The bill in question, it is said, con-
templates the setting apart of at least
three blocks on each side of the ex-
IRENE west end of University avenue.
Ever since the two suburbs were
added to st. Paul, blind pigs have
fourished with a persistency that has
eVaded ali attempts to drive them out.
Those behind the movement say that
the traffic could be better controlled if
at least a small portion of the sec
ton was set aside for the establish
ment of legitimate saloons. The sec
ton of University avenue proposed
for this traffic is given over entirely
to business houses, and the residence
section Would in no wise be affected.
There is a question about the right
of the legislature to interfere with the
patrol limits in Merriam and st. An
thony Parks without the sanction of
the people living there, and the point
may be raised in the event that
any legislation is attempted. Aid.
Elder. of the Eleventh ward, is under
stood to be opposed to the curtailfng
of the patrol limits and may invoke
the assistance of the council to head it
off.

RALPH BEFORE
STAR CHAMBER
Drainage Commission Has
Examiners Statement
of Case.

Vouchers and accounts of Engineer
George A. Ralph Of the state drain
age commission were gone over at q
three hour session of the commission
yesterday afternoon. When the COM
mission adjourned at o'clock it was
suggested that it would probably be
just as well to have the matters dis
cuSSed in the executive sessions not
made public.
There was no protest made by any
of the members Of the commission to
this suggestion and nothing said either
by Mr.. Ralph nor his attorney For
fear that something might be given to
the newspapers Mr.. Ralph was eau
toned to not give an interview.
The state public examiner and q
couple of his expert accountants car
ried into the executive session an arm
full of books and papers and Engineer
Ralph also had a package of Vouch-
ers and accounts.
sion would talk about the facts
brought out at the session but it was
understood that it is now up to Mr..
Ralph and his attorney tc explain to
the satisfaction of the commission the
alleged discrepancies as shown by the
experts from the office of the public ex-
aminer.

the commission covering a period of
several months anG as a state official

The next session of the commission
will be held at the call of Gov Van
SAINT. Mr.. Ralph left last evening for
Crookston for the purp pose of securing
books and records with which he pro-
poses to make it plain to the ccmris-
sion that there has been nothing wrong
with his accounts as the engineer of
the state drainage commission.
1t developed at the hearing that Mr..
Ralph had neglected to draw his salary
for May, 1902 az engineer for the state
commission and this ives pointed out
as evidence to back up the statement
that Mr.. Ralph was rather careless in
his bookkeeping owing to his having
so much business to attend to and if
there had been any mistake in his ac-
counts it was due to clerical errors.

EMBALMS THE FOOD.
A California Physicians Idea About
Coffee


A well known California physician,
John M. Read, of Redding, Cal, main
tains that coffee, when taken with the
meals, has a tendency to "embalm' Oh
preserve" the food SO that it will not
digest. With this knowledge he has
made many complete cures of indiges-
ton, stomach troubles and nervous
diseases by taking away the coffee and
giving his patients Postum Cereal Cof-
fee, which helms digestion.
DR.. Reads theory is spoken of in a
letter from a gentleman of Oak P. O.,
Cal, who says: Twelve years of in
digestion had made me so nervous and
thin that l could scarcely work / had
noticed the newspaper articles about
Postum Coffee, but didn't think seri-
ously of the matter. Finally, however.
they impressed me and I went to my
family physician, DR.. John M. Read.
OF Reddlng, and asked him about Pos
tum.
He Immediately recommended if.
having used it in his own and other
cases for exactly the same purpose. DIR.
Read is well known throughout North
ern California and he surprised me by
the following statement: Coffee acts
in many cases like a large dose of
alcohol taken after meals; it preserves
the food so it cannot be digested.'

Mr.. zimmerman has purchased large
shoe factory in Pittsfeld, Mass, and is
now in that city completing the trans.
fer. His son, Edward Zimmerman, and
another relative are also interested in
the enterprise.
With Mr. Zimmerman's- retirement,
the board will be practically Demo-
cratic, should Mayor Smith name
successor of that political faith. The
only Republican now left en- the board
is DR.. Christian Fry. The term of o.
E. Holman, the president of the board,
also expires in March, but there is lit
tie doubt Of his reappointment.
Not a few city beard jobs expire in
March, and the return of Mayor Smith
next week from his trip to Southern
Indiana win but shortly precede the
announcement of the new appointees.
Perhaps the most important are those
of the successors to President erode, of
the board of public works, and DR.. Jus
tus Ohage, the commissioner of health.
The terms of both of these officials will
expire in March and the announcement
of their successors must be made soon.
ohage's Reappointment Assured.
DR.. Ohage is practically sure of re-
| appointment, that is, if he wants it.
Some months ago, when the battle for
the bath approach was at its fercest
and defeat seemed certain, he signified
his intention of retiring to private life
at the close of his term, but things
have changed since then and DIR.
| Ohage's reappointment is beyond the
question of a doubt.
President erode, of She beard &c pub
lie works, is slated for reappointment,
but there are a few making strenuous
efforts to have his reappointment side
tracked. One element is said to COM
prise the friends Of Anton Miesen.
Miesen is credited with enough of this
worlds goods to place him beyond the
| stipend that this office brings, but his
| friends, it is said, ask recognition for
him because of past party activity.
! Should Mr.. Nielsen be President
Grode's successor, which is largely con
| lecture, the board of public works viii
enjoy the novel feature Of having three
members, who in the past have been
active candidates for the office of sher-
! IF of Ramsey county. Peter Van Ho-
ven, E. L. Murphy and Mr. Nielsen
have all made the race, but lacked at
the finish.
Another office tic be filed when Nav
or Smith returns will be the presidency
of the park board. nJseph A. Wbeelock
will undoubtedly be reappointed.
