INSTANT P0STUM
It is pure, and made entirely of Northern wheat and
the juice of Southern sugar-cane. Postum is a genuine
food-drink—rich in Nature’s phosphates, and contains
no drug whatever.
Postum comes in two forms. .
Regular Postum (must be boiled).
Instant Postum requires no boiling, but is made in
stantly by stirring a level teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water with cream and sugar to taste.
Experiment until you eret it to suit your taste, then
have it always made that way. Made right, Postum has
a delightful flavor, resembling high-grade Java.
If coffee don’t agree, suppose you leave it off ten
days and try Postum.
Drink it instead of coffee.

PLOT, SMS CAREY
General Manager Declares By-
Laws Were Passed to Force
His Resignation.
That putting up to the General
Manager of the Park Department the
duty of reporting to General Council
members of the Park Board who miss
two consecutive sessions is simply an
attempt to keep him in hot water is
the charge made by General Mana
ger Dan Carey. This duty is pre
scribed in the new set of by-laws
drawn up by the rules committee of
the Park Board, and which is expect
ed to be adopted at the next board
meeting.
Under the charter of the board, a
member who fails to attend two meet
ings automatically loses his office.
The new by-laws put the duty of
taking this matter up with Council up
to the General Manager.
"Why, they are trying to get me in
all sorts of a stew and get me at outs
with every member of the board,"
commented Mr. Carey. "There Is also
another little catch which provides
that no one can have leave of absence
without permission of the board. The
way the rule is worded, I could not
grant any of the park employees ar.
hour off without making myself liable,
to impeachment.
“Regarding the rule providing that
no supplies or materials may be pur
chased or that any permanent im
provement may be made without first
getting the permission of the boarJ,
this simply places another stumbling
block in the way of rapid and eco
nomical work. For Instance, the con
crete gang was at work at Piedmont
Park a few days ago. While It waf
there I discovered that a set of con
crete steps were needed at one place
and Instructed the foreman to build
them. This was done at the lowest
possible cost, but under this new’ rule
I would first be compelled to wal’
until a meeting of the board to get
permission for it. The result would
be not only delay to the work, but a
much greater cost "
President J. O. Cochran, of the
Park Board, denies that the new’ rule,
were drafted with any intention of
forcing Carey to resign.
