Pro visions have been made for laying: a large water main on Grand avenue, probably from East Market street to Holladay ave nue, In advance of the hard surface pavement to be put down on that street. This main will be at least 12 Inches in diameter, and perhaps larger. The recommendation ot the water committee's engineer was that the main be laid from Division and East Twelfth street to Grand avenue, but this will be changed so that It will not have to be carried across Stephens' Slough. There also was a recommendation that a main be put down on Kast Stark street, but in view of the improvement of that street hy fill this will be omitted. Orders have been issued to connect the new main from the upper reservoir at Mount Tabor with . the small mains' in Irvington and Holla day addition on East Seventeenth and East Twenty-fourth street with the mains on Thompson and Broadway streets. This work should have been started a week ago, but the storm prevented. These connections will probably be com pleted this week, when this large dis trict, where water has been short, will be well supplied. Opposes Purchase or Water Plant. At the meeting of the Montavllla Im provement league Monday night, M. B. Dickinson, presiding, the organization de clared Itself as opposed to the purchase of the J. M. Arthur water -plant, which now 'supplies Montavllla with -water. A resolution was passed by the league de claring it to be the sentiment of the league that the purchase of the Mount Tabor Water Company's plant, owned by J. M. Arthur, would be unwise and a waste of money, and that it was also the sense of the league that the water company should proceed to supply Montavilla with Bull Run water through Its own mains without regard to the local plant, for the reason that the present plant is not adequate. On motion. Sec retary Carter, of the league, was in structed to send a copy of the resolu tions to the water committee with an urgent, request that it be acted on as soon as convenient. There has been some negotiation between the water committee and Mr. Arthur to take over the Mount Tabor water plant, but little progress has been made toward an agreement as to the price of the plant.

We are willing to take trouble to get things we value.' A Mo. man was so much benefited by changing from coffee to Postum, that ha was willing to ride about 12 miles to get it. His daughter writes: : "My mother, father and myself have been drinking Postum for two years and have all been greatly benefited by its use. "Before we dropped coffee and began to use Postum, Mother was poorly nour ished and only weighed 95 lbs. After she used it a few weeks she began to gain In weight and she kept getting stronger and better untI now she weighs about 150 lbs., and we all believe it is due to leaving off coffee and drinking Postum Food Coffee, because she has taken no medicine of any kind. While she drank coffee she was very nervous, but since using Postum she has no such trouble. "Father was troubled with indigestion, when he drank coffee, but Postum has changed all that. He says he likes the taste of It much better than coffee. When I happen to be visiting and drink coffee I am usually sick a few hours, everything sours on my stomach and I get very nervous. "We find there's a big difference in the way Postum is prepared. It Bhould be boiled properly according to directions then its flavor is fine. Father rides about 12 miles to get it. He says he would not do without Postum If he had to go still' farther to get it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. Read the little booklet, "The Road J. to .WeUvUle," in pkga.
