Show CUB IfflfS GIVE FIRST MOVE FOB PEACE French CONFERENCE Great Powers Are Invited to Attend a Second Hague Conference Early In the Coming Summer. SCHOOL CHILDREN MEALS Authorities Allow Non of Them to Go Hungry, In Paris the city government gives every school child one full meal a day. This does not tend to pauperize the children or to brsen the rcspon slblllty of the parents; for all those who can afford to pay for the meal are expected to do so. On the other hand, no Jealousy or contempt can he felt by the richer children for their starved comrades; for all are supplied with the same metal token, which has to be given up In exchange for the meal. The "cintlne scolalre as this municipal soup kitchen la called, is not confined to Paris. In the provinces, the soupe scolalre," Its equivalent, has sent up the school attendance by leaps and bounds. Here, however, instead of paying for j their midday meal, all those who can possibly do so are encouraged to bring to school their handful of vegetables and the like and the contributions are all put Into the common soup. the Washington. Unexpectedly Russian government on Tuesday made another movement toward the recon ventlon of The Hague conference when Huron Rosen, the Russian ambassador, presented to Secretary Root a projosal for the reconvention of the conference at The Hague early In the coming summer, and Indicated that the Netherlands government had assented to the proposal.

Citizens Voted Against Operation of the Street Railways by the City. Chicago. Under the result of the city election held Tuesday. In which the question of municipal ownership of the street railways was the vital Issue, the city of Chicago can proceed to acquire and control the railways, but cannot operate them. At the same time the voters, while declaring that the city shall not proceed to operate the railroads, declared that as a question of policy It would be desirable for the city to do so. The total vote cast on the question of municipal ownership was 231,171, Of this number 120,911 were cast in favor of municipal operation of the street railways, and 110,200 against It. In order to become binding the proposition to operate the railways should have received 13S.703 votes. It therefore fell short of the required number by 17,792 votes. The published statements of a num ber of coffee Importers and roasters Indicate a waspy feeling towards us for daring to say that coffee is harmful to a percentage of the people. A frank public discussion of the subject Is quite agreeable to us and can certainly do no harm; on the contrary when all the facts on both sides of any question are spread before the people they can thereupon decide and act Intelligently.

It Is the old law of the survival of the fittest at work, and the victims are many. We repeat the assertion that coffee does harm many people, not all, but an army large enough to appal the in vestigator and searcher for facts. The next prevarication of the coffee importers and roasters is their statement that Postum Food Coffee is made of roasted peas, beans or corn, and mixed with a low grade of coffee and that it contains no nourishment. We have previously offered to wager Please remember we never say ordinary coffee hurts everyone. Some people use it regularly and seem strong enough to withstand its attacks, but there Is misery and disease In store for the man or woman who persists In Its use when nature protests, by heart weakness, stomach and bowel troubles, kidney disease, weak eyes or general nervous prostra- tion. The remedy is obvious. The drug caffeine, contained in all ordinary coffee, must be discontinued absolutely or the disease will continue in spite of any medicine and will grow worse. It is easy to leave off the coffee by adopting Postum Food Coffee, for in it one finds a pleasing hot breakfast or dinner beverage that has the deep seal brown color, changing to a rich golden brown when good cream is added.
