COFFEE WHIPS UP
 AND CONSUMES
 RESERVE ENERGY
investigators Declare Continued Use of Coffee Works Disaster to Nerv-
 ous System.

Does the daily use of coffee as a beverage. continued for a series of years, do harm?"
 Yes" says Dr. w. A. Evans in the Chicago Tribune. "A horse cannot be whipped daily for years without be- ing harmed. A man cannot be nagged continuously for years without being harmed. The very fact that. when fatigue Is slowing down muscles and brain cells coffee will whip them on, and that under the stimulus of coffee the working capacity is unduly excit- cd, is proof that harm will come if the process is kept up for series of years
 Fatigue is a danger signal" adds another investigator. Tt means that the weary body should immediately seek rest Caffeine in any form puts a mask on this signal, and temporari- ly conceals it by whipping up the re- serve forces and then consuming them.
 Fatigue is like a red light that calls attention to ditch in the dark Nobody with common sense would aS- sume for a minute that by putting out the light the ditch would be removed Yet that is exactly what weary peo- pie do when they disguise their weart- ness for an hour by resorting to stim- ulants."
 NOTE-It is interesting to observe that as medical science more and more reveals the harmfuIness of coffe to tho health of both old and young there follows a tremendous increase in tht use of the pure food beverage, POS YUM,

Remedy Freight Car shortaa..

Informal complaints to the commis- sion indicate that the annually recur- ring failure of transportation facili- ties known as car shortage is again appearing. The commission urges on ali shippers and all carriers that close attention to methods of loading, un- loading. moving and promptly return ing to use the cars now available will go far toward making the present sup ply of cars sufficient for, all purposes. The failure of car, supply is usually a failure of ear movement, The con gestion of terminals ise sethe ever present feature at times of such failure. The con1mission therefore urges carriers to make every possible endeavor to i'm prove their. methods of operation of terminals in order that cars may move promptly. Also company material should be unioaded with the same des-
 patch that is required of shippers.

'ST ELMO" WELL
 GIVEN AT POLPS

The perennial favorite, est. Elmo." based on the novel by Augusta Evans Wilson, is presented this week at Polls Hartford theater, by the Poli Players with a great deal of skill con- sidering the difficulty of the parts as played before an audience in the year 1915. It takes an actress Of some merit to portray a e-V1ctorlan heroine and to present the character in such a way that it does not become ludicrous through too close repre- scntation Yet Marguerite Skirvin, in te part of Edna Earl, the blacksmith s daughter accOmplishes this. To the super-sophisticated matinee girl of the present day the sweet young thing of the late-Victorian period whose knowledge of the world was supposed to be represented mostly by the minus sign, is apt to seem humorous. But Miss Skirvin, through her naivete, her careful handling of the declamatory parts and her skill generally is not overdoing the emOtionalism of her lines, carries her audience with her through a difficult part and a part which, in some hands, would be the height of humor through its absurd characterization.
 The parts are well taken. Harry Hollingsworth, as St. Elmo Murray, the cynic redeemed by the country girl; and Welba Lestina, as Agnes Powell, his cousin, both handle their parts we'll particularly the difficult emotional roles. Eveta Francis, as Tabitha, chews gum most delightfully."-. Forrest Seabury, this time as the darkey servant, is very funny and Withal very convincing Ben MacQuarrie portrays the late Victorian minister we'll Even late Victorian ministers, however, did not pronounce "duty" "chuty'' The other parts are we'll taken, although the seconds in the duel seem to take it as an awful matter of course. Cor don Leight, who is Roy Phillips, is very good disappointed lover.

Tabs Appear on Jackets of Newest
 Suits at Various Unexpected Places Where Formerly Single Tab Fastened Jacket Now There is Row of Them-New Box Coat Very
 Attractive.

Which shall have place on the new costume for spring, the tab or the turret? Of course, it is permissible to have both, but to use one or the others as distinctive detail makes the suit look smarter. The charm about the tab is that it may go in any direction, wheras the turret goes up or down, but generally is inverted from the position which it takes architecturally
 Tabs appear on the jacket of the newest suits at various unexpected places. In former season a single tab was to be found fastening jacket at it's throat, bust or waist. Now 1t IS not unusual to find a TOW of them clos ing coat from top to bottom, and where one tab formerly sufficed for a sleeves wrist a line of them now eX- tends almost to the elbow.
 Fetching Box Coat from Paris.
 These fastenings, outlining a jackets fronts, give the garment as much Ornamentation as it needs, especially ii it is one of those new box coats, scarcely covering the waist line, which go so perfectly with the f1arring side pleated skirts. Quite .themost appeal ing of the taffeta suis among the late from Paris has one of these fascinating skirts, topped by a box coat, whose tab-closed front deco ratiVe scheme is repeated between the wrists and the elbows on the close ly fitted sleeves.
 Those sleeves are set into low dropped arm eyes belonging, however, only to the coats side sections, which are joined to it's back and front by overlapping seams slanting inward from the shoulders to the waist

nape of the neck, turns backward as a single square. Under the ears the same plan is followed, but beneath the chin the fronts turn away as triangu- lar reVers.
 Turrets on a Green Covert Suit.
 What turrets-the inverted sort will do toward breaking the monotonv of a jacket is a1nazing Take that familiar model beloved by women who long to look slender, the hip-length coat, and slit it's basque fronts into tCrrets, beginning at the waist. The result is long lines that make for a. slender effect, emphasized by a. stitched outline. Callot has adonted tEis method in recently launched model of dark green covert. The coat is fitted under each arm by three darts, running to the top of a tri- angular tab at the waist line. But these, tabs start half way from the center of a straight back, which is considerably longer than the front. The fronts, closing under Iow-rolled revers, meet at the waist beneath a double tab-fastened half belt, below which start a pair of broad turrets.
 The only buttons on this coat are purely ornamental, since they appear as rows of green horn disks. defining the front edges of the side sections of the basque, while the only buttonholes belong to row of buttons on the overlapped left front of the skirt. De- spite the presence of these buttons and slits, the skirt fastens under the OVerlapped seams at the center of the back. It is not full, as skirts go this spring, nor does it look scant, al though it's shallow gathers are at the sides only. But it is precisely the skirt to wear with the turreted jacket and one which discriminating women will like.
