GREATER WHEELING.

rhs I~ntelligencer has been AL along.
and II now. heartily In favor Of ex-
tending he corporation lines OF
WheslinE a. contemplated In the
orsatsr wheeling movement with .
view not only to maintaining q su-
premacy a. the metropolis Of West
Virginia. but for the mutual benefits
that will accrus through the annexa-
don Of the suburban population. This
movement has progressed TO q point
where . conference with our neigh
bors has been decided upon. n which
measures win be taken to formulate
q charter IN keeping with the demands
OF the enlarged municipal boundaries
and the increased population. Greater
Wheeling will have TO be secured
through an act OF the legislature.
which must necessarily be submitted
TO q vote OF the people concerned In
the scheme. as well as those OF Wheel
ing. TO become effective. and the fea-
lures of the proposed new charter will
be a factor in that election. II IS.
therefore. highly important that this
matter be given the most serious and
intelligent consideration
The In~telligencer Is convinced that
the first conception OF a proper char
ter is the distinct separation OF the ex-
ecutive and legislative functions OF
city government. and this may be
provided for in a manner similar TO
that which now obtains In DAYTON. o..
or in our nearer neighbor. Pittsburgh.
This scheme may be applied to Wheel
ing through adoption OF the plan ad-
Vanced by Councilman II. s. Sands
for a reduction of the membership of
the present council. limiting IL to one
member from each ward and three
members at large. making a total
membership OF eleven. a more wieIdy
and effective body. A city
may be provided for. or three mana
gers. as we have now in our Board
OF Control. TO execute the laws and
administer the affairs os the city. the
manager or managers TO be appointed
by council. or elected by the people.
Dayton has the city manager plan.
in which the city manager IS appoint-
ed by council Pittsburgh has a like
plan. in which the chief executive is
elected by the people. Either Of these

Coffee's Weight on Old hss.

When people realize the Injurious
effects of coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring, they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit of others.

number OF years and complained OF
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago | was making a
visit to a distant part OF the country
and took dinner with one Of the
merchants OF the place. noticed a
somewhat unusual favour Of the cot
fee and asked him concerning it. he
replied that IT was Postum.
/ was so pleased with 1t that, after
the meal was over. bought a package
TO carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family we're so well pleased
with 1t that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
i had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con.
dltion, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time. she felt so
much better than she did prior to it's
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach: that the
headaches we're not so frequent. and
her general condition much improved
This continued until she was we'll and
hearty.
