Jewett City Officers Trace Suspects.
Jewett City officers were in Daniel
son during the early hours of Monday
searching for the burglars who at
tempted to rob the postoffice safe in
that place and are responsible for the
death of Constable Patrick B. Driscoll.
The Jewett City men came here in an
automobile, endeavoring to find what
value there was in a report that the
cracksmen were loitering about this
town.
A man answering the description ob
tained of one of the burglars fitted a
transient and disreputable looking per
sonage who has been in Danielson for
a time since the attempted burglary,
but there seems little reason to believe
that he had anything to do with the
break. This suspicious character ap
peared in the office of the Attawaugan
hotel as soon as the doors were opened,
about 5 o'clock, Monday morning. He
wanted something to eat and was ap
parently willing to pay for it, but was
not Served.

On and after March 4,-when the new
eight hour law governing the work of
postal employes becomes effective,
first and second class offices will not
be allowed to work their clerks or car

This seems to be a hard proposition

riers have been working eight hours.
but the eight hours were within 13
consecutive hours; clerks here have
been working an average of nine hours
and 15' minutes, within 13 1-2 consecu
tive hours.
Figuring to use the present working
force at the Putnam office in such a
way as to meet the requirements of
the new regulations is the most diffi
cult problem he has faced since he has
been in office here. Postmaster Letters
said Monday. When the provisions of
the law requiring.that the eight hours
of work be done'by employes within
ten consecutive hours is complied with
it means quite a little more help or an
impaired service in this city.
At present the clerks that go on duty
at 6.30 a. m. end their work at 4.30
m.. the carriers tnat go on amy at
7.35 a. m. ending their work for the
day at 5.35 p. rn. Postmaster Letters
has made recommendations to "Wash
ington relative to what is needed in
Putnam to keep the local service up
to -its present standard of efficiency
and is awaiting the result of the same.
The matter has been called to the at
tention of Senator Brandegee and Con
gressman Higgins. Postmaster betters

When You Buy Coffee, You Buy Caffeine
and caffeine is the subtle but vicious drug
in coffee that irritates the heart, impairs di
gestion and upsets the nerves.
Each cup contains from IV2 to 3 grains of this habit-forming, health-destroying
drug.
So far as known no coffee is sold today (however processed or prepared) that
is free from caffeine.
If c&ffee is "getting" you, and if you wish to. leave the headache,
biliousness, indigestion and nervousness of coffee-drinking behind, the
safe and easy way is to quit coffee and use
This richly flavored table beverage tastes much like the higher
grades of true Oriental Java, but is guaranteed absolutely
pure and free from caffeine or any other harmful element.
