AMERICAN BRAINS,
Brain Workers Require Special Foo

Brain Workers Require Special Food
 American brain workers have for some years past been largely using an especially prepared food for rebuilding the gray matter of brain and nerve centers. Any man or woman who cares to make test by using this food, Grape-Nuts, for a portion of one or two meals each day, will find distinct in- crease in vigor, and particularly in brain power.
 Then if they feel disposed to know the reason why, they can have Grape Nuts analysed, or take the analysis of the London Lancet, and the result will show that the food contains the natural phosphate of potash obtained in nat ura way from the cereals, and albumen obtained in the same way.
 These two elements unite together in the human body to make and rebuild the gray matter of which the brain, so- lar plexus and nerve centers are filled.
 These are scientific facts which can be ascertained by any careful investi- gator. The food, Grape-Nuts. is not only the most scientifically made food in the world, but almost any user will agree with us that the flavor is unique and most winning.

It is interesting to observe that in
 many tribes to-day the word for sugar IS precisely the word which they ap-
 piled to the product of the maple tree before they knew the white mans su-
 gar. It is interesting, also, to see that among many tribes the general term for sugar means wood or tree water-that is to say, tree sap. This is true of the Omahas and Poncas according to J. O.
 Dorsey, and also of the Kansas, Osage and Iowa, Winnebago, Tuscarowa and PaWnee. The Cheyennes, on the other hand, call 1t box elder water. A. r. Chamberlain, who has gone with great care into the question of the meaning of the words which designate the maple tree and it's product, is disposed to be- lieve that the name of the maple means the tree-in other words, the real or ac- tual tree, or the tree which stands above all others.-Forest and Stream.

SPINNING FLIES.


Curious Habits of Little Known h. sects.
 Among the eew insects capable of
 spinning in the imago state are certain little pseudo neuropterous flies of the
 family Psocidae Some insects of this
 family are wingless throughout life, and
 of these the little book Ice, which are
 commonly seen running over paper, arc known by sight to most people Those l Psocdae with which we are here con-
 cerned have not received any popular
 name. They are winged in tte imngo | state, ard are prettilv colored little flies, Of curious and plea ,lils. appear ance. living often gregaricuelt on tree trunks, palings, etc, as well as among the foliage of trees Their spinni'g habits have long been known West
 wood gives a statement communicated
 to him by Audouin. that the latter nat
 uralist had observed a female winged
 Psocus weave q web over oggs which
 she had deposited in the depression
 formed by the veins oH leaves. Hagen
 GS61 says generally th2t the females
 cover their eggs with d tissue, so that
 they form flat silvery spots; and Me
 Lachlan dSG7) states that the eggs are laid in patches on leaves, bark and otli- CT objects, the females covering them with q web. r'urther in 1881, Packard mentions having observed Psoc,ls lay eggs on leaves of lilac peac and horse chestnut; and he states that thay are covered with a fiat, round web like the "cocoon' of a spider, though only about q line in diameter. The principal obSer- vations, however are those of Pierre Huber, published in 1S43, and based on two Psocids-one with wings of uniform color and the other With those organs spotted with brown. The first individ- ual watched was on the upper side of a Cytisus leaf, in the depression formed by the midrib, where the creature was making a little shining white spot, oval in shape, and consisting, as was seen by means of strong lens, of a great number of slken threads, placed closely together and variously crossed. On examining the leaf against the light the little satiny patch of web was found to cover six small eggs. Subsequently,. on leaves of trees of various kinds Hu- her found many such patches, all cov- ering clusters of from six to fourteen | eggs.

, The Lower Part of the Large Streams
 May Have Few Fish.
 The condition in which the trout streams will be found to-day. the first day for legal fishing in them, is causing much speculation among the anglers all over the state. The general opinion is that the fishing will not be very good.
 Last fall. in the unusually severe drought, farmers in several counties reported that the trout were dying off by the hundreds in the few deep pools where they had crowded together as the water receded. They doubtless did not fare much better the last month or so, when some streams and ponds were frozen solid. Any trout that has sur vived the hardships of this kind from last season will be a willy fish that will require more than the usual amount of skill to land

The Deadly Bolt and
How to Dodge 1t.

ThundeTstorms and the deadly cleo

Wall Of the government weather
bureau has laid down the following
rules Of action during an electric
storm:
Keep away from water. Water, be-
ing one Of the best conductors Of
electricity known, attracts lightning.
Trees growing near the water and
piers and structures built out over the
water are the most dangerous spots
conceivable during a thunderstorm.
Open doors, windows and freplaces
are the most dangerous spots in
house. Electric currents have special
affinity for draughts Of warm, moist
