FOOD COFFEE.
IN WESTERN NEW YORK.

The Brain-W orkers Make a Discovery
In Rochester, New York, there is rather
peculiar condition OF things in the gro
ceTy business. Mr. w. E. Wood bury has
a string OF fine grocery stores located in
all parts of the city. AS a result he buys
goods in very large quantities. Mr..
Woodbury. took quite a fancy to Postum
Cereal, the grain coffee, and being large
importer of regular coffee, his opinion
would seem to carry some weight. He
introduced Postum to mis- customers,
many OF whom are unable TO use common
berry coffee owing to their inability 10
digest 1t. The result of the introduc ton
was phenomenal trade. and developed
the fact that almost half the people OF
what might be termed the intellectual or
brain workers are kept from the use of
coffee because of their inability to digest
1t, and neither tea nor chocolate seems to
I'LL the want. 1913 cases Ga case containing
from one 10 four dozen psckages) were de-
manded for The trade in Postum during a
period OF twenty five daYs in which the
shil ments were kept track of.
There is but one genuine original Pos
tum Cereal coffee, with multitude of
limitations offered as lust as good.

Rev. Alfred Hummer made a strong
plea for religious university training at
the meeting OF the Methodist preachers
yesterday. His paper was entitled
"ChrisIianiiy and Secular Culture" and

churches to do something TO prevent the
secuIa1ization of Christian students. DR..
RUNNERS opinion was that the Pacific
Coast needs a religious university, as we'll
endowed as the State University, so that
the students who come from Christian
homes may not have to encounter any
secular spirit.

Harrisburg, March 10. - Yesterday
was a very quiet day in both bodies OF
the general assembly The senate held
a short session during the morning,
and then took recess until Monday
evening. The house held two session,
with slim attendance at both. Mr..
Nesbit, of Northumberland, introduced
a resolution to investigate charges of
fraud in fitting up the Grace Methodist
church. The resolution was referred
to the buildings and ground commit
tee, which held a short session after
the morning session to hear Mr.. Nes-
bits charges in detail. 1t Is thought
final action will be taken on the reso-
luton next Tuesday.
The afternoon session was taken up
almost entirly In consideration of three
bills relating to the agricultural. edu-
cational and mining interests of the
state. The first measure authorizes
school directors or controllers to es-
tabllsh and maintain out of the public
treasury free kindergartens for chill
dren between and years. The bill
passed second reading.
Mr.. Piolett, of Bradford, led the fight
against bill to abolish the state
board of agriculture. and won. Mr..
Nesbit of Northumberland, the author
of the measure, said the board is prac-
TALLY dead and that its days of useful
ness are gone since the establishment
of the department of agriculture. He
is member of the board, and did not
see any use in continuing its existence.
The third bill under consideration re-
duces the salary of the mine inspect
ors in the anthracite region from $4,000
to $4,000 a year. The measure was de-
feated.
The senate passed the bill prevent
ing employers of labor from discrim-
mating against any employees because

FIVE MORE FLOOD VICTIMS.


Memphis, March 19.-Last night the
great food claimed five more victims.
Near Marion Ark. Eta Lix and fief
four children were trying to make their
way to Marion for shelter and while
attempting to cross a railroad trestle
the strong current overwhelmed the
party and all perished. The Oldest child
was girl of 16 years of age and the
youngest an infant of 8 months.
The river Is still rising at Memphis.
and the Indications are that 1t will con-
tinue to do so for some time to come.
The river stands at 369 feet rise
since yesterday morning of 'one-tenth.
The conclusion as to continuation
In the rise Is based upon the fact that
the rise is continuing at Cairo and
that heavy rains are reported In all
districts which feed the big river, both
along the upper portion and the mid
die valley. Throughout the entire
from which swells the volume of water
in the Upper Mississippi, the rainfall
continues. The same conditions pre-
vail In the territory which feeds the
Ohio and other tributaries, while the
heaviest rains of all are descending
over the already submerged Arkansas
territory.
The work Of rescue and relief goes
forward with unabated zeal. Four or
five rescue steamers have arrived here,
bringing several hundred refugees,
nearly all Of whom are destitute, to be
cared for by the charity of Memphis.
The relief committee has its hands full.
AS long as the ovefiow continues funds
will be needed to relieve the pressing
wants of the sufferers.
