Th agitation over the. nitkSnc of ths teultetvof J'JOO. which has kept the sublet of municipal finance uppermost In mlnUn of many good cltlxena, will f'fiG Its sequel within a week or ten days two series of Important hearing to the city's affairs. The first of will be the sessions of the Cassldy "Legislative Committee. which waa rhor.e1 by the last with the Invest lea Hon of jhe financial methods of New York CSty: the second will be the hearings granted by the Charter Revision CorninlBJ.on upon the proposed draft ef a new charter now in process of completion.

It (s expected that the sessions of the rsasldy committee will run from day to dY for a Deriod of three weeks. The heartnga befoiethe Chap ter Revision Com mission, according to the present rate of progress, will be due about Dec. 13. so Uat altogether the prospect is that mu- aVln.1 Ira vllt tut Iron r. i 1 1 V.

It was learned yesterday that Senator Pitrlck II. McCarren of Brooklyn re-t-entlv declared htrnself In private as be- tng anxious to have the work of the Cas-, idy committee, of which he Is a menber.

In polllicat quarters this attitude of (senator ncvarren is uiuugiii uuw to his struggle with Leader Murphy of Tammany Hall, who recently made peace with Mayor McCleilan. has made peare with McCarren. and Controller who is more or less Identified with the McCarren organisation in Brooklyn, has been the subject of attack from Tammany sources as to the genuineness of the reforms which he has Instituted In the methods of the Depart ment of Finance.

This disposition cropped out at Monday's hearing upon the budget before the Finance Committee of the Aldermen, when Alderman Little Tim Sullivan, Chairman of the committee, re- ipeatedly directed the attention" of the eiti- sens who appeared in protest against large expenditures In other Quarters to the high salary list in the Controller's of-' fice. As Controller Mets is expected to be the Mayoralty candidate of the Brooklyn organisation next Fall, the political possibilities of the investigation by the Cassidy committee loom large as the time approaches for the beginning of the hearings. The hearings before the Charter Revision Commission, on the other hand, will take quite another turn, although In their line they are likely to be quite as thor-1 'The. Charter Revision Commission, of which William M. Ivlns Is Chairman, has been making a thorough Investigation with sessions eJmost daily and nightly for the laat six monthsJnto the operation of nearly every department in the city.

Within the next month the commission will have prepared a tentative draft ot the new charter as to structure, powers. and It la the plan to hold a series of hearings upon this draft so as to give all those who may have suggestions or criticisms an opportunity to be heard before the charter goes to the Legislature. When the charter finally reaches the Legislature It will Ins accompanied ty a code of procedure which will cover many of the matters that have been dragged into the present charter by legislative enactment. The Legislature will alo receive a complete analysis of the various provisions, giving the theory of the proposed enactments, the changes from the present, form where such occur, and the evidence in respect to the different changes upon which, the commission bases its conclusions. The collection of docu- menta thus obtained will unquestionably comprise the most complete exposition of the government of New York City in theory and practice that has ever been put together.

Add to this the report of the Cassidy committee, the report from the various investigations of matters relating to the city debt and the material al ready at hand, and it will be seen that the Legislature will be provided with a wealth of material, on which to act.

A FAT BABY trsaadly EvMeant of Proper Feeding. Babies rrow very rapidly, and If they do not get th right kind of food they grow backwards Instead of forwards: that is. when their food is not nourishing they grow thin and cross and some them die from the lack of the right kind of food. A girl writes: My aunt'a baby was very, delicate and was always ill. She was not able to nurse It, and took it to one doctor after another, but none of them did the child any good.

One day -mother told my aunt to try Grape-Nuts for the baby, but she laughed and said if the doctors couldn't do the baby any good, how could Clrap-s-Xuta But mother said. 'Try it anyway. So my aunt put one tablespoonful of Grape-Nuts in a quarter cup of hot water and when the food was soft she tided as much milk as water, and gave that to the baby. "In month and a half you would hardly have known that baby. It waa so fat and thrived so fast.

A neighbor asked my sunt what made the baby so healthy and fat when only six weeks before It wa so thin. She said. The neighbor got Grape-Nuts for her baby and It was soon as fat as my aunt's 4-htld." There's a Reason." Name given by Poatum Battle Creek. Mich. Read.
