MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
A Sample Experience Of Municipal and
Private Ownership.

Several years since the people OF
Puyallup grew tired Of private owner
ship of city water, and commenced to
clamor for municipal ownership. AS
usual, it was commended by some that
the city could not operate water plant
as economically as company. The
voters finally decided by an overwhelm.
ing majority to own and operate their
own plant. The following clipping
from a signed statement recently made
by the city council OF Puyallup and
published in the Tribune Of that city:
"The price asked the people of Puy.
allup for water, under the old system,
was 81, 80 per house; 81, 20 if paid in adj
vance, providing there was no bath,
and Sl.75 per house where there was
bath. The first act on the part of the
city of Puyallup, after acquiring the
plant, was to reduce the water rentals
to Loo fiat per house, including bath:
thereby making very substantial re-
duction in the price of water to all the
people of Puyalluy. The result of mu.
nici pal ownership of this water system
has been to steadily increase the reve-
nues derived from the said system,
besides furnishing the people of Puyal-
lup with an abundant supply of city
water under strong and steady pres
sure at all times.
The revenues derived from operating
the same from September 1st 1905: to
October lst 1906, were 81 ,242 81.
The cost of operation has been So,
493 80, of which sum $l,6OO.5O was for
labor and fuel in operating the pump
ing plant before the gravity system
could be completed leaving a net bal
ance for the one year and one month of
S7:74S 81 (Which sum represented the
interest at ! per cent. on an investment
of S1l0, 900, or double the price paid for
the system by the city
"A this rate, in les, than tel years
time the plant will pay for itself, with
out taking one cent out of the city
treasury, and will replace in the city
treasury every cent drawn against the
general fund for its purchase, besides
furnishing the city of Puyallup with
free water for sprinIling and fire pro.
lection purposes, and for the flushing
of the sewer, which last, OF itself, is an

COFFEE IMPORTERS Publish q Book About Coffee.

There has been much discussion as to Coffee and Postum lately so much in fact that some of the coffee import CTS and coasters have taken to type to promote the sale of their wares and check if possible the rapid growth of the use of Postum Food Coffee
 In the coffee importers book a chap ter is headed Coffee as a Medicine" and advocates its use as such.
 Here is an admission of the truth, most important to all interested.
 Every physician knows, and every thoughtful person should know, that habitual use of any medicine of the drug-stimulant type of coffee or whis- key quickly causes irritation of the tis- sues and organs stimulated and final ly sets up disease in the great major ity of cases if persisted in. It may show in any one of the many organs of the body and in the great major ity of eases can be directly traced to coffee in a most mmistakable way by leaving off the active irritant-eoffee- and using Postum Food Coffee for a matter of ten days. If the result is relief from nervous trouble, dyspepsia. bowel complaint, heart failure, weak eyes or any other malady set up by 8 poisoned nervous system. you have your answer with the accuracy of a demonstration in mathematics.

ANNUAL APPEAL
From the Organized Charities Associa-
 tion

From the Organized Charities Associa-
 ton.
 The Organized Charities association now makes its annual appeal for relief contributions, to cover cost of help ren- dered in emergencies to families, sick or disabled persons and children, and to provide coal at Thanksgiving and Christmas for needy and deserving poor people.
 In anticipation of the usual generous response to this appeal the relief ac- count has already been overdraWn sev- eral hundred dollars for necessary ex- penses, and as the account seldom re- ceives contributions except at the holi- day season, liberal contributions are hoped for, that no later appeal for relief funds may be required.
 The work of the association is so well known that details are not necessary to guarantee a proper use of funds, and we hope for returns sufficient to enable to meet all calls for help and to continue the gifts of fuel to needy families as the season advances.
 A half ton of coal wili usually keep one of our families with comfort for a full month and will cost $9.50, and con- tributions large or small, may be left at or mailed to 200 Orange street, and will be promptly acknowledged by the agent, $. o. Preston.
