The man who uses his brain in planning and ex- ecuting valuable ideas has practically no limit to his money making success.
 The daily waste of brain and nerve cells caused by mental activity must be promptly replaced by new material, proper food. This is a natural process.
 Grape Nuts has for years been the ideal food for the brain worker. It is made of wheat and bar ley including the natural "vital phosphates" of these grains, which form, with the albumen of the food, the natural mate rial for brain cells.
 Try Grape Nuts with cream or good milk for breakfast and supper-it's delicious as we'll as up- building. 7

IMPROVEMENT OF
 POSTAL SERVICE
SENATOR 5uRNHAM INTRODUCES BILL TO PROVIDE PARCELS POST FOR RURAL DELIVERY FOR BENEFIT OF FARMERS.

Washington, February 1O-Senator Burnham of New Hampshire today in- troduced in Congress a measure of dis tinct importance to rural districts throughout the United States. It is a bill to provide rural delivery parcels post for merchandise and other articles actually mailed on rural delivery routes. The rural free delivery routes now num- Der more than 3S,0o0 and on them in excess of 15,OOO0 900 people receive a daily postal service.
 The measure introduced by Senator Burnham has the indorsement of the President and Postmaster General Meyer. It provides in brief for the establish ment of a domestic rural parcels post at special rates of postage for the delivery of foodstuffs, dry goods, drugs. books and other merchandise. The rate of. postage shall be cents for the first pound and ? cents for each additional pound or frac- tion thereof and on parcels weighing less than one pound as follows:
 Two ounces or less, 1 cent; over two ounces and under four ounces, cents; over four and not exceeding eight ounces, cents; over eight and not exceeding F ounces, cents and over F ounces and under one pound, cents.
 Two important limitations are placed on the use of the proposed parcels post by the following provisions:
 That nothing herein contained shall be taken as authorizing the acceptance or delivery at the special rates of post age herein provided of any parcel offered by any person acting as agent or repre- sentative upon commission or otherwise for any person or company not resident Oh such rural delivery route.
 7 That only such parcels shall be. re- ceived for delivery at the special rate of postage herein provided as are off, fered by bona fide merchants or dealers, whose regular places of business are on rural delivery routes and by residents on such routes in their individual ca- pacity."

Sleep

Sleep is nature's re- building period, when the energy used by the brain, muscles and organs is re- newed. If you lose sleep, your system is robbed of the strength sleep should give. Continued loss of sleep multiplies this loss until you become a phys ical wreck. Dr. Miles, Nervine quiets the irri- tated nerves and brings refreshing, invigorating sleep. Nervine contains no opiates, and therefor leaves no bad after-effects.
 For over two years l suffered un- told agonies; my friends thought I was going crazy. I could not sleep nor rest at all I tried different doc tors, but failed to find relief. My head would ache all the time; was like one drunk; could not concentrate my mind, and was so restless and worried that sleep was out of the question. After taking one bottle of Dr. Miles Nervine l felt wonderfully changed. I am now on my third bot tie and am gaining all the time. I can lie down and sleep like a child, and am able to do my work

 ''I do not quite understand Senator For aker's charge. because his statement it. self shows that notwithstanding the President knew that Postmaster Bryson favored Foraker, he sent in Bryson's name for postmaster at Athens, o.

After looking Up the matter, I not fled the President that the charges had been investigated. were not sustained The President then directed me to send in his name."

emergency issue. | The emergency issue we propose should enable the solvent banks of the country to meet at all times their demand obliga- tions and to respond to all unusual but legitimate business demands. It will save bankers and the public alike from further humiliating confessions of general insol- vency. It will be used in time of trouble to take the place heretofore filled by clearinghouse certificates, and it will rem der the use of illegal or questionable suo- sttutes for money unnecessary The obligation of the government to re- deem the notes of national banks is strengthened and more clearly defined. A definite pledge of convertiblity by the government is required by this act to be printed upon the face of every note Tine value of the national bank notes has al- ways been fixed in the minds of eur peo- pie by the certainty of government re- demption. No one stops to inquire whether a national bank is located in Maine or Texas, whether it's capital is great or small, or whether it's financial condition is such as to give credit to it's notes.
 A new form of notes if issued purely for emergencies and less carefully secured than existing notes would be discredited at once and their appearance would invite distrust.
 There should be no misunderstanding as to the sole controlling purpose of this bill It proposes by it's provisions to pre- vent panics and furnish the means of relieving panic conditions. We do not claim that it is a universal panaeea for all financial ills It is to give the ma tional banks the means of accomplishing by legal methods that which. in this crisis, they felt compelled to accomplish by ille- gal and destructive methods, to the great loss of the country. It makes no pre- tense of providing new monetary sys$m and tries no new experiment with ur'cur- rency. It surrounds notes to be issued by safeguards for ultimate payment similar to those now in use.
 The measure we offer can be supported without a violation of convictions by those who believe in a central bank of issue or by the advocates of an asset currency. 1t will not interfere with the adoption of any general plan of revision in the future.
 It recognizes existing conditions and the limitations which an enlightened public opinion has placed upon Congressional ac. ton.

Journal in a recent issue says:
"Gilsonite is the most abundant or
all known hard asphalt substances in
the United States. 1t is found in north.
eastern Utah, in Uintah and Wasatch
counties. where it occurs in vertical
cash veins or assures cutting across
nearly fiat Tertiary rocks. The veins
of Silsonite bear In general northwest

from thin stringers to several feet. AT

been reported. The same vein extends
for several miles with thicknesses va
rying from 4 to IL feet. The hori-.
2ontal length Of these veins Is known
to be many miles, but their vertical
depth as rule is unknown.
The best known OF the thicker de-
posits of gilsonite in Utah are in the

BILE localities are near Dragon and on

deposits are at Pariette, near Myton

Reports from Z. NJ. West, c. w. T..
Stevens and others. who Sunday inyes-
tigated the recent Developments in the
South Columbus Consolidated property
at Alta, express confidence that the
new ore encountered will yield enor-
nous returns to the company. The
party says that the ore body was en-
'countered infthe east drift No. 1 from
the lower tunnel level There a number
of big houlders We're encountered. They
were of copper glance and copper py-
rites along with lime. quartz and other
mixtures. The management believed
that this rock which ran from SO to 60
per cent copper. came from large ore
body in place.
K An upraise was started from the solid
formation to cut the ore body. 1t broke
into the place Saturday The ledge is
from 21a to 3ts feet wide and is almost
pure copper pyrites, it Is said.
The nt,estimating the prob
able dip. has started to sink a Wine
