REPORT ON SANITATION.
American Society of Municipal lm- provements Hears Discussions.


 Rochester \. T.. October s.-At today's session of the American Society of Mu- nlcipal Improvement the report on sewer age and sanitation was presented by President Folwell. The report states; Municipal sanitation can be intelligently attained only when based upon data deal ing with the relation between health and external surroundings.
 Among nuisances enumerated to be prevented for sanitary reasons are the smoke enuisance, exposed excrement, flooded lands, obstructed sunlight. More success has attended the use of moral auasion. combined with eternal vigilance, moderation and common sense than the enactment of ordinances In large plants, mechanical stockers, better draught and better arrangement Of fire box and boiler will prove economical as well as prevent giving off smoke. and in small plants the same is true if careful and inc telligent hand firing be used Instead of mechanical stockers.
 Food inspection is desirable more es- pecially to protect infants and invalids.
 Proper location for cemeteries deserves some consideration.
 Public fountains may. by cooling the air, add not only to the pleasure but the health of the citizens.
 More than twenty-five cities of the United States have public baths. and all cities should make some provisions for permitting the very poor to bathe at slight or no expense.
 All flooded lots and wet lands in cities should be drained, as possible causes of malaria and other diseases.

WANDERERS Travel Thousands of Miles and Find 1t It at Home.

We go about from one place to another in saerch of something we desire, without success, and finally find it right at home awaiting aus. mining engineer out in Mansfield, Mo, tells of his experience with coffee.
 He says: Up to the year 1898 had al- ways been accustomed to drinking coffee with my breakfast each morning In the summer of that year developed a severe case of nervous prostraton and took several courses of treatment for it in Toronto, Buffalo and New York city, without obtaining any permanent benefit.
 "One of the most trying manifestations of the malady was condition of nervous excitement in which found myself every day during the forenoon. It never oc- cured to me to attribute this to coffee until read an advertisement of yours last fall describing a case similar to my own which had received benefit from the use of Postum Cereal Food Coffee. I at once changed my breakfast beverage from Java and Mocha to Postum and the effect was nothing short of marvel ous. After using 1t less than week I was free from morning attacks, and In six months all my nervous symptoms had disappeared.
 q have demonstrated the fact that by following your directions in making Pos tum Food Coffee any one can obtain as rich a cup of coffee from Postum as from any of the imported brands. and may rest assured that they will escape the in- furious effects of coffee and experience much benefit from the use or Postum' Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich
