cerned. Invitations will be sent to the Gov

gon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and
North and South Dakota.
First-class Base Desired.
Referring to the vigorous movement
now gathering momentum for an ade
quate naval base at Astoria, Mr.
Struble said yesterday:
"We feel that the campaign for pro--tectlon
of the Columbia- River must be
one of pitiless publicity, because the
military and naval programme of the
country have already been agreed
upon. In these it is proposed to make
Astoria a mere submarine and scout
cruiser base. That the Columbia River
be protected by nothing less than a
first-class naval base is our request."
It is expected that Portland will send
a larsce delegation, while Astoria al
ready has assured the attendance of a
considerable number of delegates.

The Drug, Caffeine,
In Coffee Is A
Habit-Forming Agent
Bulletin 393, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, entitled
"Habit-Forming Agents," refer
ring to caffeine and other ingre
dients used in the manufacture
of certain soft drinks, headache
mixtures, etc., says:
"Until recently it was claimed by
some that these agents were harm
less and did not belong to the habit
forming group. Later investigations,
however, clearly show that this posi
tion is unwarranted."
The average cup of coffee contains about 2Y2 grains of
caffeine. Mothers give it to their children and wives give it to
their husb.ands unconscious of the harm coffee does to
health.
When the nerves cry out, or indigestion, biliousness, headache or heart
flutter begin to trouble, it's time to look to the cause.
An easy, sure way out of coffee troubles is to quit the coffee, and use

There are two forms of Postum. The original Postum Cereal must be
boiled; Instant Postum is quickly solub'e in hot water, more convenient to pre

form, some the other; both are free from the habit-forming drug, caffeine, or

OLD STAGING IS REVIVED
REED COLLEGE STUDENTS PLAN
SHAKESPEAREAN DRAMA.
Elizabethan Theater Will Be Erected
In Gymnasium for Presentation
of Twelfth Night. "
Although Shakespeare has been dead
300 years, he might think that times
do not change much If he should happen
to walk In on the production of his
play, "Twelfth Nigrht," which is to be
friven by the Reed College Dramatic
Club on the evenina- of April LA, and
the afternoon and evening of April 15.
The students are planning to produce
the drama in real Shakespearean style
by remodeling the college gymnasium
into an Elizabethan theater.
The stag-e will be erected In the west
end of the buildingr. and its dimensions
will follow those of the reconstructed
plan of the ancient stasre as given by
Albright, a noted authority on the
Klizabethan theater. The lower stage
will be a rush-strewn platform extend
ing 40 feet from the rear wall, and
above it will rise a smaller, 'balcony
like stage, crowned by a little box-like
haloony from whence the herald blows
three blasts of the trumpet to announce
that the play is about to begin.
There will be no scenery, curtain, or
proscenium, arch, for there were none
In Shakespeare's day. The actors will
be forced to convey the impression of
a scene to the .audience by their acting,
aided perhaps, by a little placard
stating whether it is the Duke's palace
or Olivia's house. As there will be no
scene shifting the acting will continue
from beginning to end without waiting
for "five minutes between acts."
