Fad Foods Worthless.
Preminent Physical Director says
Malt Breakfast Food is only
Gereal 0f Value.

One of the ablest professors of physical
culture in the country, who IS in charge
OF nearly two thousand young men, IN
recent interview said: "Thegreat body OF
fad foods that are so extensively adver-
tised are utterly worthless for nourish-
ment. In many cases of these ready to
serve cereals the nourishment is all cooked
out OF them when the food is put up In
the package. Cereals like these, that are
eaten cold and dry. lay on ones stomach
like so much sawdust, or poultlce.
The one exception is Malt Breakfast
Food. | believe that this is true health
food, and as soon as its merits are appre-
ciated by physical directors it will be
the most popular of all foods. 1t is to
be cooked in the home, and when served
for breakfast is most appetizlng and
delicious. shall recommend it in all my
classes; for proper food is most import.
ant in the battle for strength and health"
This is strong language, but it is
undoubtedly true.
Talk over the question of food with
your physician, or your physical director,
and he will undoubtedly tell you that
cold, chippy, ready-cooked foods are
doing more to injure the health and
cause dyspepsia than anything else.
A warm dish of Malt Breakfast Food
is the right breakfast to begin the day !;
it supplies the stomach with vitality and
strength, and by it's nourishment and
faculties, both mental and physical.

business must be taken off the wirea
controlled by the Western Union COM
pany, and that means the absolute
cessation of business along the main
lines of electric communication in the
principal cities of America, says Pear

noon wire chiefs in each of the prin-
cipal cities and the towns and cities
leading to and from their large sis.
tiers cease sending or receiving mes
sages, no matter how important they
may be, and devote themselves to
switching on wires in such a way AZ
to make an unbroken circuit of com.
~munication from Washington around
the uttermost boundaries of the
United States. This is called an "un
broken national circuit" Thus. !
smooth track is made along which the
electric message may fash eneom,
passing the union and announcing the
time Of day. Ten seconds before the
time bell strikes comes another 81:
lence and then a mighty throb, a
titanic heartbeat from the foremost
factor in modern commerce, and. an
electric current pulsates from the At.
lantic to the Pacific, from Gotham to
the golden gate, announcing the fact
that the sun has passed over ths
seventy-ifth meridian and it is noon

Muscle and Brain.

In: one of his recent lectures at
Clark University, Prof. Angelo Mossso,
of TURIN, averred that "Physical edu-
GATOR: and gymnastics serve not only
for the development of the. muscles,
but for that of the brain as well"
It is becoming evident, he said, that
as much time: should be devoted to
muscular exercise as to intellectual
exercise, and children should begin
reading and writing only after they
are nine years old. Muscular fatigue
exhibits phenomena identical With
intellectual fatigue. Nerve cells show
on the average every ten seconds a tend.
ency to rest. tits probable that only
part of the brain is active at 4 time;
the various parts relieve. each other
The more mobile any animals extrem-
tiles are the.more intelligent, other
things beinnggSSequal,, he says.
