Mental Photography.

A member of the Philadelphia Pho
tographic society has been trying the
new mental photography which has
been making some stir in Berlin. This
experimenter took blank photo
graphic plate into his dark room
bound it to his forehead, and for 80
minutes concentrated his thoughts on
the face of close friend of his.
The developed plate. which he says
is the identical one that he bound to
his forehead, shows. family, traces of
face that has many points of resem-
biance to that of his friend. Such at
least is the opinion of some who have
seen the plate, though others declare
that its markings are indeterminate
and look like nothing in particular.
The point raised by the experiment is
whether or not an image on the hu-
N an brain can be photographed, since
the X-ray can secure an image of the
arteries of body or of something in
clused in solid Opaque covering.

the interior department, on the recon-
mendation of Director Newell, whose
assistant Mr.. Davis has been for the
last few years in the vast work be-
irg done to conserve the waters of

WHERE CHILDREN ARE TAKEN.

Press. She was going there to find a

and their four little children. They
had tired of the suburbs and decided
to move to the city.
Arriving in the metropolis, Mrs
Gunbusta popped into the first real

going up to ruddy-faced, chubby
man seated at a polished desk, she
gasped:
Excuse me, sir-I'm Mrs. Gunbusta

replied the man, wheeling about in his
chair; there is a fine place two
blocks down, right on the corner: take

Murine and Wyeth's, were real malt
tonics, rich in nutrient properties and
showing less than two per cent of
alcohol. The remaining nine stonics :
actually contained mere alcohol than
the average beer. and were deficient in
malt extract.
Eleven malts, all that were on sale
in Topeka at that time" says Mr..
Dales, "were purchased and deter
limitations were made on them for
alcohol and extractiye material. OF
these eleven, only two were found to
meet the requirements of good malt.
The others were all too high in alcohol
and too low in attractive material.
Taking them up more in detail,
Anheuser- Buseh's Malt-Nutrine seems
the best and Wyeth's second. The
others, however, are quite popular,
probably because of their low price
and high percentage of alcohol, and
are freely sold by the glass at soda
fountains as beverage. -
In explanatio of the high percent
age of alcohol found in SO many of
the malt tonics, Mr.. Dales said: 'As
matter of fact, most malt extracts on
the market have either been allowed
to ferment or have had alcohol added

Results Of aTonIc Tests. .

In recent issue of the Topeka
Journal, Edwin Dales, student of
Washburn College, proves that malt
tonics sold 10 that city, with but two
exceptions, contain more alcohol than
does the average beer. Mr.. Dales
has been making a series of tests in
the college laboratory for q period of
nearly year, and submitted his find
ings as his thesis for graduation.
Kansas being prohibition state, his
paper created sensation, as many
of the prohibitionists were not aware
of the large percentage of alcohol in
q majority of the malt extracts they
we're using as q tonic.
Any drink containing over two per
cent of alcohol is under the ban of the
prohibitory law as it is interpreted in
Cansas. Mr.. Dales tried eleven diff
ferent tonics in preparing his analysis.
Two of these. Anheuser- Buseh's Malt

Let4he Entire South Rejoice.

The entire south should feel proud
of the fact that it is the possessor of
Americas gre atest commercial school.
The January enrolment of the Tyler
Commercial College of Tyler, Texas,
surpassed in numbers that of any
other American college. More than
300 new students were enrolled during
the month, which is more than the
number enrolled by any other COM
mercial school in the q. s., and more
than double the number enrolled by
any other southern commercial school.
This now famous institution opened
it's doors to the public just seven years
ago. 1t has had rapid and continual
growth each year. Its wonderful sue
cess is due mainly to it's use of the
famous Byrne simplifed shorthand
and practical bookkeeping and busi-
ness training; its employing none but
the very best and most progressive,
teaching talent; its progressive, honest
business methods, and its deep interestin
it's students, not only while in school,
but in placing them in positions and
helping them to succeed after GRADUATE
ing. This institution can now point
with pride to its graduates in the high
est positions in every walk ofcommer-
cia1 life. It's courses of bookkeeping,
business training, shorthand, type
writing, telegraphy and station work
are the most thorough and complete.
Let the entire south now rejoice that
it can boast of not only one of the
largest commercial schools in Amer
lea, but one of the most thorough and
practical, one that is enabling young
men and women to more than treble
their earning capacity, and one that
holds that all true education is based
on character and honesty-a school
that strives hard to strengthen each
and every student morally as we'll as
in the technical and practical knowl-
edge of bookkeeping, business train
ing, shorthand, ,typewriting and tel
egraphy.
