Every analysis undertaken showz
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.
Our claim that It is a 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 preTrre
the food makes it easy to digest and
esslmilate.
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-nuid, or the gray matter of the
brain.
"Of course, there IS a trace OF other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-huid, 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
manufacture the elixir Of life. There
Tore, 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-
fciency.
The Ills arising from too rspide~
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 1t 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 overworl1ed business man
take 1t and go 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 re-
quired here. We find this potassium
salt largely predominstes In nerve
fluid, and that deficiency produces
symptoms. The begin
ming and end OF the matter is to sup
ply the lacking principle. and in
molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes 1t in vegetables. fruits aad
grain: To supply deficiencies-tkis Is
the only law OF cure"
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

former well known resident of the Bijou
Basin locality southeast of Elbert:
Eagle hill, Alberta, Canada, Feb. 3, '0S.
Editor Tribune,
Ebert, Colo,
Dear Sir:-I will try
to give you a more complete description
of this part of King Edwards domain.
Alberta is about 500 miles IN length,
north and south, 800 east and west. In
so large a territory there is bound to be a
great diversity Of soil and climate. The
province IN south and east is rolling
prairie with an abundance of hay. The
north and west is more broken and II
tlmbered with open parks or marshes
that afford plenty of range for stock the
whole year round. This is a mixed farm
ing and dairy country. Stock raising il
also very extensively carried on. There
is ar abundance of pure water in numer
GUS creeks and rivers: also numerous
small lakes and ponds which supply the
stock, and plenty Of springs and shallow
wells for domestic use.
The principle crops are wheat, (both
winter and spring. oats, barley and fax;
also the various root crops. The climate
is very similar to that of the Divide
country of Colorado, but being farther
north, the days in winter are much
shorter, and in summer correspondingly
longer. In the shortest days in winter
the sun rises about $3.50 a. m and sets al
i:30 p. m. while in the long days of sum
mer the sun rises at 3:3G a. IN. aud sets
at $50 to 8 o'clock in the evening, with
a long twilight at both ends The win
ters are steady cold with little wind
The mercury has only reached II degrees
below zero so far this winter. but has

but it is all here, except where worn out
by travel, and in the bush it is loose and
light, not having settled or packed
particle.
Land is a good price, raw lands selling
from 50 to Sl5 per acre, according to 10
cation and distance from the railroad
Improved lands range from SO to $50
according to location and improvements
Taxes are higher than in Colorado, but
are purely local for roads and schools
There is no tax on personal property,
Just land tax: it amounts to about Sl4
per quarter section per year.
| have never for one minute since
spring opened last year, regretted com
ing here. 1t was a great contrast, leav
ing Colorado with everybody busy farm
ing, and landing in Alberta in two feet
of snow; but according to letters re
ceived, the situation is reversed this
winter. | have not worn an overshoe so
far this winter: simplya pair of leather
boots and wool socks. My other clothes
are the same as | wore in the States
If anyone asks you what | think of
this country, tell them Alberta is good
enough for John. VIII write again in
the spring.
