which controlled
the body, delegated to a special com
mittee named by the chairman and co
operating with the candidates, the
drafting of a declaration of principles.
That the committee has never reported
back to the general committee ami
never will.
"Ohairman Morris has never had the
courage to call a second meeting of the
Democratic State committee to have it'
as a body pass on the local option
plank. He is afraid to face its mem
bers. The business of the body is li'
day delegated to a small executive
committee, which he controls. Both the
Republican and Washington party
State committees have assembled on at
least two occasions each since the pri
maries. The Democrats have met but
one, on Jnne 3, last.
"Mr. Morris is afraid to call ft
meeting of the Democratic, State com
mittee to take place before election.
He dare not do so because he knows
that the party in large measure is not
in accord with the local option prin
ciple. He also knows that there is so
much dissension among the members
of the committee that a row would re
sult in a general meeting and wouifl
further cripple McCormick'g waning
chances.''
The work of the Brumbaugh Conj
mittee of Alumni of the Pennsylvania
has been meeting with the greatest
success in lining up the old "grads"
for the support of Martin G. Brum
baugh. Secretary Edwin M. Abbott has
received from every part of the State
messages of interest promising not only
to vote for the Republican nominee,
but also to work for him. This support
is not promised alone by men of his
own party, but Democrats and Wash
ington party adherents have also set
aside party lines and promised to jump
into the fray for one of their Alma
Mater. Many of the women graduates
have also sent word to the committee
that they will do all they can for the
candidacy of Dr. Brumbaugh.
Of the number of replies received,
over 4,000 have already volunteered
their services to the support of Dr.
Brumbaugh. These graduates extended
all the way back to the class of 1852.
