smoke was seen TO rise from Vesuvius,
and the eruption was portrayed with fire.

After this followed a special display Of
frpw orks. One Of the new ideas was a
goldenrod sunburst done in fire. Another
feature was a couple Of wooden elephants
outlined in fire which cavorted around to
the delight Of the audience.
The hit Of the evening was a good sized
house on fire. To extin guish the blaze a
fire engine, team and men, outlined and
made Of fire, appeared. Water, represented
by a yellow fire. was thrown on and the
blaze extin glished.

It's easy to understand how ordinary
people get fooled by coffee when doctors
themselves sometimes forget the facts.
A physician speaks Of his own expert

Il had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was injuring me
although / had palpitation Of the heart
every day.
Finally one day a severe and almost
fatal attack OF heart trouble frightened
me and / gave up both tea and coffee, US
ing Postum instead and since that time
l have had absolutely no heart palpitation
except on one or two occasions when |
tried a small quantity Of coffee which
caused severe irritation and proved to me
/ must let it alone.
when we began using Postum it seemed
weak-that was because We did not make
il according to directions-but now we put
a little bit of butter in the pot when boil
ing and allow the Postum to boil full is
minutes which gives it the proper rich favor
and the deep brown color.
Il have advised a great many OF my
friends and patients to leave of coffee
and drink Postum, in fact l daily give
this advice Name given by Postum Co.,

Many thousands OF physicians use
Postum in place Of tea and coffee in their
own homes and prescribe it to patients.

MUSICAL BUBBLE on THE ROOF

OF the decadence Of the musical comedy

which has stars overhead, pretty lights
and cool breezes in its favor.
The scene is aid at Maxim's. The pro-
gramme says that it is in Paris and the back

OSSINING STAYS A VILLAGE.
Proposition TO Make 1t a City Badly Beaten
Gen. McAlpln Gets a Setback.

Oss1N1NG, n. " June 25.-This village is
celebrating tonight the defeat at the polls
in the special election to-day OF the PROPOSE
ton to make it a city under the general
Charter law OF the State. A majority Of
545 was rolled up against changing the form
Of government. The present charter was
granted in 1913 and the general sentiment
Of the villagers is that it will not be super
seeded until it has done duty for a century
at least.
In the election for Commissioners Of
Permanent Improvement the Municipal
Ownership ticket, headed by Gen. Edward
A. McAlpin, received a bad beating. The
General and his colleagues, Henry Gerlaoh
and Charles Mitchell, were each about two
hundred votes shy Of the totals cast for the
successful candidates, William Barlow,
Carroll S. Stevens and William S. Coleman.
Altogether about fifteen hundred votes were
cast.
The result of the election is looked upon
as a demonstration Of George Fisher Secor's
efficiency as leader Of the Republican Or
ganjzation.

time. Charles Reber, a musician, ran back
in the flames to the second floor to get his
