There were many evidences that the
plot to kill Portugals monarch had
been planned to the minutest detail.
King Carlos had been warned of lis
danger and an extra strong escort was
in attendance. The fact that the

but no substantiation is obtainable.
King Carlos within twelve hours re-

The news of the assassination swept
through the city like fire through dry

panic-stricken, not knowing where the

being plunged into the throes of rev..

among those who have been working
politically for the establishment event

pressed OIL every hand at the dreadful
end of the king and the crown prince.
At the first blush it would seem as
though the assassination was the work
of anarchists and not of republican
sympathizers. Nevertheless. the stir

prepared the people for some startling

The pain soothing virtues of st. ia

meet all cases where pain exists, and
where an outward application is gen.
orally applied. st. Jacobs Oil is truly
worth its weight in gold. even for the
cure of nerve pains (and pretty well
all bodily pains proceeding from the

fully the essential elements are com

enables it to seek out the painful spot

The Discovery of Iron.

The stone age, bronze age and iron
age so overlap one another it is I'M
Or ends. Men began to use both bronze
and iron long before stone had ceased
to be used. In fact, America was in
the stone age so late as its discovery
by Columbus 400 years ago. 1t is safe
to say that history proper and the iron
age were born together anywhere from
5000 to 10000 years ago. 1t is more
than likely that men gained their first
information concerning the properties
of iron through experiments with the
pieces of it that had fallen from the
sky in the shape of meteors.-New

PURE FOOD.
No Food Com m ssiOner Of Any State
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity of Grape-Nuts.

No Food Com issioner 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 a form of Sugar, and therefore
much easier to digest.
Our claim that it is "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centers" 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 as
simulate
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-fuid, or the gray matter of the
brain.
of course, there is a 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 manu-
facture the elixir of life Therefore,
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact that the nerve-fuid has been
exhausted from any cause, the phos-
plate of potassium is the only true
remedy, because nothing else can pos
sibly supply the deficiency. 80
The ills rising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter OF the
brain cannot be oyerestimated.
Phosphate Of Potash is to my mind
the most wonderful curative agent
ever discovered by man, and the bless
ings it has already conferred on the
race are many. But what shall the
harvest be- when physicians every
where fully understand the part this
wonderful salt plays in the processes
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 OF 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-fuid,
and that a deficiency produces we'll
defined symptoms. The beginning
and end of the matter is to supply
the lacking principle, and in molecu-
lar form, exactly as nature furnishes
it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply defciencies-fhis 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
legion.
