India's Precious Metals.

It Is estimated that 81, 500, 900. 900 in
gold, and perhaps as much in silver,
is hidden away in the Hindu stocking;
Vast quantities of the precious metals
are known to be kept in the form OF
personal ornaments. From time immeS
mortal India has been a reservoir into
which the precious metals have flowed
from all quarters of the globe, only to
disappear from statistics. Could the
idle wealth be drawn upon, the effect
on the industrial and commercial life
of the country would be very great. 1t
is, therefore, a matter Of concern to
try to turn midas dormant capital to
active use. 1t may be impossible to
do it. The Oriental mind views every.
thing in a way incomprehensible to
westerners. But if only a 1.-THE of the
concealed boards of India were vital
ized a new aspect might be given to
the conditions of life in England'a
great eastern empire.

Near.Butter."

Time was when the very name "ole-
omargine" carried disgrace. 1t was
said under breath, and a personal
knowledge of it never admitted. But
times have changed; the enactments
against it, designed to protect the
dairy and creamery interests, have
lifted the veil Of mystery and made 1t
an acknowledged article of commerce.
Oleomargarine is not a substitute
for butter; it is not an imitation OF
butter; it is artiicially produced but
ter.
There is nothing now secret about
it's composition or manufacture.
The formula, although varied in de-
tail by each maker, was invented by
a Frenchman in 1869, in response to
a demand made by Napoleon III. for
a butter substitute for the army sup
ply. The Frenchman who Won the
prize experimental on the theory that
the butterfat in the cows milk was
absorbed from the animal tissues Of
the COW, and he believed that the same
butter-fat could be extracted directly
from the beef-fat of the slaughtered
animal. His experiment proved uc-
cessful, but the American has i'm
proved on his crude discovery. Nearly
all the raw materials of this near-but-
ter are found in the big packing
houses; they consist mainly of oleo-
oil and neutral lard. The oleo-oil is
obtained from the fat of cattle.
Since the vigorous protests made in
1902 by the dairy. interests, congress
imposes a tax on all butterine which
is colored, and as a rule the manu-
facturer leaves his product white. The
coloring is done by the consumer or
the unscrupulous dealer.

WANTED TO KNOW
The Truth About ~Grape-Nuts Food.

It doesn't matter so much what you
hear about a thing, it's what you know
that counts. And correct knowledge
is most likely to come from personal
experience.
"About a year ago." writes a N. Y.
man, II was bothered by indigestion,
especially during the forenoon. I tried
several remedies without any perman-
ent improvement.
"My breakfast usually consisted Of
oatmeal, steak or chops, bread, coffee
and some fruit.
Hearing SO much about Grape-Nuts,
I concluded to give it a trial and find
out if all I had heard of it was true.
$50 1 began with Grape-Nuts and
cream, 2 soft boiled eggs, toast, a cup
Of Postum and some fruit. Before the
end of the first week I was rid of the
acidity of the stomach and felt much
relieved.
"By the end of the second week all
traces of indigestion had disappeared
and I was in first rate health once
more. Before beginning this course Of
diet, I never had any appetite for
lunch, but now / can enjoy a hearty
meal at noon time" There's a Rea-
son."

Bridoet's B~eatjtudeS.

Blessed is the bit of rhubarb added
to the canned blueberries to improve
the flavor. It is a great help in pies.
Blessed is the clean brick used as
an iron-stand. 1t is better than metal,
since the brick is almost a non-con-

Blessed is the dash of Roquefort

a half-hour before serving, and toss
lightly with a fork. Arrange in sep

center. The use of these ingredients
is not novel-it is the plan of serving
them unmixed, wherein we follow the
Russian custom.

lack of space, books were piled up III
every direction. on chairs. desks, tables
and the floor, Mr.. Spofford could go to
a pile and select the book he wished
with unerring accuracy. Nor was this
knowledge confined to his own library
1t is related of him that on one occa-
sion, after failing to- satisfy General
Lew Wallace by giving him the books
on a certain subject in the Congress
sional library. he told the general that
the volume he ought to see was in the
Harvard library and gave him its title

position the volume occupied on the
shelf-"sixth from the south end" II
there is any exaggeration in this. it IL
slight. and in addition to memorizine
such things. Mr.. Spofford had fairly
encyclopedia knowledge on all topics
of human interest. He himself was for
years the Congressional library, at least
to all intents and purposes, and the
number of congressional and senatorial
speeches he influenced would run into
the thousands. When the new library
was completed Mr.. Spofford's services
were retained, despite a lack of bust
ness instinct. And no government serv-
ant ever deserved more consideration
at its hands

NATIONAL MOVEMENT FOR
PUBLIC HEALTH IS EXPECTED
TO SAVE MILLIONS OF LIVES

exercise of proper precautions against
the bacillus bearing mosquitoes, and
diphtheria has succumbed to the anti
toxin treatment.
The committee estimate from past
records both in the United States and
in foreign countries that many, if not
most existing diseases could be COM
pletely eliminated by the proper appli-
cation OF existing knowledge. Among
the first duties of the national board of
health as outlined by the committee of
one hundred are the regulation of wa
ter and milk sources, in which the ma
tional board will cooperate with the
state and city boards of health. These
measures Will be followed by an effort
TO educate the general public in the
principles of hygiene and by strict
suppression of quackery and the vend-
ing of harmful patent medicines.
Supervision of Water Supply.
One of the most valuable actions of
the national health board will be the
supervision Of the water supplies
throughout the country. In many in
stances the state boards Of health are
not in a position to thoroughly exam
inc the water supplies throughout their
jurisdiction. as many of these supplies
have their origin in other states. 1t
will be part of the duty of the bureau
TO supply sufficient data concerning all
the sources of water supply throughout
the country to enable the local boards
of health to AT once determine any
harmful change in the chemical con-
tents of the water, and to take steps to
remedy the fault before it shall have
become the source of typhoid fever or
other diseases
DR.. r. w. Fisher. secretary of the
Utah state board of medical examiners,
who is the local representative of the
committee of one hundred, in speaking
of the work Of the committee, said
THE health of the citizens of the
United States is of more moment than
the health of the hogs raised in the
United States. The department of agri-
culture has expended thousands OF dol
lars In stamping out cholera among
swine, and yet the terrible mortality
among the people of this country from
tuberculosis, pneumonia, typhoid and
other preventabe diseases is looked
upon with perfect resignation. The av-
erage longevity of the people of the
United States could be increased one
half by proper bureau of health under
government supervision. AS President

For the Public Good.

Roosevelt said, the preservation of the
national vigor should be a matter of
patriotism.
For the Public Good.
The people of Utah should use every
effort to induce the representatives and
senator's from this state to aid such
legislation as would secure the organ
ization of all existing public health
agencies into a single national health
department, with such powers as would
give the federal government the strong
est possible control over all public
health interests not now covered by the
respective states. The committee of
one hundred is not composed of medi-
cal men. but of the most prominent pro-
fessional business men and women of
America. 1t cannot be charged that any
legislation advanced by them is for the
benefit of the members of the medical
profession. The movement is solely for
the public good. and tends for the in
crease of public prosperity"
