"Coffee has been used in our family of eleven—father, mother, five sons and four daughters—for thirty years. I am the eldest of the boys and have always been considered the runt of the family and a coffee toper. "I continued to drink it for years un til I grew to be a man, and then I found I had stomach trouble, nervous headaches, poor circulation, was un able to do a full day's work, took medi cine for this, that and the other thing, without the least benefit. In fact I only weighed 116 when I was 28. "Then I changed from coffee to Pos tum, being the first one in our family to do so. I noticed, as did the rest of the family, that I was surely gaining strength and flesh. Shortly after I was visiting my cousin who said, 'You look so much better—you're getting fat.' "At breakfast his wife passed me a cup of coffee, as she knew I was al ways such a coffee drinker, but I said, 'No, thank you.' "'What!' said my cousin, 'you quit coffee? What do you drink?' " 'Postum,' I said, 'or water, and I am well.' They did not know what Postum was, but my cousin had stom ach trouble and could not sleep at night from drinking coffee three times a day. lie was glad to learn about Postum, but said he never knew cof fee would hurt anyone." (Tea is just aa injurious as coffee because it con tains caffeine, the same drug found In coffee.) "After understanding my conditioa and how I got well he knew what to do for himself. He discovered that coffee was the cause of his trouble as he never used tobacco or anything else of the kind. You should see the change in him now. We both believe that if persons who suffer from coffee drink ing would stop and use Postum they could build back to health and happi ness." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

WILL RUN MUCH HIGHER Total Returned by Philadelphia is Greater Than Personal Property of Whole State Twenty Years Ago for Tejcation. (Special Harrisburg Correspondence.) ' Harrisburg.—Although but forty ifour counties have filed their reports on personal property valuation for 1;♦ 12 in the office of Auditor General Sisson, the tremendous increase of $66,554,517.27 over the valuations re turned by the same counties in 1911 is shown, and there are prospects that when the State totals are made up the .gain will run much higher. Of the counties reporting, twenty-nine show substantial gains, and there is an in teresting possibility attached to the ! report of Philadelphia. This year j Philadelphia returned as the v a i ue of personal property assessed State | taxation within its limits a total of ' $582,223,557.36, an increase of $31,293,- I 822.59 over the figures for 1911, and it was also reported that the sum of $59,990,086.39 was not returned be cause it is owned by a corporation ! which is in litigation. If this could j be included the Philadelphia return would aggregate $91,292,809.98 more than last year. There is a chance that j the litigation over this sum may end next year. At any rate the total re turned from Philadelphia this year is | greater than the personal property re j turned for taxation in the whole State 1 j twenty years ago. I Reported By Counties. The increase reported by the vari | ous counties in the last few weeks is I notable because of the fact that school I bonds and the investments of benefi cial associations paying sick and death benefits are not now taxable for State purposes. In addition to Phila delphia, with its increase of over s3l,- j 000,000 these counties have returned j big increases: Allegheny, $15,560,380, | | its total valuation for 1912 being $212,- I 872,080; Delaware, $2,033,717.80; Lu | zerne, sSii4,oß9; Westmoreland. $865,- j 955; Erie, $987,205, its increase last j year having been $600,000 over 1910; Chester, $773,388; Lehigh, $784,G84; j Lawrence, $554,229, this county being j the first to pay its personal property tax to the State this year; Northamp ton, $286,509.24; Dauphin, $208,730, notwithstanding $400,000 of school j bonds are no longer taxable as person | al property; Lycoming, $245,992; Mer j cer, $201,661; Pike, $60,737.39, and | Mifflin, $32,630.79. Other counties j made returns showing smaller increas- j eSj although Montgomery, one of the first to file, gained over $5,000,000. Under the law the State returns to j the counties three-fourths of what is received as personal property tax. Spirit Well Drilled. One of the deepest oil wells, or well, where it is hoped to get oil is the one in Tioga county known as "the spirit well." It was located by a spiritual istic medium, and the promoters have every confidence in the result of the 1 drilling. For the past year this well j has been handled as a "mystery" and | none but the drillers and owners know j the exact depth. The derrick is in closed and outsiders are not allowed in. The well is now more than 5000 feet deep. Much difficulty was experi enced in drilling deeper than 5000 feet, owing to the "cave" that was en countered at a depth of 4SOO feet. For months it seemed that drilling was im- I possible, but after repeated efforts a j rasing was anchored in the proper place and the quicksands were shut off. If the well proves a gusher it will i give a "boom" to spirit-located wells i all through the oil fields of the Stata j Pure Food Crusade. State (kiiry and food agents got into some new lines of activity last month, according to the report of the commis sioner for July, among the arrests made being one for the sale of gelatin which was declared to contain sul phurous acid. This product was tak en to a chemist and analyzed and it is expected that more arrests along the same line will take place. The agents also arrested a number of men for the sale of oranges and apples which were displayed on stands and which were found half rotten and arrested one dealer in canned tomatoes because the 1 can contained two-thirds water. In one case a man advertised sweet cider for sale and it made people drunk, be ins an ingenious mixture to evade tlia revenue laws. Freak Calf Pays Mortgage. The blessings sometimes come dis guised was interestingly proved when Johannes Martin, a hard-working farmer of White Mills, visited one of the banks at Honesdale and paid off a J1.500 mortgage that had hung cloud like over his home. The money repre sented the proceeds of a deal with a Coney Island showman in which a calf with two heads, six legs and two tails changed hands. The calf was born on the Martin farm recently and the own er did not hesitate to express his dis appointment.

MAYOR WALKER'S COMMAND Contractors Who Have Complained That They Could Not Get Laborers, Happy—Supply Equal to Demand —No Reason for Loafing. j Altoona. —Mayor Walker's intention to jail all loafers found in Altoona has ' had its effect. Contractors who have heretofore been complaining that they | could not get laborers are suddenly j finding the supply quite equal to the | demand, and are correspondingly hap' i py. There is an ordinance on the lo- I cal books giving the police authority ! to arrest any person without visible | means of support on the charge of va grancy, or as a suspicious person. This is the ordinance which the Mayor pro poses to use on the men who are ! chronic idlers. It carries with it a stiff jail sentence, which his Honor proposes to impose. "There is no rea son in the world why men should bo ! loafing in this town," declared Mayor | Walker. "We have more work to do than we can get through with, and all hands must be busy. Women who are : breaking their backs over the wasb \ tubs to keep the family complain to :ne that their husbands never come j heme save to eat and sleep, and don't j bring in any provisions. Other citi ■ zens complain of begring on the I streets. It's all going to stop. These ! lazy loafers have got to work or get out of town." Lamps With History. I Harrisburg.—State Librarian T. L. Montgomery has received from a friend in York County a pair of lamps which are unique biyh in purpose and j workmanship and besides have an in | reresting history. The lamps were used for signaling in the Civil War | and w ere left behind by the Confed erate army detachment when it broke \ up its camp near Wriglitsville in 18S3. The lamps were evidently taken off a coach and Montgomery says that the i coach must have been a good one be cause the lamps are well made and | contain fine metal. They %vere put ■n the tops of pole and •■■ied to signal between forces on raids. It i* believed j they were used by some of Stuart's j cavalry. Anyway, they will rest for the future in the State Museum. Reading Hotel Projected. Reading.—The* Reading Hotel prop | erty, at Fifth and Washington streets, ;his was sold to W. H.

Easton.—By unanimous vote, City Councils adopted a resolution direct ing the Mayor to appoint a comjnittee to inquire into the cost of a municipal lighting plant, to give competition to the Eastern Pennsylvania Power Com pany, which absorbed all the lighting companies in Easton and announced a ! jig boost in light prices. Councils i also adopted an ordinance, requiring j ill electric iight, power, telephone atu 1 elegraph wires to come down within j lie fire limits of the city. Must Regulate Dance Halls. York.—An agitation for the regnla- i ion of dance halls here has been j -tarted by the Woman's Club, and , after a conference with Mayor Lefean j it has been decided to introduce an ! ordinance before Councils for this j purpose.
