CITY CHARTER
Officers and Financial Methods Considered
by the Committee.


The ioint committee of tho Board Of
Trade and City Council appointed TO pre-
pare new city charter bill, held its weekly
meeting last night in the rooms of the
Board Of Trade, in the Equitable Build
ing There was a small attendance oil the
committee and it was $50 o clock when
the meeting was opened.
The committee started with that part Of
the 1908 charter which relates TO eXecu-
tive departments. Section No. 81, as It
appears in the charter bill of 1903, was
approved in its entirety.
Section 81, giving the heads Of the dc
partments seats in the City Council, was
also anproved
S.. So. which provides that surplus
from tn nropriatiOn Of any department
can be trl red TO the credit OF another,

objected TO by Mr. McCafierty,who thought
it was false economy.
Mr.. McCafferty argued that when the
head of a department knew be would re
oeive no more money he would make hrs
appropriation suffice for the year
A. i. johnson also favored the con-
tention made by Mr. McCalierty. The
section was adopted after a slight amend
ment and considerable discussion.
Section 54, relating to the reports OF the
various departments, was approved.
Section &c. providing that the appoint
ment Of subordinate officers, clerks and
employees in the several departments,
should be made by the executive board,
caused much discussion and will again be
taken up and discussed before it is passed
upon. The members seemed to favor the
head OF each department appointing his
own assistants.
Section 81 was laid over until some
other time without discussion. 1t pro-
vides for the continuance Of clerks and all
subordinates in office, where they merit
the continuance.
Section 5S, which gives Council the
authority to designate subordinate Off

The Coffee Debate.

your friend something to think of. Of
course, if the person is one Of the weak
ones and says 81 can't quit" you viii
have discovered one of the slaves of the
coffee importer. Treat such kindly, for
they seem absolutely powerless to stop
the gradual but sure destruction of body
and health.
Nature has a way of destroying a part
OF the people to make room for the
stronger 1t is the old law of ''the sur
vival of the fittest" at work, and the
victims are many.
We repeat the assertion that coffee
does harm many people, not all, but an
army large enough to appal the investi-
gator and searcher for facts.
The next prevarication of the coffee
importers and roasters is their statement
that Postum Food Coffee is made of
roasted peas, beans or corn, and mixed
with a low grade Of coffee and that il
contains no nourishnent.
We have previously offered 10 wager
500 10000 with them that their state
ments are absolutely false.
They have not accepted our wager and
they viii not.
We will gladly make a present Of
S25,O0OOO 10 any roaster or importer Of
old fashioned coffee who viii accept that
wager.
Free inspection of our factories and
methods is made by thousands of people
each month and the coffee importers
themselves are cordially invited Both
Postum and Grape-Nuts are absolutely
pure and made exactly as stated.
The formula Of Postum and the an
alysis made by one Of the foremost
chemists of Boston has been printed on
every package ior many years and is alb

Ordinary coffee stimulates in an un-

The published statements Of number
of coffee importers and roasters indicate
a "waspy" feeling toward us, for daring
to say that coffee is harmful to a percent
age of the people.
A frank public discussion of the sub
ject is quite agreeable to us and can GER
tainly do no harm; on the contrary when
all the facts on both sides of any question
are spread before the people they can
thereupon decide and act intelligently.
Give the people plain facts and they
will take care of themselves.
We demand facts in this coffee discus
sion and propose to see that the facts are
brought clearly before the people.
A number Of coffee importers and
roasters have Joined a movement to boom
coffee and stop the use of Postum Food
Coffee and in their newspaper statements
undertake to deceive by false assertions.
Their first is that coffee is not harmful
