FEED BRAINS.
Scientific Selection of Food Adapted te
Brain Building.

The manner in which the human
body transforms food into tissue and
brain largely determines the kind OF
man or woman.
Proper food must be furnished the
laboratory (stomach) Or failure in pow
er, both physical and mental, is the
result.
One sure way to make brain tissue
that mind can play upon and produce
success in business or profession is To
furnish the body with selected food ele-
ments especially required in the build
ing of that peculiar grayish substance
of which the Solar Plexus, the Brain
and the nerve centerS throughout the
body are composed.
1913 per cent. of Postum Food Cof-
fee consists of Protein, tissue maker
while 66.11 per cent. consists Of Dex-
trine or British Gum, Grape Sugar
(terms given to certain highly nutri-
tive properties obtained from cereals)
and other energy and heat producing
elements, giving a total of 1924 pei
cent. of the exact food demanded by
nature for this work.
The analysis by DR.. B. F. Davenport

chemists, is of interest to thought

Share in Last Years Yukon Enterprise
$4,000 in Gold Dust.

John Rowe,a member. of the ''Lucky 1872
aeronauts who sailed from Portland a
year ago last lay in the Gloucester fish
ing schooner Louise r. Ranney, bound
for the gold fields of the Yukon, sur
prised his mother and young sister by a
letter which reached them yesterday, says
the East Machias correspondent of the
Lewiston journal. In the letter was a
certificate of deposit for $4,000 from a
Seattle, Wash. national bank, the certifi-
cate reading In the name of Rowe's young
sister, and an invitation to the mother
and sister to pass the winter with him in
Juneau. The letter assures them that
they will find the climate in Juneau less
rigorous than the Maine climate, but the
photograph of him self which came in the
letter has shaken their faith in the mild
ness of the climate for in the picture
Rowe is buried in furs. They will proba-
bly, leave for Juneau, however, as soon as
the crops are harvested.
Mrs. Rowe and her daughter carry on
tie farm here. three other sons being ship
masters on long ocean voyages.
Young Miss Rowe was in the garden
pulling weeds when her mother brought
the good news to her and then they both
fell to wedding and discussing John, just
as though they had not just received a
fortune and as if their existence through
the winter depended upon the crops pro-
duced on the farm.
John Rowe is 40 years of age and a
single man. He is a civil engineer by
profession. At IS he was a sailor and the
master of one of the biggest ships sailing
out of Machias bay. Afterwards he took
a course in civil engineering and was en-
ployed, before starting for Alaska, by the
Grand Iro Works of New York. His
last engineering job for that concern was
the construction of great iron pier and
