PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioner Of Any State
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity Of 6rape-Nuts.

10 partlauy transform tne StarCn
parts into form Of Sugar. and there
fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that 1t is q "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centres" is based
upon the fact that certain parts Of
Wheat and Barley (which We use) con-
tain Natures brain and nerve building
ingredients. viz: Phosphate Of Pot
ash. and the way We prepare the food
makes it easy to digest and assimilate.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey in his book on
THE Biochemic System Of Medicine"
says:
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
fluid. or the gray matter OF the brain.
"Of course, there Is trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-fluid. but potassium phosphate
Is the chief factor. and has the power
within itself to attract. by Its own law
Of affinity. all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir OF life. Therefore.
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact that the nerve-Huid has been
exhausted from any cause. the phos-
phate OF potassium Is the only true
remedy. because nothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
"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
processes of life! It will do as much
~ can be done through physiology to
make . heaven on earth.
Let the overworked business man
take 1t and 90 home good-tempered.
Let the weary wife. nerves unstrung
from attending to sick children or en-
tertaining company. take It and note
how quickly the equilibrium will be
restored and calm and reason assert
her throne. No 'provings' are required
here. We find this potassium salt
largely predominates In nerve-Huid.
and that deficiency produces we'll
defined symptoms. The beginning and
end of the matter is to supply the
lacking principle. and In molecular
form. exactly MS nature furnishes II in
vegetables, fruits and grain. To sup
ply deficiencies-this IL the only law
Of cure"

to speak further on that day. BY re.
fusing to adjourn and thus continuing
the same day until the legislation shall
be enacted, 1t is only a matter of time
until any filibustering contingent can
be successfully sworn out"
Commenting on the effect Of these
changes Mr.. Burkett said:
"The present senate filibuster has
been productive of the greatest evolu.
ton In facilitating legislation since the
days OF the Fifty-frst congress when
Speaker Thomas B. Reed announced in
the house of representatives that gen
tlemen in their seats could be seen
as well as heard That announcement
was the result-of f1libuster and came
after rollcall where the Democrats
sat mute when their names were
called, and thus disclosed by the roll
call the lack Of quorum. Until Reeds
decision 1t was possible for the mi.
nority to compel the majority party to
have enough of their members pres.
ent all the time to equal quorum of
the house. But Reed decided that If a
man was present he was present.
whether he was willing to admit it or
not and thereupon he directed the
clerk to count the members present
that he saw as well as those that he |
heard.
1.-THE house Of representatives,
through the tightening-up of its rules
of limitation on debate have made it
almost impossible to defeat legislation
by filibuster. They may of course de-
lay it. They may cause great deal
of annoyance, but they can not defeat
t.
In the senate, however, the tradi-
lions Of the century have prevailed
and there has never been the slight
est hindrance to free and full debate.
The previous question has never been
invoked, nor has a motion ever pre-
vailed forcing a vote before all shall
lave spoken who may wish to do SO.
This absolutely unlimited debate has
Ilways furnished an opportunity for
lefeat of legislation by the process of
ilibuster and this process has been
Employed.
