WORKING ON BRAINS
Food Specialist Brings Out a Nov-

A food expert at Battle Creek. Mich, con-
nected with the Postum Cereal Company,
Linn. has produced a food especially i'm
tended for rebuilding the brain. 1t is WELL
known fact among physicians that ex-
animation Of perspiration and urine will tell
whether the individual has been actively

Brain work exhausts the phesphates which
appear In the excreta above mentioned. Adj
ministration of inorganic phosphorus or
phosphates does not readily supply the
waste, for nature demands that phosphates
be made up and blended in food which she
furnishes. Advantage has been taken OF
this knowledge and "a scientific selection of

have been put through mechanical processes

sas hills, and in the cast there is the regu-
lation stage villain, the adventures. a SIM
pie but manly young fellow, a product of
the hills. and devoted young woman, who,
after the unfaithful wife has clipped with
the scoundrel of the play, becomes the
angel of the mountain home. While the
play has few CONVERSATIONAL incidents,
1t is rather, on the Whole, a plain, simple
story OF domestic life in the hills, with here
and there a dash of comedy, a bit of
pathos, a number of heroic situations and
other elements calculated to arouse the
sympathy of the audience. Human

EIkhart,s Disba,ment Case,
.ial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
ELKHART, Ind, Sept Sat Lagrange
to-day Special Judge Merritt rendered a de-
csion in the disbarment case of Attorney
Jonas O. Hoover. of this city, who was
tried for twenty-five distinct cases of irreg-
ular practice The case was taken from
Elkhart county to Lagrange on change of
venue, and was tried at the spring term,
but various matters delayed the decision un-
til to-day. The judge finds the defendant
guilty and fixes his punishment at one years
suspension and to pay the cost of the case.
This item will be quite heavy, as most of
the witnesses went from this county, and
the talent engaged in the case on both sides
was high-priced. One of the most serious
as well as most peculiar charges against
Hoover was that he secured a divorce for a
person who not only did not order the ac-
ton but did not want a separation. Hoover
is one of the leading Democrats in the COM
munity and during the campaign of 1896 was
county chairman. It was mainly through
his influence that Bryan was induced to visit
E1khart on his tour Of vote-see6ing. Hoover
is quite active in one of the leading
churches.
