LARGE FLOW OF HONEY IN PROSPECT IN STATE (United PretilL.’’ervice) Indianapolis, Jan. 23. —At large honey flow is in prospect for Indiana this year, C. O. Yost, State apiarist, predicted today. Yost based his forecast on reports from throughout the State that the clover plants were more hardy and had stored more plant food during the long growing period last fall than in about eight years. The cold has not affected the clover plants so far, he said. The time most ‘o be feared is the freezing and thawi .g season of February and March, which, he said may have some effect upon the crop. Plants are sometimes weakened by the freezing and thawing, partially ejecting the plants roots from the ground, Yost declared. However, he said little fear need bo felt on this account this year, as the plants are unusually healthy. To prepare for the increased harvest of honey, Yost suggested that bee keepers buy necessary equipment in anticipation of the rush of work which , will be caused by the yield. He also advocated strengthening weak colonies at this time by the purchase of a few pound packages of bees to add to the hives. A one pound package added now to a weak colony will enable the keeper to have a good colony in time for the cloverflow. o Acquitted Os Murder Mineola, L. I. Jan. 23. —William M.

What's the . Reason F I IN thousands of homes where one or more of the family are nervous and irritable, the cause may be hidden—hard to understand. But usually, “There’s a Reason.” t r Doctors and dietitians are very generally agreed that people who are nervous or suffer with digestive disturbances should not drink - coffee or tea because these beverages contairra drug, caffeine, and their use tends to increase nervous irritability. i Many of us just drift into wrong habits of eating and drinking, though we usually know better. So if there are nervous ones in your , family, suppose you make a change—serve Postum for thirty days. I Postum is a pure cereal beverage. It furnishes all the pleasure of a hot drink—cheery warmth • and good flavor.
