Our advice is that unless a salary
OF $500 per year is in sight, stick
to your job in the country. One
thousand dollars per year or even
eight hundred in the country means
more to you there than will $500
in the city. Besides there is more
real downright comfort and happi-
ness in the country for the man and
his family, who has to work for his
living, than the city can afford

Some St. Valentine "Don'ts."

Remember that you want to enjoy
the st. Valentine party as well as
your guests; therefore observe these
rules:
Don't fret and worry every hour of
the preceding day until you are ner-
vous and sensitive to everything that
goes wrong.
Don't rush your games too close on
each others heels. Young people
like to talk.
Don't seem to be making an effort
to entertain them at every moment.
Suggest the games when the talking
grows a little less spirited.

PURE FOOD
No Food Commissioner of any State
has ever attacked the absolute
purity Of Grape-Nuts.

Every analysis undertaken shows
this food to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch
parts into form Of Sugar, and there
fore much easier to digest.
.s Our claim that it is FOOD for
Brain and Nerve Centres'' is based
upon the fact that certain parts Of
Wheat and Barley (Which we use)
contain Natures brain and nerve
building ingredients, viz, Phosphate
of Potash, and the way we prepare
the food makes it easy to digest and
assimilate.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey in his book on
aThe Biochemic System of Medicine"
says:
9 ~ When the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range of
the phosphate of potassium, insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
"The gray matter Of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-salt, potassium phosphate
This salt unites with albumen,
and by the addition of oxygen creates
nerve-fuid, or the gray matter Of the
brain.
"Of course, there is trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-fiuid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by it's own
law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir of life. There
fore, when nervous symptoms arise,
due to the fact that the nerve-fuid
has been exhausted from any cause,
the phosphate of potassium is the
only true remedy, because nothing
else can possibly supply the de-
ficiency.
"The ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter of the
brain cannot be overestimated.
Phosphate of Potash, is to my
mind, the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man, and
the blessings it has already conferred
on the race are many. But what
shall the harvest be- when physicians
Everywhere fully understand the part
this wonderful salt plays in the pro-
cesses Of life? 1t will do as much as
can be done through physiology to
make heaven on earth.
"Let the overworked business man
take it and go home good-tempered.
Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung
from attending to sick children or en-
Pertaining company, take it and note
how quickly the equilibrium will be
restored and calm and reason assert
her throne. No sprovings' are re-
quired here. We find this potassium
salt largely predominates in nerve
fluid, and that deficiency produces
well-defined symptoms. The begin
ming and end of the matter is to sup
ply the lacking principle, and in
molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes it in yegetables, fruits and
grain. TO supply defciencies- is
the only law Of cure. 2
Please observe that Phosphate of
Potash is not properly of the drug.
shop variety but is best prepared by
"Old Mother Nature" and stored in
the grains ready for use by mankind.
Those who have been helped to better
health by the use of Grape-Nuts are
legion.

How the Japanese Workman Lives.

The Japanese laborer receives poor
wages, but his food is very cheap.
He subsists mainly on coarse rice, of
which he has one meal day. Some
times, by way of a change, he has the
heads of fish or the insides of fowls
instead. He has water to drink, but
on festive occasions he has sake, the
wine of Japan, which tastes some
thing like sherry. He also has to pay
for mat to sleep on at night.

THE CANTEEN AS TT WAS
BY w. M. RUGGLES.

BY w. M. RUGGLES
Everyone, of course, has noticed how when
ever the most unimportant word is uttered in
behalf of the canteen it at once finds publica-
ton and republication, but that when really
valuable testimony against the canteen is given,
no hearing is accorded it in the press An il
ustrat1on OF this has been the failure of even
the Associated Press to report the utterances of
some OF the greatest generals of the army when
they have been opposed to the military grogshop.
while the irrelevant nonsense of some bow re-
crult or some volunteer officer who never saw a
days real service, are given "first page position
wholly longs1de reading matter" In view of

Army desertion has ever been and will con-
t1nue, as long as armies exist There is no
complete, permanent preventive. Desertions may,
however, be reduced by wise legislation When
the recognized business principles of other occu-
pations find force and effect in army life, then
the question of desertion will be to a great ex-
tent settled. First: A soldier should be SOL
der, and not servant for the officers of the
post A soldiers pay should not be less than
$50 per month, and rations, quarters and uni
form, with avenues of promotion open to him
from the day of enlistment to the end of his
service.
These conditions would induce young men
of good habits, with intellectual and physical
stamina to enlist. Last, but not least, whenever
an enlisted man does not show the qualities of
soldier whenever he becomes frequently
addicted to the liquor habit or Indifferent to his
duties, discharge him and let him go. His dis
charge should be given him at any time just the
same as in other lines of labor, whenever he
wanted it.

of discipline is nothing but humiliation, which
