SMALL MONEY.
What a Quarter Did.

The person who uses the brain and
nerves actively needs food to rebuild
them and replace the waste, and
should not rest on stimulants. Coffee
excites these organs so they cannot
get the necessary rest and nourish-
ment and steadily tears them down,
then other disorders follow.
Il am under a constant nervous
strain, as I have 50 girls under my
care" writes a school teacher from
Knoxville, Tenn.

and nervousness in its worst form, and
paid out hundreds of dollars in doc
tors bills. Many of my friends ad-
vised me to quit coffee and use your
Postum Food Coffee, and l tasted it
once and it was something horrible.
Some time later I met a friend who
wished me to try a cup of Postum
and her manner was so convincing
that I finally tasted the Postum to
please her. Great was my astonish-
ment to find it so different from what
/ had drunk before and I Immediately
asked how the difference in taste was
brought about and discovered it was
simply that the first I had was only
boiled minute or two, whereas Is

cious flavor and food value, so / de-

THEY DESERT BRICK
FOR ASPHALT PAVE
Mississippi Street Residents Want a
Change in Material.

Mississippi street property owners,
who few weeks ago at a hearing
before the board of works demanded
brick for the surfacing of their street
from Grove to the Great Northern
tracks, are preparing a petition to the
board to have the material changed to
asphalt. The unusually low prices re-
Gently obtained for that material is re-
sponsible for the movement.
Figuring on brick at about 81 a
square yard, the engineering depart
ment estimated the property owners
share Of the Improvement at $15,400.
but if asphalt can be obtained for the
same price as that made for Ninth
street the Qnst will only be about $12,-
00O Even at 50 a square yard the board
considers asphalt cheaper in the end, as
a ten-year guarantee can be obtained,
where only five years prevails in the
case of brick.
Thursday the board of public works
will give a hearing on the proposed
paving of Mississippi from the Great
Northern bridge to the Northern Pa
cific bridge. The cost for brick would
be s1O,S44, but it is believed that
asphalt will be demanded! The street

will not be far short of $4,000.
At the last meeting of the confer
ence committee an appropriation of
$4,000 was made for the paving Of in
tersections on Mississippi street it's
entire length.
The board of public works yesterday
awarded the contract for the paving of
Eagle street from Franklin to the river
to Fielding & Shepley.
This firm was the only bidder, and
was about $500 in advance of the engi-
neer's estimate, but on investigation
by the board it was found that read
vertising for bids would not better
matters, Sandstone has gone up in
price, and besides no other material
could be used. The remainder of the
street is paved with sandstone, and to
substitute any other material would
simply result in a hideous looking
patch.

and of the knowledge which he thought
he had gained from Lo Sing.
HON became cook in the peniten-
tiary. and though he is of the Man
DARN rank in China he was good
one.
He communicated with the officers
Of his society and with his friends in
that mysterious manner in which the
Chinese are adopts.
1t is believed that he knows where
the missing golden pages of Confucian
lore are.
1t is also believed that he has made
his release from the penitentiary the
price of divulging the secret to the
Bong Sa Ting officers.
That. however, is merely a matter
of speculation at present, though GER
tain facts tend to bear out the theory.

efforts did not amount to much, how

ROBERT STREET BRIDGE
ALMOST IMPASSABLE
Salt and Sand Used by Street Railway
Company Spoil SIeighing.

The Robert street bridge is the most
heavily Travelled structure crossing the
Mississippi, but at present it is al
most impossible for hobs and sleighs,
owing to the promiscuous use of sand
and salt by the street car company.
The street car company uses the
sand on it's tracks, and it has found
its way to the snow to the extent of
making heavy hauling over it almost
impossible. Many of the teams have
taken to the Wabasha street bridge,
which is less travelled.
Nearly every vehicle in st. Paul is
now on runners, and the inconvenience
is great when crossing the bridge. Some
of the team owners propose requesting
the city to dump few loads of the
snow being taken from the streets on
the bridge floors.
City Engineer Rundlett put about
fifty men at work yesterday sanding
the sidewalks and removing some of
the snowbanks from the streets.

SCHOOL BOARD
FACES PROBLEM
Cost of Additions and Needed
Repairs Exceeds Money
OIL Hand.

The question Of where to spend the
$4,000 set apart for repairs and new
buildings will be discussed at the meeting
of the board of school inspectors today.
Delegations from the First, Fifth and
Seventh wards will appear before the
board and insist on new school buildings
in their districts
The construction Of an eightroom addi-
ton to the Cleveland; Harrison or Grant
schools in the First ward means an out
lay of $4,000, or if a new building i9
erected, as the residents Of the ward de-
mand, an expenditure Of $4,000.
An eight-room addition to the Baker
school in the Tenth ward has been de-
cided upon by the board, and this means
$4,000 for this purpose.
The Fifth warders want a new eight
room building, which will cost another
$4,000, and additions TO the Irving
school in the Seventh ward, aud Douglass
school in the Sixth ward will cost SIG, 600
each
These proposed additions and new build
ings will take about all the money the
board has set aside for repairs and build
ings, and does not include the purchase
of any realty on which to put UP new
buildings.
The question of repairs or the tearing
out OF the old Ruttan systems in several
OF the schools is a pressing demand which
buildings the sanitary condition is far
from what it should be, owing to the ven
tllat1ng systems IN use. In addition there
are. number of the school buildings in
which 1t is impossible 20 use coal Tor
fuel owing to the condition Of the fur
naces, and wood is being used. All Of
these needed improvements should be
made but the amount which the board has
IN sight is limited to SIP, 600 and the
question OF how to spread it around is
one which makes the problem a serious
one
Aside from the question of new buildings
and repairs, the meeting today will be
a routine one.

SCRAMBLE FOR
CITY ATTORNEY
Candidates for Markham's
Job Beginning to Feel
Out COuncilmen.

City hall gossips are just now busy
filing Corporation Attorney Mark
hams job, which expires in March,
but not one Of them, so far, has sue
ceeded in convincing the other that
he has solved the problem. Rumor
credits five local attorneys with having
aspirations, but beyond that little more
can be said.
Daniel w. Lawler was two weeks
ago uppermost in the minds of the
fraternity, but now it is believed that
he is not a candidate.
An avowed candidate is Leonard J..
DCbner, a member of the board of al
dermen, but Mr.. Dobner must first Sc
cure from the legislature a law per-
hitting him to take the office. Next to
Mr. Lawler, if he cared to run, Mr..
Dobner is probably the strongest can
didate in the field. The board is with
him to a man, but the assembly is di-
vided on his candidacy.
The other candidates are Stan DON
nelly, David F. PEBBLES, 7. J. McDer-
mott and O. E. Holman. All four are
working quietly, but their inability to
secure pledges puts them on the anx-
iodS seat.
The tangle Of two years ago, when
Markham, a Republican, slipped into
the Office in the face of a Democratic
majority, seems hardly possible Of rep
etitiop this time, but the Democratic
majority, even if it is increased this
year, is by no means a unit when par
tisanship is involved.
President Schiffmann, of the assem-
bly,, will not be in st. Paul when the
vote on filling the office is taken, but
he is credited with publicly stating
that if he was here his vote would
be cast for Mr.. Markham. At least
one other member is WaVering, so a
fight at least is imminent.
Mr.. Markham has not expressed any
hopes Of being permitted to retain the
office, but he is interested just the
same. He has landed it when Dem
ocratic majority prevailed, and might
justly be credited with the desire to
see the lightning strike him again
1t is expected that the latter part of
the month will see the contest on in
