The joint judicial and finance com mittees of the City Council met last night in the city hall for the purpose of again taking up the financial budget and licenses for next year. The alder men are working hard to cut down ex penses and increase the revenues of the city, to meet the big deficit which has arisen.
 They occupied much of the time with discussion of the recommendations of Mayor Ward, which were referred to the joint committee at the last meet ing of the council. They confirmed his action in abolishing the offices of as sistant building inspector, assistant electrical inspector and assistant plumbing inspector. effective Decem- Der l.
 It was decided to defer the abolish ment of the department of weights and measures until the finance committee can ascertain the way it is handled in Montgomery Atlanta and Memphis If possible it will be placed on fees, and made self sustaining.

A GOOD STORY Told By a Former Coffee Slave.

The relief which comes by leaving of coffee and using Postum Food Coffee, is 80 striking that people like to tell others who may be in the condition they got out of.
 The use of Postum is on the increase in this country and the famous beverage made from wholesome field grain has been the means of restoring to thousands of former coffee drinkers good digestion. steady nerves and sound sleep.
 About IS months ago." writes Kan. woman, '1 was most miserable person. I am 2S years old and all my life I have been subject to headache, which seemed to get worse with each attack so that about every week I would have a spell that laid me up two days.
 Whenever I would go out anywhere I'd come home with a spell and then would not eat anything-just drink coffee. I had nervous chils and my memory was get ting very bad.
 My friends thought I would not live long, and l was little more than a skele- ton. At last a friend advised me to quit coffee and use Postum. It seemed silly to think coffee was the trouble. but am thankful I tried 1t out. for l am now in perfect health: have no headaches or dizzy spells, no more nervous chills and my nerves are strong and steady. My mind Is clear and my memory all right, In fact am like a different person.
 Constipation was one of my old trou- bles, had to take something all the time. Now I am never bothered this way and everyone remarks how well am looking. l am getting leshy and am glad to tell others that Postum has done it all for me.
 "A few times when out of Postum. I have returned to coffee and every time I'd go to bed with a raging headache, so that's proof that coffee was at the bot tom of my trouble" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich. Read .'The Road to Wellville,' in pkgs. There's Reason"

Some people, unknow-

Some people, unknow- ingly, use up more energy digesting heavy foods taken in excess, under the false impression that the "more they eat the more they can do," than they exert in doing their regu- lar work.
 Why not economize en- ergy? It means the capac- ity to accomplish more. and that means more money. Change off from a heavy meat and cake breakfast to a dish of Crape-Nuts and cream, a soft boiled egg or two, and note how you can get through the mornings work and have a lot of energy left over-a thing that is a pleasure of itself.
 Grape-Nuts contains all the food clements from wheat and barley for "economizing energy"

ASK CUSTOM HOUSE {
TO CUT EXPENSES
ORDER SENT OUT FROM WASH
INGTON INDICATES SHORTAGE
IN FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 22.-Unless
the utmost economy is exercised in the
administration of the affairs of the
custom house a deficiency may result
in the appropriation for defraying the
expenses for the collection of revenue
from customs. Collector of the Port
Startton has received a letter from AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Rey-
nolds. calling his attention to the fact
that extreme care must be taken to
limit expenditure to absolutely neces-
sary items.
The collector is also told that the
force of temporary laborers must be
kept at the lowest possible limit.
In 1894 there was such an emergency
as is threatened now in the custom
house appropriation. The employees
were compelled to work the last four
months of the fiscal year without get
ting their salaries and take their
chances of being paid when deficiency
bill passed the following congress. A
similar state of affairs existed in 1889
but the employees only had one
months salary held up at that time.

DRIFTED ABOUT
ON THE PACIFIC
THE STEAMSHIP HYNDFORD WAS
HELPLESS FOR WEEKS ON THE
OCBAN-BACK AND FORTH.

ASTORIA, (Or), May 21.-The Brit
ish steamship Hynford, which arrived
this morning in ballast to load grain
for Europe, has a story that few YES
sells come through with any report
of. Her log does not tell full ac-
count of her experience since leaving
India with a cargo of rice and gunny
sacks for Valparaiso, and for the first
time it is known through Captain
Horne, her master.
During last September she crossed
through the Straits of Magellan, when
she ran into heavy sea, and when in
IS So west, 52:39 south, the four blades
of her propeller were broken off close
to the hub and she rolled helplessly in
the trough of the sea. She had only
two staysails available and could not
stand up to the wind On September
! 18th it was decided that the vessel was
soon to be wrecked on the rocky coast,
so volunteers were asked for to take a
small boat and go for assistance.
Every man on board volunteered, but
First Officer Mclean insisted that 1t
was his right to take charge of the
boat, and he chose four seamen to ac-
company him, the boat being watered
and provisioned for month.
The vessel continued to drift back
and forth as the weather moderated
and shifted for several weeks. AS as
sistance appeared unlikely the cargo
was preached and the gunny sacks
made into sails, until the steamship
was transformed into a sailing vessel.
Shortly after the mate left in the small
boat the German ship Emile from AS
toria for Europe was sighted and let
tiers and kilograms were given her as
to the conditions of the Hynford.

Times of the tide are taken from the

bles. The tides at Kahului and Hilo
occur about one hour earlier than at
Honolulu. Hawaiian standard time is
10 hours 30 minutes slower than Green
witch time, being that of the meridian
of 157 degrees 30 minutes. The time
whistle blows at 1870 p. m, which is
the same as Greenwich, 0 hours, min
