Food Cure
NATURES
WAY
See Diet List Below.
HEALTH RECLAIMED VIA FOOD.

- -
A man may try all sorts of drugs to
help him to get well, but, after all
the food cure" is the method iE+@nd-
ed by Nature.
Anyone can prove the efficacy of the
food cure by making use Of the follow
ing breakfast each morning for fifteen
or twenty days:
A dish containing not more than four
heaping teaspoOnsful Of Grape-Nuts
food enough good, rich cream to go
with it. some raw or cooked fruit, not
more than two slices Of en-
tire wheat bread. and not
more than one cup of Postum
Food Coffee, to be slipped, not drank
hurriedly. Let this suffice for the
breakfast.
Let one meal in the day consist of
an abundance of good meat, potato,
and one other vegetable.
This method will quickly prove the
value of the selection of the right
kind of food to rebuild the body and
replace the lost tissue which is de-
stroved every day and must be made
mn. or disease of some sort enters In.
This is an age Of specialists, and the
above suggestions are given by spec
ialist in food values, dietetics and
hygiene.

AN IMPORTANT
PUBLICATION
speeIaI 70 The Journal.

SHCNtGN ~ NuC eeAiNois
Washington, May 17.-One of the
most important but less heard of pub
locations issued by the United States
government is that entitled Treas
ury Decisions" This publication is
gotten out by the Printing Division of
the Treasury Department, under the
supervision of a capable force, and is
published promptly at II O'Clock noon
on Thursday of each week. This dOcu-
ment usually runs from thirty to sixty
pages, and contains matter of unusual
interest to the business interests Of
the country, such as decisions of the
secretary Of the treasury and other Of
ficars of the department affecting the
customs service, the rulings of the in
ternal revenue bureau on whlskey and
tobacco cases, abstracts of decisions
Of customs and ether cases by courts
and the Board of General Appraisers
in New York, and a mass of other mat
ter of interest TO business men. These
decisions often represent many mil
lions Of dollars, and the least slp-up
in figures on the part Of those prepar-
ing this publication causes much trOu-
ole. An instance may be cited. In
one of the decisions not long ago the
copy read washed WOOL instead of
'un-washed wool" When the deci-
sions reached the hands of those in
terested there Immediately came a
flood of letters to the department, es-
timated at the hundreds, questioning
the decision. The mistake was i'm
mediately observed and the necessary
correction made. Prior to 1898 this
publication was issued once a month
and sometimes not then, it being got
ten out almost at any convenient
time. Secretary Of the Treasury Gage
realized the importance of these deci-
sions to the business world and was
instrumental in having the document
issued every week, which is now done.

LIGHT ON THE
SPONGE TRUST
Pure White Lead and Pure Lin.

The light of publicity was thrown
upon the sO-called sponge trust at a
hearing before the House Committee
on Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
incidentally a great deal of interesting
information was brought out concern
ing the sponge industry in Florida. Two
bills which recently passed the senate
were the subject of the hearing. One
of them proposes to prohibit aliens
from taking or gathering spOnges in
the waters Of the United States, and
the other provides regulations for
landing, delivery, cure and sale of
sponges.
A A. Seraphic of Tarpon Springs,
Fla, appeared in opposition to the
bills. He declared that if the meas
ures were enacted into law they would
kill the industry in Florida and force
the operators to make Cuba their
headquarters, but at the same time
they would fish off the Florida coast,
outside of the three mile jurisdiction
of the United States.
The charge is made that the sponge
trust. which is said to have its head
quarters in New York, is behind the
pending bills, and that it desires to
limit the output in order to run up
prices. One of the arguments made
in support of the bill is that at the
present rate of fishing on the Florida
coast the sponge beds there will soon
become exhausted.
Mr.. Seraphic said that the beds re-
plenish themselves every two years
and that they attain a growth of three
inches every twelve months. In sup
port of this statement he quotes gov
eminent experts who recently made
an exhaustive investigation of the
sponge beds on the Florida coast.
The bill regulating the handling of
sponges, Mr.. Seraphic declared, would
absolutely prevent fishing for sponges
in the six months of the year when it
is possible to do so, a closed season
of six months, covering warm weather
being provided.
It was brought out at the hearing
that nearly all of the sponges sold
in this country are "doped" to give
them weight Buyers direct the sell
ing concerns to leave part of the sand
and dirt in the sponge as it comes
from the water The sponge is then
doctored with glucose, and as it is sold
by weight, the profits are greatly in
creased. Two hundred pounds OF
clean sponge. Mr. Seraphic declared,
weigh three hundred pounds when
put through the glucose process.
