not. A short time ago, a relative visit
Ing us from Columbia, Ga. was served
with nice hot cup at breakfast, with
out being told that it was Postum Food
Coffee. After breakfast / asked him how
he liked our coffee. He said he liked It
better than any cup OF coffee he had
ever drank, for It had little peculiar
taste that fitted his palate perfectly.
Ee wanted TO know what brand we
used and told him It was Postum Food
Coffee, no berry coffee at all. He could
not be persuaded that was not teasing
him until got the package and showed
him all about It. He bought quite n lit
tie to take home to his familr.
You may depend upon 1t that the cup
he had was well made and l am very
particular to know that Postum Is boil
ed, for that Is o thing that coffee users
have to learn. They cannot make Pos

whether it has been boiled long enough

able to Complete tho Annual APP
preparation Ordinance Last Night.
The Ten.ccnt Levy Distribution.
A meeting OF the council committee
on finance was to have been held last
night For the purpose of completing the
annual appropriation ordinance, but
owing to inability to secure quorum
the committee did not meet. Messrs.
List, OF the First ward. and Kindelber-
ger. OF the Second ward were out of
the city. and OF the other members of
the committee the only ones present
We're Councilmen Schmidt. OF the
Fourth ward; McMechen, OF the Third
ward, and Bachman, Of the Fifth ward.
As the ordinance need not be COM
pleted necessarily before the next reg
ular meeting Of council there Is no in
convenience through the failure of the
committee to meet. The principal bus
mess TO be transacted BY the commit
tee Is the distribution Of the ten cent
levy fund, OF which each ward vii! re-
ceive s2,S75. The members for the
Sixth, Seventh and Eighth wards have
turned In their reports, and 1t Is said
the other estimates are ready for pres
entat!on when the committee meets.
There Is some dissatisfaction In the
