At the meeting of the Common Coun cil on the Ist of October the ordinance creating and defining the powers and du ties of the Board of Police Commision ers will be so amended as to bring it into harmony with the new Constitu tion. This ordinance gave practical con trol of the Police Department to the com missioners, nnd a contention arose be tween the Mayor and the commissioners as to the right to suspend or remove an officer for mis conduct in office or neglect of duty.

At last, "one day, in a half-hearted, despairing mood, I bought from the grocer some Postum Food Cof fee. My grown-up daughter, who, by tho, way had'f inherited my taste for coffee, and also my nervousness, laughed and said, 'Don't you know tht nothing can take the j)lace of well-made coffee, half Java and half Mocha, with, plenty of, rich cream?' " '1 firmly believe it," I replied, 'but a drowning man will grasp! at a straw, and 1 am getting * more nervous every day, and can hardly eat any tiling at all, and J)r.
