President Signs Proclamation with
Eagle Quill Admitting Indian
Territory and Oklahoma.

Washington-A new star was added
to the American flag by the admis-
sion formally into the Union of the
state of Oklahoma President Roose-
welt, at 1916 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, signed the proclamation admitting
the Territory of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory Jointly as one of the Ameri-
can states. In appending his sigma
ture to the proclamation, the presi-
dent used a pen formed from a quill
plucked from the wing of an Ameri-
can eagle. The pen will be deposited
with the Oklahoma Historical Society.
There was absolutely no ceremony
connected with the signing of the
proclamation. The act was done in
the cabinet room, to which had been
admitted Senators Carter and Dick
son of Montana and Warner of Mis-
souri,, besides number of residents
of Oklahoma, most of whom are con-
nected with government departments
in Washington, and newspaper repre-
sentatives.

Foreign Gold Status.
In answer 10 the query whether the
gold inflow had ceased, one of the
keenest foreign exchange experts in
the United States, who had been in
consultation with the leading bankers
of the clearing house as to the chances
of getting more gold from Europe,
made this statement 80
I'VE will get all the gold we need
from Europe. Whether it comes from
Paris or from London is immaterial.
1t may be $5,O0O,O00 or $1O000,000 or
any sum; our bid will certainly be ef-
fective in Europe under the extraordi-
nary conditions prevailing in this mar
ket. AS long as we bid or 31a per
cent for currency we shall get gold.

MEN OF AFFAIRS
Need Proper Food to Supply the Brain.

A medical journal comments on the
restless brain worker Of our large cities
and refers to the fact that he thinks he
knows as much about the needs of the
brain. when he is tired and shows brain
flag. as a trained practitioner
He is inclined to spur up the tired
organs by some stimulant or perhaps
quiet his complaints by some narcotic
and this plan goes on until suddenly
he collapses. for brain flag is a sure sign
that the elements that compose the
brain are being more rapidly used up
than replaced by the food.
There is really a choice of but two
pathways for an active brain worker-a
man of affairs-when he shows symp-
toms of breaking down Either he must
quit work or he must have food that will
replace the structure of brain and nerve
centers as rapidly as they are used up
each day.
Chemical analysis Of the particles
thrown out through the pores Of the
body shows that after continued brain
work. large portion Of excreta contains
phosphate Of potash. II is known that
when this element is furnished by the
FOOD IN proper quantities, the system
unltes II with albumen and from that
compound makes the gray matter that
mis- the nerve centers and the brain
This is an especial feature of the food
known as Grape-Nuts. a delicious. readv-
cooked and predigested breakfast food
a definite and well understood gain in
brain power and physical strength will
set in after Grape Nuts has been used
eight or ten days, and sustained and
continued brain work can be carried on
II reliance is placed upon this food of
connection with the ordinary food OF the
