Are Really Unfit for a Hot Climate
A sarcastic one said, "A person who won't quit the coffee habit when heart and nerves
are crying for relief, has less stability of character than a pair of butter legs in hades." Truly
a melting remark. .
seems hard-hearted to poke fun at the coffee "crank' "who "Just can't give up my
coffee," for the habit sometimes becomes a disease just as truly as the whisky habit, but it is
easy for the worst old coffee toper to shift over to Postum Food Coffee, provided it is well made.
Postum has tho deep, seal brown color of drip coffee and a certain snappy flavor, not
of the rank, strong, bitter coffees but much like the mild and high grades of Java.
If supplies in liquid form the needed food elements required to rebuild the nerve centres,
hurt or destroyed by coffee. "What do we mean by "nerve centres "f These are found in various
parts of the body and each little nerve sack or envelope is filed with a soft pulpy gray sub
stance that is really the life and energy of the nerve. Coffee and other stimulant narcotic poisons
tend to destroy this gray matter and when enough is broken down, nervous prostration or other
form of disease will set in. The trouble may sho w in weakened heart, lungs, 6tomach, bowels,
eyes or any- other organ, for the lack of life power or nervous energy is likely to attack the
weakest part first.
The remedy is (and get to work in time) to quit the drug and therefore stop the daily
destruction. Then take a liquid food such as Postum and go to rebuilding.
That is a sure and dependable road to Wejlville.

HARRY ZIMMAN PUTS THEM ON RECORD
Lone Republican Read. Their Caas

Then Offers Chance to
Make Good.
Put squarely up against the duesUon.
of whether they would admit a second tele
phone franchise the democratic city council
dodged the issue In general committee meet
ing yosterday afternoon. Councilman Zlm
niaii, the lone republican member, Intro
duced a resolution to define the attitude, of
the body, saying that unless he felt sure
the council would let the telephone ques
tion go to the people he did not care to
hear any more talk about It. This was the
resolution, which the democrats declined to
favor:
Whereas, the Nebraska Telephone com
pany has neglected and refused to maio
a proposition to the telephone committee
appointed by the city council for the re
duction of its telephone rates and ,for con
nection with outside telephones and tele
phone companies,
Therefore, be It resolved that It Is the
sense of the city council that a proposition
for a franchise for an Independent 'phone
company be submitted to the voters of the
city of Omaha as provided by statute.
Zimman sprung his resolution after rep
resentatives of the Home Telephone com
pany had made long speeches about the
desirability of a dual telephone equipment.
He said he had seen so much wind wasted
over the proposition that he wanted to
know what the council really intended
to do.
How They Lined I p.
Funkhouser favored the resolution and
said so, but McQovern, Sheldon. Brucker,
Davis and Jackson and Johnson said it waa
premature and that a report from the tele
phone committee should be awaited. I
Bridges supported Zimman and Elsasser
contended that the city should define a
franchise ordinance and auction it oft to the
companyv that would pay the biggest roy
alty. Most of them said they favored let
ting In another telephone company if the
Nebraska company could not be Induced to
grant the concessions desired, but they all
shied at a positive declaration of their In
tentions. Remarking that he had promised to make
use of the pamphlet Zimman dug up a
copy of the democratic city platform and
read what the counrilmen had promised to
do about telephones. Then he sprinkled a
l little red fir. around them and burned
It up.
"If." he demanded, "you didn't know any
thing about these mutters, why did you
sign your names to them under this plat
form? There Is considerable good In some
of these promises, but I Intend to see that
tney oerome someining more man promises
snd I don't Intend to wait until Just before
you go out of office either."
The franchise asked for by the Home
Telephone company was advocated at
length by J. E. Baum, F. M. Woods of
IJncoln and C. J. Greene.
Mr. Greene talked of telephone matters
in a broad and abstract way.
PrlntlaaT Contract Awarded.
After the telephone talk- subsided the
committee decided to award the advertis
ing contract for the year to the World
Herald on a bid of 35 rents for first Inser

for each Insertion thereafter.

President Johnson of tho Judiciary com
mittee brought up the Ice trust investiga
tion resolution. Nothing had been done
about It, the fact that the county attorney
had atarted an Investigation ' was men
tioned, and a general ennui regarding the
matter affected lta omission from further

It were better policy to take up old high
