 Mir. Trumbo reported typhus fever rampant throughout southern and cen- tral Mexico. Conditions as to filth and Restitution were indesc-ibable, he said.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
 CLAIM LusITANIA INDEMNITY
Final Decision will Rest With Score
 tary Lansing.

Washington. Jan. 21.-Notice that several life insurance companies will claim a part of any indemnity Ger many may pay on account of the loss of life on. the Lusitania has raised a question for which state department officials say there is no precedent. Heirs of many of the Lusitania victims already have presented claims. Final decision as to whether insurance com pany claims on account of policies paid out shall take precedence will rest with Secretary Lansing.
 Officials pointed out today that where insurance was paid on cargo, indemnity for it's destruction usually went to the insurance companies rath- CT than to the owners, but it was said there were many arguments in justi- fiscation of different course in the case of loss of life.
 Germany has offered indemnity for the Lusitania victims, but acceptance by the United States hinges upon the outcome of negotiations now in prog ress for the settlement of all issues growing out of the tragedy.

The Best Proof 
 That Coffee Hurts
TALES THAT ARE TOLD

T was one of the kind who wouldn't believe that coffee was hurting me-" says a N. r. woman You just couldn't convince me it's use was con- nected with the heart and stomach trouble suffered from most all of the tine." (Tea contains caffeine-the same drug found in coffee. and is just as harmfu1.) My trouble finally got so bad had to live on milk and toast almost entirely for three or four years. Still loved the coffee and wouldn't believe 1t could do such damage.
 What I needed was to quit coffee and take nourishfnent in such form my stomach could digest. I had read much about Postum, but never thought 1t would fit my case until one day decided to quit coffee and give it a trial and make sure about it. So got package and carefully followed the directions.
 Soon I began to get better and was able to eat carefully selected foods without the aid of pepsin or other di- gests and 1t was not long before was really new woman physically.
 Now am healthy. hearty and sound, can eat anything and every thing that comes along, and I know this wonderful change is all due to my having quit coffee and got the delicious Postum in place of the dam gcrous coffee and tea.
 My wonder is why everyone don't give up coffee and the troubles that go with 1t nrd build themselves up as ] have done, with Postum." Name given by Poatufn Go. Battle Creek, Mich.
 Easy to prove by 10 days trial of Pceturn in place of coffee The re- wnrd is big and worth the test

 Plate Glass Window Broken.
 One of the plate glass windows in the postoffice was broken Wednesday. It is the window that was put in to re- place broken one about three weeks ago. It is not known just what is re- sponsible for the break, as it broke when no one was near it.

SERv.US MINCE MEAT

Package condensed mfnce meat is made up today of the best quality of dried fruit and other items which can be found, all of which are found in of spices and entrants. The study of packing condensed nince meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 years and today is as near it's perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation in the factories in which 1t is packed is beyond reproach as the competition today in these lines necessitates the guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State, where in our opinion Is grown the best favored apple known. The raisins used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procuring the very highest grade of spices. and sugar. as we all know, is always sugar. the different grades merely representing the differ-x ent navors or different granulation re-. Quired for different purposes. Every particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of mince meat is thoroughly cleaned and hand picked by people trained to know what should and should not be used and in this manner the article comes to the house. wife cleaner by far than she could own kitchen. regardless of how clean 1t may be, and make up the filler for her nlince pie. The old idea of dirt being prevalent in quantity is today disputed by the greatest authorities on food products The meat used In rnince meat Is of the choicest and to- day the same corn-beef which you and would use on our table is what Is being used in Serv-uB Mince Meat There are very few pies made which can be used as handfly by the house. wife as naince meat for all it requires Is a little water and being heated for ten minutes and it is ready for the crust and then the table and she may without fear of loss carry three or four packages of rnfnce meat in her pantry, having 1t ready At any time for the chance occurrence Of unexpect- ed company and it will be a sood dessert free from dirt It Is our thorough belief that a mfnce meat pie made from condensed mfnce meat is about as cheap a dessert as can be prepared and yet as good.
 For many years rnince meat Wal considered a winter dish Bach yea for the last ten our factory has hat to increase its capacity during the summer months until today 1t rt1na every day of the year with a regular force of helpers. We ship goods to every part of the country the entire increase in the use of these goods over when n1incs meat was eaten only in the winter months which means an tn- creased sale over the former winter consumption.
