Numerous Democrats are now in favor
of passing the new city charter. These
same men were not in favor of it when
the Democrats controlled the last Legis.
lature. 1t may be real good thing but
then it would be well enough to postpone
it for another two years and by that
time it is to be hoped that the Republi.
cans will have secured control of both
branches Of the Legislature. The present
city charter is now thought good enough
for the Republicans. We can not but
say that there are some good features in
the proposed new charter and probably
with some alterations it would not be
such a bad charter to give the city. The
municipal control Of the city would be
more systemetized than under the present
charter. Daily Republican.

1t is said that over fifty of the great

CHILDREN'ss FOOD.



Many children at school," said a
student Of children, appear to be
stupid when they are only badly nour-
ished. They may have plenty to eat
without sufficient amount of nour-
ishm4nt. Study will not hurt healthy
child Good hard thinking helps the
circulation of the blood
1t might be added that the lack of
nourishment is owing to ill-advsed
selection of food. Fruit, eggs, some
meat, and good entire wheat bread
with butter, all furnish excellent food
for children.
Never, under any circumstances,
should they be allowed to have coffee.
All narcotics, like cigarettes, or to-
bacco IN any form, coffee, opium prod
ucts, or any of that class of drugs, will
most sadly scar the whole life of a
growing child. Those who seek to as
sist the little ones to grow up strong
and healthy men and women will look
carefully after their food and drink.
1t is unfortunately true that some
parents are careless and ignorant on
this subject and the innocent children
grow up weak in body and brain, easily
knocked over by most any disease that
comes along. Children like a warm
nourishing drink for breakfast, ana
almost universally like Postum Food
Coffee upon which they fatten ana
flourish famously. Parents should see
that it be boiled full fifteen minutes
after boiling commences. 1t is not Suf1-
cient that it has stood on the stove fif-
teen minutes-it must boil that length
of time.
The long boiling is necessary to
bring out the delicious flavor and the
nutritious food elements.

terms that U. S. military forces shall
occupy and establish military form of
government over the city of Manila

date surrender of the Spanish forces
not to Aguinaldo, but to General Mer
rift, and there is apprehension that the
insurgents will resent this very bitterly,
and that it will be necessary to expel
them forcibly,

front OF San Juan Hill has been sent in

first regiment, he says, was unable TO
advance under heavy fire. The gen.
eral praises the gallantry of the regular
troops. The credit for the capture Of
the advanced positions held by the U.

having taken the enemy's colors. The

The Terms OF Peace.

WASHINGTON, Aug 4.-Complete
confidence is still expressed in admins.
tration circles that peace is matter OF
only few days. Failure on the part
OF NJ. Cambon to accept President NC
Kinley's peace terms unreservedly mas
caused no encouragement. The OH
Gals state that there will be an end to
the lighting within week and that the
construction of treaty Of peace, which
will follow the armistice, will be large
" matter of detail. All reports this
morning agree that Spain, while In
formally accepting the Presidents
terms, asked for several concessions.
AS q result of cabinet meeting held on
a government tug while steaming down
the Potomac emphatic responses, most
" in the negative, were made to the re-.
quests of Spain. 1t is now expected
that Spain will formally and promptly
accept the Presidents terms. An an
swer is hoped for by Saturday, but it
may not come until early next week.
SPANS most important request con-
ce-ned this governments intention with
regard 10 Manila. Late last night Sec
rotary Day called at the French embas'
sy 10 say that the United States had de-
cided to permanently retain Manila bay
and city. Other questions raised by
Spain are said to be OF no great import
ancs. They related, it is reported, to
the time in which Spain should evacu-
ate the West Indies and whether the
Spaniards could march out with the
honor5 of war, taking their military
stores with them. Many officials be-
lieve that the worst stage of the trouble
between the United States and Spain
has been passed and that the most i'm.
portant question now relates to the
government of Cuba. Trouble will en-.
sue if the Cuban insurgents claim the
right to take possession of the island
before there has beeu an expression of
opinion by ali the people.

Decisive Battle Expected.

New YORK, Aug. "A special dis
patch from Ponce, under date Of Au-
gust 81, says: American forces from
both front and rear are now closing in
upon Aibonito, where 5000 Spaniards,
strongly entrenched, hold the road toSan
Juan. The decisive battle Of the Porto
Rican campaign will be fought there
within few days. The fanking of the
Spanish army was accomplished by
General Brooke, who proceeded over
the Terito mountains to a position in
the rear of the Spanish force. The
town commands the mountain pass on
the main road between Ponce and San
Juan. The chief attacking army is
now within twenty-five miles of Aibon-
ito, and is steadily advancing along the
main road. The Spauiards are in a
natural position there and their defeat
means giving up possession of the San
Juan road.
