Resolution Fixing It at 1JSO Signed by Mayor Burke. Mayor Burke has signed the resolution passed by the board of aldermen fixing the tax rate for the coming year at $1.50 and the bills will soon be made out. The board in their estimates of the city expenses failed to include funds for the construction of the new almshouse. which is being built on North avenue, and this fart caused Mayor Burke to consider the advisability of calling another meeting of the board for the purpose of rescinding the resolution and passing another fixing the rate at $1.55. as it is estimated that it will take an additional five per cent, to build the almshouse.

A meeting of the board has not yet been called and it is quite probable that an endeavor will be made to get along with out an additional tax. GOING FISHING able thing in fishing tackle.

It would seem as though the ingenuity of the breakfast cereal manufacturers had been exhausted with their expensive premiums, fine pictures and lavish advertising. But Malt Breakfast Food comes out with a new plan which seems to have more common sense than any of the other ways tried to introduce a new cereal. Walt Breakfast Food invites every one to go to their grocer and get a regular size package of this food, with the understanding that if it is not the most delicious, appetising and satisfactory of all breakfast cereals, the proprietors of the Food will pay the grocer for it. This is a unique way of Introducing a breakfast cereal, but nearly every one mho tries Malt Breakfast Food becomes its friend. Malt Breakfast Food is not a medicated fad.

It is simple, honest, delicious, wholesome, nourishing- food: easily digested and full of nutrition. Although it is the most popular of all breakfast, cereals at the Waldorf-Astoria, the Touralne and the Auditorium, where people never con sider the price, yet it Is the most economical of foods. It comes in two-pound, full weight, packages, and when prepared for the table makes twelve pounds of real food eight times as much as can be obtained for the same price in the ready-to-serve cereals. Try Malt Breakfast Food on the money-back plan. Tour grocer stands ready to refund the price if you do not caU it the best cereal you ever In The Twinkling lDf An Eye We do not offer you old that we cannot sell in regular lar lines that are priced simply the cleaning up of a money on the total volume to give you an opportunity THE OLD ADMITTED, SHE WAS DRUNK, Bat Mrs.

A3 this was her second offense she was fined $15 and costs of 10.71, the alternate sentence being 108 days in the House of Correction, which she will serve.

George Touchette, who was recently convicted of a second offense of intoxication and sentenced to Rutland for wife beating, was in court yesterday and withdrew his appeal in the intoxication case and wanted to serve the alternate sentence of 108 days at Rutland. He said he should fight the wife-beating case at county court. As there was a question whether he could be transferred to the House of Correction from jail after having been committed there for not furnishing ball in the wife-beating case, he was sent back to that institution until his counsel could be consulted.
