Domestic use of Cassava.

Prof. II. z. Stockbridge. of the Florida
agricultural experiment station, has late
ly been making some tests of the cassava
roots, which will doubtless prove of great
value to the people of Florida. The fol-
lowing is an extract from his book on cas-
sava:

POSTUM CEREAL.
GOOD COFFEE MAKER.
Eznerience With the Berry.

II have gained twenty-five pounds
since I left off coffee and began drink

Z had become very thin in flesh and
suffered tortures with heartburn, was
nervous wreck with headache practl-
cally all the time until one dreadful day
when the good doctor told me l must
quit drinking coffee, as he had nothing
left 70 try TO relieve me.
Il could not drink tea and had tried
everything else even Postum, but put
it by at the first trial, because it was
o. Jasteless.
Forced to it again, 1 determined to
see IL II could not be made palat-
BILE and found at once that when L
followed directions and boiled it long
enough that not only liked 1t but gave
il to my husband for several days with
out his finding it out. I have the name
Of making splendid coffee, and we al
zyays used the best but of late have
given Postum TO guests many times in
place Of coffee and have never been de-
tected yet.
"Our four children have not drunk
coffee for three years, and all have
gained health and flesh since using
Postum. one son, who was always
sick. has been greatly benefited by its
use. and as above stated have gained
twenty-five pounds since taking Pos

Public Buildings-The following new
public buildings should be construct
ed at the earliest possible period: City
and County Hospital, Hospital for
Contagious Diseases, public school
buildings where necessary, Fire De
partment buildings and equipments In
such outside districts as are without
fire protection.
Placing of Wires Undergrounds-The
present ordinance for removal of poles
and placing underground electric wires
within the prescribed district should
be strictly enforced.
Street Cleaning-The present system
. of street cleaning should be main
tanned and improved.

lying districts.
Street Sprinkling-The business
streets in all portions of the city

been laid on many Of the principal
streets. The association does not con-
slider that its mission is more than be-
gun, for yesterday its directors met
and laid out the following programme
of improvements to be advocated and
accomplished during the ensuing year:
Civil Service-The successful opera
ton of our future city government
depends largely upon the just enforce
ment of the provisions of article Kill
upon civil service in the new charter.
These provisions should be faithfully
executed. The Mayor will be asked to
appoint as civil service commissioners
only public-spirited citizens of the
highest character, who are known to
be sincerely devoted to civil service
principles, and who will carry out the
civil Service provisions of the new
charter in a fair and impartial man.

Sewer System-The plan for COM
plete and permanent new sewer syS-
tenn, now being prepared by the pres
ent sewer commission, should be COM
pleted and the necessary provisions
should be made for Immediately pro-
ceeding with the construction OF mod

tions of the system as the sewer COM

the job, and the chances are that the
transport viii be turned back TO her own
ers.
The transport Glenogle was to have
had her boilers retubed. She will now
go out as she is as the transport inspec-
tor has passed her. The Glenogle, being
a British ship, will have her boilers re-
tubed in Hongkong before coming back
here. The Sherman will leave to-day at
p. m. What little work remained 10
be done on her boilers was performed by
the crew. The Sheridan will sail on the
29th, and her repairs will probably be
made in Nagasaki. The Zealandia Is TO
go out on October 3, but there may be a
delay on her owing TO the strike. The
Grant went TO the quarantine station yes
terday and will probably come back Sun
day and may get away next Tuesday or
Wednesday.
The Zealandia, which arrived with the
Montana boys yesterday, had a fine
weather trip all the way from Manila.
She would have reached port early yes
terday had it not been for a slight break
down in the machinery. She left Yoko-
hama sixteen hours after the Valencia
with the remainder of the Montana boys
aboard. The Valencia should therefore
reach here early to-day. Both vessels
will be sent back to Manila as quickly
as they can be got ready.
The hospital ship Relief was alongside
the transport Sherman yesterday and
transferred all the medical stores she
had aboard for Manila About 200 tons
of coal will replace the stores in the Re
lief and then she will sail for Manila
via Guam.

TRANSPORTS TO
LEAVE WITHOUT
BOILER REPAIRS
They Will Have Work
Done Elsewhere.

The boilermakers held a largely attend
ed meeting yesterday afternoon in their
hall on the corner of Second and Fol
som. 1t was at first stated that a gen
eral strike had been ordered; that all the
men had left the Risdon and Fulton iron
works while those engaged on various
Jobs along the front had been called out.
There was no foundation for the rumor,
however, as all that was required was
the attendance Of every boilermaker in
the union. The conference lasted over
TWO hours and then a committee was
sent out TO inform the managers of the
various iron works that there would be
no change in mercantile marine work.
The men agree 10 work nine hours for
ten hours pay on outside work and for
the usual scale on shop work.
On transports, however, or on vessels
that come here under charter to the Gov
ernment the scale will be eight hours
work for ten hours pay and twenty-six
hours pay for eleven hours overtime.
In consequence there are no boilermak-
ers working on any Of the transports,
nor will there be until the strike or lock-
out is settled.
The first fruit Of the trouble came TO
light Yesterday The steamer Manuense
IS here, ready for acceptance by the Gov
ernment as a transport. She was in
spected yesterday and IL was found neces-
eary 10 do considerable work on her boil
ers Owing TO the existing state of af-
fairs no one will take the contract to do

under his breath and gave other evidences
indicating that he knew his prosecutor.

truth, honesty and integrity" asked
Prosecuting Attorney Low.
'Nery bad" testified Dr. Bostwick.
Put him on the bum, Judge" rejoined
the indignant bird, but the Judge pretend

After considerable reflection Judge Con
Ian concluded TO give Mrs. Alexander's
parrot another chance to become de-

quite early In the morning, perhaps some
time before the court officials were out

placed the bird on the table.

he entered the room.

THE KENNEDY MURDER.

Warren Main, bartender in the saloon
at 232 Third street, who shot and killed
William Kennedy in the saloon Thursday
afternoon, was instructed and arraigned
IN Judge Grahams court yesterday on
the charge of murder. The case was con-
tinued till next Wednesday, pending the
result of the CorOner's inquest.
The police are still working on the case,
but nothing has developed 10 show that
the shooting was anything but the re-
suit of personal differences. Main claims
that the cause of Kennedy's animosity
toward him was because he found him
