CHAPEL STREET DRAwBRIDGE.

No Quorum Last Night at Aldermens
Meeting and the Matter Will be Act
ed on Monday Night.
The aldermen were to have met last
night, but owing to the fact that the
members of the board were busy build
ing fences in the various wards at the
democratic primaries and at the re-
publican caucuses held in several words
only a bare quorum was present and
consequently it was voted to adjourn
until Monday night. At this adjourned
meeting, if quorum is present, the
matter of the Chapel street draw
bridge will be acted upon on the lines
of the suggestions made by the corpo-
ration counsel and submitted at the
last meeting of the aldermen. A reso-
luton will be passed authorizing the
building of the bridge and the order
will be passed undoubtedly as it is
generally understood among the alder
men that the bridge is needed. There
will also be passed probably resolu-
ton authorizing the issuance of bonds
to pay for the bridge.

NO POWER TO INTERFERE.

Middletown, April 4.-The selectmen
held a special meeting to-day to take
final action on the question involving
the taxation of the Meriden, Water-
bury and Connecticut River railroad.
The selectmen at length decided that
they had no power to interfere with
the action of the board Of relief, which
first decided that he company should
not be removed from the tax list, and
later decided that it should be. AS a.
result, the final ruling Of the board of
relief, by which the company will be
removed from the tax list, will stand,
and the property will not be taxed.

leo, who are all in favor of Cuban in
dependence.
Americans in Mexico seem to feel
ashamed of our government for it's
slowness and lack OF spirit.
''In Mexico the feeling is very strong
for Cuban freedom. and this is wit
messed at the bull fights or balloon as
tensions, when the crowds shout for
Cuba Libre. Many saloons and other
public places are named Cuba Libre"
The Mexicans wish that the United
States would interfere in behalf of Gu
ba, but consider us a nation of shop
keepers without any strong national
spirit or sense of honor. When asked
why Mexico did not herself interfere
Mr.. Arvine said that Mexico has only
one warship and that is a schoolship.
In New Orleans and Louisiana the
sentiment in favor of Intervention is
strong. The Picayune and Times Dem
ocrat of New Orleans both favor inter-
vention. The Picayune. the most con-
sentative of the two, favors interven-
ton for the blowing up of the Maine
and refers to Mr.. Mckinley as a weak
man for not having a more decided pol
icy. The Times-Democrat which has
the largest circulation. favors interview
ton on humane grounds. Some sugar
planters fear bad effects from Cuban
sugar, but generally the citizens of the
state fear intervention.

the fat man. Then he went away.
Faces were pressed against the pane;
they shifted, others took their places,
and still that same stony stare, the
same motionless body and immobile
face. Surely no human being could re-
main so still without even the batting
of an eyelid.

that a heart could not beat in the
breast which showed no signs of respir-
alton no matter how closely observed.

awakened it to life. Cheeks that were

Eyes that We're dull and expressionless

resentment, anger. 1t was afterward
recalled by some in the crowd that

woman, and her whole womanly nature
had been aroused by glance, one

her every day. Yet that one look was

motion and marble into flesh.

group of curious had awakened the

The crowd divided its attention be-

A man remarked that he had heard
so much about the benefit of using
Postum Food Coffee that he would try
it and see if the dull pain in his right
side Qiver) would leave. The grocer
said he was all out of Postum, but had
some other Just as good.' He tried it
and found at the end Of a week his
trouble was no better.
A friend told him to insist on getting
the Genuine Postum Food Coffee, as
all of the imitators, having despaired
of producing a pure cereal coffee with
rich coffee taste, he'd to resort to
putting a low grade coffee in their mix
ture and was therefore really drink
ing the very thing he sought to avoid
coffee.
1.-THE next time I called for the gen.

the trademark, 1t makes red blood
The grocer had just received a new
case, so started in on Postum. I had
it made black and rich and boiled
about 20 minutes, and it really has a
softer, richer flavor than any coffee
berry except o. G. Java. Well, in 4
days time my liver pain was gone and
1 felt like a prince. L have two friends
who were entirely cured of distressing
stomach and bowel troubles by Pos
tum. I go back to coffee now and then,

of disease set in, either at stomach,
liver, bowels or heart. So, what's the
use of drinking something that breaks
down the only body 1 have? Common
sense teaches me to stick to Postum

Food sneclalist Brings Ont Novelty.


A food expert at Battle Creek, Mich,
has produced a food especially intended
for rebuilding the brain. 1t is a well
known fact among physicians that ex-
animation of perspiration and urine
will tell whether the individual has
been actively using the brain or not
Brain work exhausts the phosphates
which appear in the eXcreta above
mentioned. Administration of morgan
ic phosphorus or phosphates does not
readily supply the waste, for nature
demands that the phosphates be made
up and blended in the food which she
furnishes. Advantage has been taken
of this knowledge and scientific Sc
lection of part of the grain has been
made, and these have been put through
mechanical processes parallel to the
processes through which food is passed
in it's management by the human diges-
tive organs. Therefore, the new food is
not only ready to serve without cook
ing, but it has passed through the pro-
cess where the starches have been
changed to grape-sugar, and that with
the proteids, organic phosphates, etc,
are at once ready to be quickly absorb
ed and turned to use in vitalizing and
nourishing the parts of the body like
brain, solar plexus and the delicate
nerve centers.
The new food has been given the
name of Grape-Nuts, and far from be-
ing a "Crank's Food "Invalid's Food
or anything of that sort, it is a crisp,
sweet novelty, charming to the athlete,
brain worker, epicure, or invalid.
Grape-Nuts can be had in 15c pack
ages of grocers, and a trial dish for
breakfast will be found a pleasant ex-
perience.
