Women Not In Demand.

Mr.. Arnold Shanklin, Just returned
from Panama, says that men who go
to Panama seem to think a wife one
OF the first necessities, but generally
they are provided with sweethearts,
who either come to them properly
chaperoned or they 60 back to the
states for them. The government
builds nice six.room houses for the
married men, and there is a very
pleasant social set being formed. He
did not seem to agree with Miss
Helen Varick Boswell that old maids
or bachelor girls are wanted there,
the inference being that the right
sort of men are either married or
about to be when they go to Panama.

PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioner of Any State
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity of Grape-Nuts.

Every analysis undertaken shows
this foed to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch
parts int form of Sugar, and there
fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that 1t is a "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 perve-building
ingredients, viz: Phosphate of Pot
ash. and the way We prepare the food
makes 1t easy to digest and assimilate.
DIR. 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
ceil-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 a trace of other
salts and other organic matter In
nerve-fuid, 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 nerye-fuid 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 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
processes of life? It will do as much
as can be done through physiology to
make heaven on earth.
Let the overworked business man
take 1t and go home good-tempered.
Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung
from attending to sick children or en-
PERTAINING company, take 1t 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 nredominates in nerve-fiuid.
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 as nature furnishes 1t in
vegetables, fruits and grain. To sup.
ply deacienctes-this 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
"OId 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.
There's Reason"

An army officer in charge of a ma.

to the kafir boy who acted as his par.

The boy was delighted with the gift,
and at once sat down and put the

But at the end OF the week he ap.

''Hello!" said his master. "Why

AS YET UNKNOWN TO FAME.
Can Any One Place This Quotation
from Philosopher?

Louis Jones of the Grand opera
house had the blues. His brother, a
colored man, usually In good humor,
had 'em, too. Neither knew just why
he had 'em, but they had 'em just the
same. They talked of the weather,
the times and dozen other gloomy
subjects. There was nothing sunny
in the soul of patron or a barber.
Finally both sighed In concert and a
silence fell over the shop-yes, over a
barber shop. The colored man was
the first to speak. After several mo-
ments of silence he gave vent to an.
other sigh and said:
well, as de old philosopah says:
'Ef yo' amt got nothln,' now's yo'
time"
Jones is still wondering who the
philosopher was.-Indianapolis News

For Patent Medicine Law.

One of the legislative measures to
be asked by the state anti-saloon
league is law regulating the sale of
patent medicines. All the points of
the present mulct law regarding the
sale of whisky will be asked to apply
to the sale of patent medicines.
The league would require that all
drng stores handling these goods be
required to sign a permit, and that
all buyers of such medicines that come
under this list sign blank that the
ingredients to be taken by the patient
is for medicinal purposes only. The
same law that affects minors and in
ebriates for whisky would apply to the
sale of patent medicines. The league
claims this legislation because of the
pure food report of analysis of these
medicines showing the large per cent
of alcohol in the ingredients.
