FILIPINO CHINESE
Approval of Suggestions for the Con
 trol of Their Movements.

Washington. Nov 11.-Secretary Root has approved certain suggestions made by Governor Taft for the better regulation of the immigration of Chinese into the Philippine islands. The main object of the notifications suggested are for the better enforce ment of the migration laws of the United States as applied to the Philip pines.
 When these laws were put in opera ton by General Otis in 1898 it was pro- vided that bona fide Chinese residents of the Philippines, who might leave that country should be allowed to re- turn upon the production of proper legal certification.
 The principal changes recommended by Governor Taft are that the privi- leges of returning to the island be limited to one year and a half and that this be wholly denied all Chinese who left the islands during or before 1898, who have not since returned.

CHARTER ELECTION CALLED
Council Prepares to Further Expand

The city council met last evening in special session and called an election of the citizens of Phoenix for the ac- ceptance or rejection of the new char ter. to be held on December II.
 The resolution was a long one and was drawn up in the form described in the statute and unanimously adopted, all members of the council being present except Mir. Dunlap, who is not in the city It calls for polling places in each ward as usual and the only unusual thing about the resolution is q provision regarding ballots, which for the present is an open question. The resolution says the ballots shall be prepared in general election (which means the Australian balloD unless otherwise provided for by the law under which the election is called
 There is a very healthy doubt in the mind of the city attorney and some other lawyers whom he has consulted as to whether or not the Australian ballot will be legal in this election and the form of ballot was for that reason not decided upon last night. This douot is based on the peculiar word ing of this particular law. which says "ballots'' for this election shall be flor the adoption" etc. "or'' against the adoption" etc. The city attorney be- leves that technical compliance with the law will require two separate and distinct ballots from which the voter may take his choice as in the old form of voting. while the Australian or gen. eral law provides that both answers to the question shall be upon the same ballot. MT. Bullard bases his opinion upon the plural form of the word bal lot being used in the law and also upon the word ''or" which seems to infer q distinction between the two proposi- tions.

CLERGYMAN'S CHILDREN.
Coffee Being Replaced by Postum Food
 Coffee.

"I am the wife of a minister About three years ago a warm friend, an eX- emplary mother and the conscientious wife of a minister asked me if l had ever tried giving up coffee and using the Postum Food Coffee. l had been telling her of my excessive nervousness and ilI-health. She said: We drink nothing else for breakfast but Postum Food Coffee. and it is a delight and a comfort to have something that we do not have to refuse the children when they ask for it.
 T was surprised that she would per init the children to drink any kind of coffee but she explained that it was a most healthful beverage and that the children thrived on it. A very little thought convinced me that for brain work one should not rely upon stimu- lant such as coffee is. but should have food, and the very best of food
 My first trial of Postum was fail - ure. The maid of all work brought it 10 the table lukewarm, weak and aito- gether lacking in character. We were in despair. but decided on one moro trial. At the second trial we faithful followed the directions, used four tea spoonfuls to the pint of water, let 1t boil full fifteen minutes after the real boiling began and served it with rich cream It was delicious and we were all won.
 ''I have since sung the praises of Postum Food Coffee on many, many oc- casions and have induced numbers of friends to abandon coffee and use Postum. with remarkable results The wife of a college professor said to me a short time ago that nothing had ever produced so marked change in her husbands health as the leaving off ot coffee and the use of Postum Food Golf fee.

For this and other reasons he was
strongly disliked by all the workmen.
