THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1916. NITCHEL SOUGHT CHURCHILL PLEDGE 0 SCHOOL PLANS {Demanded It as Condition of His Reappointment to Board of Education. Two new and decidedty interesting * chapters were written into the feud between Mayor Mitchel and formor | President Churehill of the Board of Faducation to-day when it was re- ported that Churchill was reappointed member of the Education Board be fore the beginning of the Mitchel ad ministration only after two promises nd been exacted of him. It was reported .on very reliablo authority that an emissary of the then Mafor-elect went to Churchill and tn- formed him that he could be reap- pointed if he would accede to the In- coming Mayor's wishes. The promises Churchill was asked to make First, that he would quietly and without fuss resign as President of the Board if the Mayor indi- cated that his services in that of- fice were no longer desirable by the powers at City Hall. Second, that Mr. Churchill should go on record as being in favor of a emailer Board of Edu- cation, or at least that he would not do anything to hinder legin- lation intended to bring abow the formation of @ smaller board. Mayor Mitchel denied that ho en- acted a promise from Mr. Churchill to resign when asked. But he did acinit that he discussed a plan for a amailer board with Mr. Churchill, and that City Chamberlain Bruere was present. In bis testimony before the Brown Legislative Churchill #aid he waa opposed to a smaller Board of Education, which Mayor Mitchel has all along favored In view of this testimony Mayor Mitchel’s version of what occurred at the private conference he had with @7 |Churehill and at which City Chamber- lain Bruere was present, is very i- teresting. “It was true that I discussed a emaller Board of Education with Mr. Churchill in the presence of Mr. Bruere,” explains the Mayor. though he didn't flatly eay so, Chure- hill gave me the impression that he would support the plan for a smaller Board.

Increased blood pressure is no longer confined to old age; it is frequently found in men in their 40’s who are otherwise healthy. In such cases it points to ap- proaching degeneration of the arteries—a condition which in turn indicates those errors of diet that often end in various diseases of the stomach, kidneys, liver, nerves and heart. Among these errors of diet is coffee drinking, be- cause of the drug, caffeine, in coffee, the constant use of which weakens the walls of the arteries. Medical au- thorities now insist that in all cases of high blood press- ure there must be total abstinence from coffee, tea and other harmful beverages. Hard to give up coffee? Not at all, when one uses instead the pure food-drink— Instant Postum This delicious beverage is made of wheat, roasted with a little wholesome molasses. It is then reduced to asoluble powder, a'level teaspoonful of which with hot water makes a perfect cup instantly.
