Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifies the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DIR.

ITO President Roosevelt: Permit q
parting word. You have the contest

render you all the assistance in my

enact law so enlarging the powers

expect to block the passage OF the bill
again.
"Stand by your guns. You have
developed a reform element in the re-.

leadership pass to some one else.

self: you owe it to your party and

A Denver Mans Discovery.

DENVER, Sept. 2S.-"At Anaconda,
Mont. where the big plant RECEIVERS
metallic copper by the holding salt by
elec:olysis, an expensive process, it
requires hours to secure the metal in
form In which it can be rolled into
sheet copper, can get metallic copper
from ore in Is minutes
This is the sensation sprung by Geo.
A. Waterbury, former postoftice in.
spector for 10 years in this city. If
his claims prove commercially true,
countless thousands of tons of low.
grade copper ore in Montana, Utah,
Colorado and other states will produce
untold wealth.
Waterbury, telling OF his discovery
in local paper, continues: ''Steel
or iron is usually used to precipitate
the metal from salt. With my process
l effect a great saving in the precipi.
tant and by using steam and compress.
sed air in melting:the metal into bars,
lose nothing by volatization."
He also says he can get more metal
out OF ore than an assayer's test will
show. He further states that gold.
silver and copper are essentially the
same metal. The only difference be-
ing in the molecular structure.
