Many people become coffee topers before

described even By a close friend.
1t will pay anyone to examine carefully
into whether or not coffee has gained the
mastery over them. A coffee topper may
suspect that his OF her ails come from
coffee drinking. but they will Invariably
charge the disease to some other cause, for
right dow In the heart they realize that
it would be practically impossible to give
up coffee. so they hope against hope that
Il does not hurt them. but It goes on with
its work just the same and the result is
complete collapse and nervods prostraaion,
lasting sometimes for years. unless the
poison that causes the disease is discon-
tinued.
There are hundreds OF thousands Of illus
trations Of the truth OF this statement.
Any person addicted to coffee can make
the change from common coffee to Postum
Food cohee without trouble provided the
Postum IL properly prepared 30 as to bring

MONTGOMERY. Ala, March ~s.-Captain
Charles A. Allen and his brother, Thomas
Allen were drowned in the bsckwaters Of
the Alabama river today. The young men
were driving along a high e~mbankment
with backwater about fifteen feet deep on
each side. A heavy breaker from the
three-mile wide river dashed against the
~embankment and frightened their horse.
which reared up and fell backwards on
the buggy, pushing It and its occupants
into the deep water. Both were drowned

DELAWARE RIVER ovERFLoWs
Register Fourteen Feet Above Nor
NAL Tide and Threaten
Great Danger.

TRENTON, N. j.. March 2.-The Della
ware river reached its greatest height
here about 3 p. m. At that time It was
fourteen feet above the normal level. The
river is full of Ice and the water is rush
Ing through In torrents. Thousands of
people visited the river banks today.
Very little damage is being done by the
rise in the river, as far as the actual de-
struction of property is concerned. Fair
street In Trenton and Mill street in Nor
~risville, which are along the river edge,
are overlooked at their lowest point and
some twenty-five families are obliged to
use boats to get to and from their homes.
The basement Of the print mill of Goldlng
Sons a Co. is flooded and the company is
obliged to cease operations. This is the
only manufacturing plant in Trenton that
is seriously affected by the flood.
The lowlands on both the New Jersey and
Pennsylvania sides of the river are over
flowed, and tracks of the Amboy division
Of the Pennsylvania between Bordentown
and Trenton are under water and the
operation of the road has been suspended.
1t is reported that the tracks at Kinkora
are also covered and that there is no train
service between Bordentown and Florence.
Information was received here this aft
erDoon Of a washout on the Belvidere rail-
road near Lambertville, and doubt is ex-
pressed as to the ability to get through
the evening train from Trenton from Phil
lipsburg. The Assantink creek, which
empties into the Delaware river near the
business section Of this city is very high
at its mouth because Of the great height
OF the river, and the cellars of a number
OF stores and dwellings along the creek
are flooded. At 8 o'clock the water had
fallen nearly a foot.

BOSTON. March 2.-FIood reports are
general tonight from every part OF New
England. The indications in eastern New
England are that the freshets will not do
anything like the damage the high water
in the early winter did. unless the thaw
continues heavy and without a break over
the Watersheds Of the Penobscot, Kennebec
and Androscoggin rivers.
In southern New England, and especially
Massachusetts,, the snow has gone entirely
and the thaw Is thus ended. The damage
done n likely to come is along the
streams. which turn the wheels OF mills
employing in the aggregate 100, 900 opera
tives or more. Scores of mills are likely
to DO idle tomorrow and possibly for a few
DAYS.
