DOCTOR KNEW

much coffee and mother told him that

drinking coffee and drink Postum in
its place. as he and his family had
used Postum and found 1t a powerful
rebuilder and delicious food-drink.
x hesitated for time, disliking the
idea of having to give up my coffee, but
finally got a package and found It to
be all the doctor said.
"Since drinking Postum in place OF
coffee my dizziness, blindness and
nervousness are all gone. my bowels
are regular and am well and strong.

Then the earth shook with fearful

From all the American ships, and
from those of the spaniards, great

Of death and destruction. The sky

Perhaps the most candid criticism

by king himself. There is that story
Of George III. who, leaving the lords
after opening parliament, turned to
his lord chancellor with the remark:
Lord chancellor. did deliver the
speech well?"
VERY well indeed. sir" was the re-
ply.
II am glad Of that" said the king,
"for there was nothing in It,"
George II. too, did not always feel
himself bound to praise his ministers'
efforts. In 1856. for instance, when q
spurious speech was circulated, he
pleaded for mercy for the printers of
it, because. he said, he had compared
the spurious with the real, and, so far

FIGHTING AGAINST
GRANT OF LICENSES
IN FRANKLIN COUNTY
W. c. T. u. and Ministers Hold
Prayer Meeting and March
to Court Room
Special to The Telegraph

Chambersburg, Pa, Feb. 16. - The
most interesting license court ever held
in Chambersburg began this morning
and will last all week. OF the thirty
six applicants for licenses for old
stands, thirty-four had charges filed
against them, specifying improper
certifiers, selling to minors or drunk
ards Five leading attorneys, headed
by A. J. w. Hutton and d. Edward
Long, represented the remonstrants,
and the remainder of the Franklin
county bar, almost without exception,
was retained by the applicants.
A schedule for the cases was made
by Judge Gillian and Hotels Washing
ton, Montgomery, National, Mckinley
and Wallace and Vanderaus cases
weer heard to-day. Other cases are set
for later dates. The Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union and ministers
held union prayer meeting on sun
day afternoon and this morning met
at a central church and marched
across the square to the courtroom.
The court was crowded to suffocation.
The Hotel Washington case came
first. 1t was shown that two of the
certifiers had not paid taxes here.
Then ten minors swore to getting
drinks. Three witnesses, who will be
used in nearly every case, are boys of
II to. 10, High School pupils, who
went from bar to bar all over the
county and bought whisky in bottles.
The attempt to discredit these boys
was stopped by Judge Gillian. At IL
a. m. the Vanderaus case was called.

ed to the Postal Telegraph office, told
Mr.. Bailey his troubles; and asked II
he could send his savings to Italy by
cable before the sale took place. Mr..
Bailey at once got in touch with the
New York office, made arrangements

saved when he will go home to live
the remainder of his days on the

Wants Appropriation Of
$4,000 to Begin Work on
Wiping Out Illiteracy
By Associated Press

Washington, d. c., Feb. 16.-Amer-
ica's adult illiteracy, described as a
national disgrace, can be wiped out
by the time the next Federal census
is taken if the woork is undertaken
at once, according to DR.. p. p. Clax-
ton, United States Commissioner OF
Education, in statement to-day. This
assertion is made In connection with
an appeal by the commissioner for an
appropriation by Congress of $4,000
with which to eradicate illiteracy in
this country.
I'VE now have declared DR.. Clax-
ton, more than five million illiterate
men and woman and many millions
barely able to read and write. This
illiteracy is a burden and a menace
to state and nation. 1t costs the
country at least half billion dollars
every year. An appropriation of $10,-
600 would make is possible to begin
the work of wiping out this national
disgrace. and the cooperation of the
States, school officers. and educational
association would be such that after
1920 we would be able to show prac-
tically clean slate"

Best Spenders Are
Not Necessarily Best
People, Says Kunkel

Chaney Robinson, aged II, was be-
fore the Dauphin County Court to-
day charged with larceny as clerk. His
case had been continued from last
week. Robinson was detected steal
ing 10 cents from local department
store and afterward confessed to hav-
ing stolen S25. The fact that he be-
longed to an exclusive club had be-
come mixed up with loan sharks, etc.
were reasons given for his escapade
President Judge Kunkel called at
tention to the fact that travelling with
the best people at Robinson's counsel
put it. didn't mean people that were
the best spenders. George r. Lock
wood pleaded to carrying concealed
deadly weapons. Robinson was re-
leased under suspension and under
bond and Lockwood was sent to his

were in court as witnesses in the
equity proceeding instituted by the
Rev. N. D. Vuchevich, the rector.
The rector had been dismissed by the
anti Vuchevich faction of the church
council, he contended, and he wanted
to know why he can't be retained ac-
cording to his contract.
President Judge Kunkel pointed out
that the congregation cannot take the
law into their own hands and advised
that they get together and settle their
differences lawfully. After a confer
ence between counsel it was decided
that a congregational meeting should
be held and the question of dropping
the rector should be settled then. In
the meantime the rector is to get back
his job and the people of the church
are to be allowed to worship. The
case was continued, to March 8.
