tion of the fire department at its meet

To the Mayor and Honorable City
Council:
1 desire to call your attention to the
frame buildings owned by the Howard

desire to also call your attention to
the highly inaamm character of
these buildings, which are right in the
very censer of the city and should be
removed
II the owners are allowed to move
the buildings back on the LOT it will
still more endanger property In the

do not remove these buildings, which
are fire menace to the surrounding
property, that you order them cut off
as much as they are In the street
The above property is owned by the

Postum Food Coffee has n well-de-
fined work in rebuilding the nervous
system that has been broken down by
the use Of coffee. This is particularly
noticeable in highly organized indlvid-
uais. The Postum is made from pure
grains. and selected parts that contain
phosphate of potash, are used.
the delicate particles thus obtained
from nature are known by chemists to
unite with the albumen OF food. from
which the gray matter that fills the
brain and nerve centres is made. There
is n true and scientific reason why
Postum Food Coffee strengthens the
user, both mentally and physically, and
these facts can be proven in any case
where trial of ten days or two weeks
will be given. 1t
