Mrs. Rorer's Reply in Ladies' Home
journal.

Il consider, coffee as il is usually made
in the American family-stronE and from
the pure beall-au injurious drink, espec-
iaIlv for nervous people.
No dCaibt the student to whom YOU re-
fer can study better after taking Il cup
of coffee, but the new energy is caused
by a stimunut, the effects of which will
soon wear oil, leaving him lower in ner-
Vous force
That Is the reason he has headache and
feels So miserable when he is without cof-
Zee. If It is only the hot drink he re-
uuires. why not take a cup of clear hot
water or "A cup of Cereal Coffee"

maps. which showed the races. the re-

viewed the ancient history of Asia Prof.
AcGee said that siN-tenths Of the whole
population Of the world lived in Asia
that the history Of the human race in
that continent was Of greater interest
than her physical history, and that her
inhabitants knew the use of tools and
tho value OF industry long before the
advent Of the Romans To world notice.
Prof McGee added: IL is to Asia the
that history ever knew. Most Of the
known languages originated I'm ! sia y

A RECOUNT IN ANNE ARUNDEL.
Eleven Census Odicc Employees De-
tailed for the Work.

Director Merriam last night despatched
eight selected employees of the Census Of
flee to Anne Arundel County, Md. Three
additional employees will leave for the
same county this morning. They will
make Il new enumeration of the inhabi-
tants of the county and compare it with
the lists submitted by enumerators who
are suspected of padding the census re-
turns. 1t seems fraud has been charged
in the census returns from Anne Arundel
County, as in ST. Mary and Charles coun-
ties. in which cases an investigation is
now in progress. The recount of Anne
Arundel County will probably take about
two weeks
Anne Arundel County is in the Con-
gressional district represented by the
Hon. Sidney Mudd The extent of the
frauds Is not known. At the Census Bu-
reau IT is said merely that sufficient
number of false names has been detected
to warrant the recount ordered. 1t is
known, however. that the eleven enumer-
ators are nearly all under suspicion of
having done their work carelessly, to say
the least. and that the whole number of
dead names reported is well up in the
hundreds The methods adopted were
identical with those In st. Mary County.
The authentic lists were made out in ap-
parent good faith and all the false names
were added in supplementary schedules.
No further arrests have been ordered.
but the Bureau is expected not to permit
any false returns to pass unpuniShed in
view OF the attitude toward the alleged
Offenders in st. Mary County. Director
Merriam says now, as he said when the
earlier discoveries were announced, that
every enumerator against whom fair
accusation is made will be prosecuted.

HARRY WILBUR HEARD FROM
The Missing Secrctary Writes His

The protracted silence of Harry c. Will
bur. Private Secretary to Health officer
Woodward, who disappeared from his
home several days ago. was broken
yesterday Mrs. Wilbur received a let
ter from her husband dated at Norfolk
and containing some brief suggestions
concerning family matters. Wilbur did
not assign any cause for his absence nor
did he mention any plans for returning
home. The tenor of the epistle led the
police to suspect that the missing secre-
tary may be demented. They at once
telesraphed the Norfolk police TO locate
the missing private secretary, but at
late hour had not been advised that Will
bur was in custody. a reply is expected
this morning.
The letter from Wilbur did not give any
address, but was written on ,aper OF

Every effort TO locate him is being made
by the authorities of the Virginia city
Health Officer Woodward is taking
personal interest in the search for his

to suggest. either as to a motive for the
absence of Wilbur, or where he may be
found. DR. Woodward was informed OF

HAZLETON. Pa, April 2.-Despite

Mine Workers and of the coal opera
| tors, recently, there is an impression
gaining ground in the coal regions that
! peace will not be maintained for long.
and labor troubles at various colieries
are imminent.
That the companies are expecting
such contingency and taking what
| they consider proper precautions TO
meet it was evidenced by action today
by Cexe Brothers e Co. Of Dritton,
the next largest individual operators in
the Hazieton region.
They locked out the men employed at
their Oneida colliery and also sent
home all working at their No. I Stock
ten colliery. One of the officials said
that il was true the company had
locked the men out at Oneida: that
trouble was brewing. and not many
days would pass by before the storm
would break.
when tho man quoted was asked
whether the same methods would be
applied at the other collieries Of the
company, he hesitated a moment, and
then replied:
well not just at the present time"
The cause of the lockout, the men
say, was that the company wished to
hoist rock and timber between the
hours of and in the morning, and
would not lower the miners in the
workings during these hours. Some of
the nlen refused to walk down the
main way and returned home, where
upon the foreman locked them all out.
Representatives of the Mine Work
ers' Union subsequently asked the fore
man to revoke the order, but he re-
FUSED to do SO. Attempts on the part
Of the men to see Superintendent Kud-

The union miners say that the COM
pany is resorting to such methods N
order to provoke a strike. thus putting

upon the men.

ALASKA'S POSTAL PROBLEM.
Difficulties Presented for the Garry.
ing of Newspapers.

The PoStoftice Department has two
questions to solve growing out of the
establishment of newspapers in Alaska.
\ little paper of the frontier type has
been started at Valdez on Prince William
Sound, which place has suddenly acquir-
ed importance on account of the tribu-
tary mining regions. The mails in
Alaska in winter are restricted in volume
on account of the difficulties of trans
portatiun by dog teams, and the post
master at Valdez tnought the newspaper
at Valdez should not be carried at all,
even though sealed up in envelopes under
first-class postage. The question before
the department is whether it has right
to know officially whether a sealed enve-
lOpe contains = newspaper or not when
letter postage is paid.
The Alaska Forum a tiny news
paper published at Rampant, ON the Yu
kon, near the Arctic Circle, has applied
for the pound mail rate, Within tile

there are no counties in Alaska the local
postmaster has applied to Washington
for a settlement of the difficulty.
