TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing Is Abandoned.


ing L. Abandoned.
It is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as it is for
a whisky or tobacco fiend to break or.
except that the coffee user can quit eof-
fee and take up Postum Food Coffee
without any feeling of loss Of the
morning beverage, for when Postum ia
we'll boiled and served with cream, II
Is really better in point Of flavor than
most Of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste Of the connoisseur IL
Is like the flavor of fine Java.
A great transformation takes place In
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee is left of and Postum Food
Coffee used, for the reason that the mol.
son to the nerves has been discontinued
and In its place is taken a LIQUID that
contains the most powerful elements OF
nourishment.
1t is easy to make this test and prove
these statements by changing from coli
Zee to Postum Food Coffee.
There's reason.

Alderman Gessner Spent Con-
siderable Time In OBJ

In the graphic though crude par

chewed the rag very extensively at
the meeting last night.
True, some business was done. but
an unusually large amount of val

obstructionist, and although he stood
on his rights a great deal of the time,
II was plain that delay and obstruc-
ton was in his mind n great deal of

When the committee on streets
made It's report, Il was recommended
that the committee be instructed to
buy horse and cart for the use of
the department.
"Aow much will It COST" asked
Mr.. Gesner.
About $500" was the reply.
Then Mr. Gesner made n long
speech about economy and retrench-
ment and bitterly opposed the mo-
tion TO adopt.
The motion was finally amended so
that the things be purchased by bids
being submitted, and II was carried.
Alderman Jacob made n speech
that Il be arranged so that home
manufacturers be allowed to bid.
j. A. Cooper and ]. Conner were
granted licenses to sell liquor.
Arc lights were ordered installed
at Twenty-nrst and Main, Highland

The report of the committee on
parks was adopted.

on the Steusloff- -Gesner matter, made

free and open competition at ali
times.
Mr.. Downing desired this amended
so that State street would be allowed
to continue as the resolutions to pave
had already been passed.
Mr.. Gesner's resolution was finally
amended so that it be referred to the
city attorney, but the amendment
was lost Tho original motion was
unanimously adopted.
Mr.. Redman, representing the Bar
Der Asphalt company, was present
and on invitation addressed the coun-
ell. He said that the price of $40
quoted by Warrens people was de-
lusive, as It only meant two inches
of surface and that the pavement
would cost 50.
He said he was anxious to have the
Warrens bid on all contracts that he
bid on and only wanted the specifi-
cations to read in such a way that
the competition would be open and
would not include the name of pat
ented trade mark.
Ee was invited TO leave his specifi-
cations. descriptions, etc, with the
recorder.
County Clerk Allen sent a commu-
nication to the effect that the city
property was assessed this year at
sS,235,130, which is considerably
more than last year and will make a
difference of $1,100 in the city taxes

The first word to be received by the

their representative in San Francisco,
J. F. Morgan, came yesterday in the
form of a cabled inquiry as to the
amount and the wherea bouts of the
relief money sent him on the Ventura.
The cable was received by Chief Clerk
Buckland and turned over to Tenney
Peck, the treasurer of the fund. A
reply telling Mr.. Morgan to get the
cash from Alexander & Baldwin, Oak
land, was sent at once, and doubtless
a report will be received today from

WORKING At
PROMOTION
No Feeling Of Pessimism
Shown by the
Committee.

Whatever shadow the San Francisco
disaster may have cast over Honolulu
generally does not seem to have
caused any gloom to enter into the
councils of the Promotion Committee
for at the regular weekly meeting OF
that body yesterday afternoon the
most optimistic feeling was expressed
All the members We're agreed that now
is tbs time to get in and work to OBJ
tain the ENDS sought for continually
1t was recognized, of course, that San
Francisco is temporarily out of the
line of travel. but it is not thought
that this fact will materially weigh
against Honolulu's chances for con-
tinued success in drawing tourists
this way.
There is every encoura cement and
necessity for the Promotion Commit
tee to work harder than ever" said
Mr.. Spalding. There is ample field
to work through, both north and
south. There is no feeling of discour-
agement here at all"
The idea of the committee is that
the work should be continued with
increased vigor just now.
The committee is expanding its
money judiciously and diverting it into
channels which already have promise
of good results. The railway people
all over the mainland have been in
terested in the Hawaiian Islands, al
most entirely through constant effort
of the Promotion Committee. and as
a result the railway folders contain
favorable notices of the charms of a
trip to these islands. The interest of
the automobile publications has been
enlisted and frequent notices of the
delights of autoing about the good
roads on the islands appear.
Letters to Mr.. Wood from three very
wealthy mainlanders have been receiv-
ed in which the writer's state that they
are making arrangements to pur-
chase homes, or property upon which
to erect homes. to spend the winters.
The committee also feels that any
curtailment of contributions TO pro-
motion work is unWise, inasmuch as
estimates for continued work call for
every penny of that fund to be APP
piled to various divisions of the ex-
Lensive work.
Reference was made to the destruc-
ton of the Portland Commercial Club
by fire and the remarkable escape of
Tom Richardson from the flames. The
Commercial Club has renewed its work
with vigor and a little thing like a
ire wiping it out temporarily has been
dismissed as a thing which might hap
pen any time, but should not put any
)ne out of business.
The Promotion Committee will
shortly issue in leafiet form a circular
containing the names of the firms and
contributing to the promotion
work. plan followed by other similar
elsewhere. This will in
iicate to the mercantile world just |
