The principal reature of the day's program will be the address of Dr. J. I'. Wickersham Crawford, of tae department of Romanic languages and literatures, University of Pennsyl vania. Dr. Crawford is also dean of the summer school, and the club feels that it is unusually fortunate m secur ing a man of his ability. In view of the fact that the teaching of Spanish in the public schools is now SJ general ly urged, the subject of the address, "The Spain of To-day," is of more Ihan usual interest. While the club will meet at 3.30. Dr. Crawford will not fcpeak untii 4, and it is hoped that many of the school teachers will make an effort to hear him. even if they ar rive a little late. Club niemoer- will lie privileged to bring guests and it is hoped that Dr. Crawford will have an audience worthy of him. The three departments, educational, municipal and outdoor, will meet be fore the regular club meeting and hold their annual election of officers. The municipal department, Miss Bac'iiel Pol lock. chairman, will meet in the di rectors' room, | Y W. C. A., at 3.43; the educational department, Mrs. Lind ly Hosford, chairman, will meet at 2.15 in John Y. Bov.l nail; the outdoor tie Either Way— Drugs Are Harmful! If a coffee drinker, have you stopped to think that, with every eup of cof fee, you are taking from two to three grains of caffeine, a slow, but powerful, drug? According to.medieal authorities, caffeine is a cause of nervousness, heart trouble, indigestion, constipation and other ailments. It's'a cumulative drug, and what's more, a habit-forming drug. Sometime, when the 'offee-drug gets in its licks, you'll realize the harm it does; but wouldn tit be better to avoid trouble stop coffee now and use Postum. it is a pure food-drink, made from selected wheat and a little wholesome molasses, carefully roasted, ground and skilfully blended. This gives it a snappy taste much like that rich, old Java, but Postum is absolutely free from caffeine, or any other harmful ingredient. Postum comes in two forms:—Postum Cereal —requires boiling—lsc and 25c pkgs. Instant Postum—a soluble .form—no boiling required—made instantly in the cup with hot water —30c and 50c tins. The difference is only in the form. Both kinds are equallv wholesome and delicious and the cost per cup is about the same. Be sure to ask for the kind you want. "There's a Reason" for POSTUM —sold by Grocers everywhere. — i partment, Mrs. Edwin S. Herman, chairman, will inset in the small parlor on the second door at 3 p. m. It is hoped that there will be u lull attend ance at al! of t;>ese department meetl - Nominations will be made at the Civ ic Club meeting for the full quota of officers, elections taking place at the April meeting.
