ASK ULTIMATE OWNERSHIP
Council to Insert Clauses as
Asked in Petition
Special to The Herald.

7
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 2O-A short time
ago petition was filed by members of
the Socialist party asking that the
council incorporate in all franchises
granted by the city clause providing
for ultimate municipal ownership The
council did not take the step and
passed certain franchise ordinances
without the clause inserted.
The Socialists have therefore pre-
pared a petition under the referendum
provisions of the charter asking that
the council reconsider it's action, or
failing so to do that the ordinances be
submitted to a vote of the people. The
charter provides for such a reference,
and with the petition filed and properly
signed an election would of necessity
be called.

LITTLE BOY BLUE.
His Mother Blows His Horn.

A lady living in Illinois writes about food to 2 friend whose little girl has a delicate stomach, and We are priv iIeged to Cuote from her letter:
 "The best way to advise you in little Bessie's case is, I feel, to tell you what I did for my little Boy Blue. He was, like your daughter, very fond of white bread. potatoes and the usual food of the everyday table. His appetite seem ed good, he ate freely, but like little Bessie, he didn't seem to get the pro- per amount of nourishment out of his food, was puny in body and, lacking strength, was 2eevish and half sick most of the time.
 q was very much worried about him because couldn't find the right sort of food for him-the ordinary breakfast foods didn't seem to answer. At last few months aco, I determined to try Grape-Nuts. I confess was almost in despair, and had but little hope that it would prove any better than the other prepared foods.
 "The result was most surprising. Boy Blue took to the Grape-Nuts food and it did him good from the begin ming. He has gained steadily in weight, strength and good spirits, and has taken on a complexion like a wild rose. His eyes fairly dance with health and happiness-his peevishness is all gone.
 "Then husband and I both began to eat Grape Nuts food, and with the best of results. He finds it especially ben eficiaI as 2 brain food. You know that one with his sedentary habits needs something specially adapted to such conditions-much nourishment in small bulk He finds it in Grape-Nuts food and he says he does better work since he began to eat it than ever before.
 "Give your baby Grape-Nuts and I'll guarantee the results Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. | There's q reason.
