Further on he says: "The beginning and end
of the matter is to supply the lacking princi-
pie; and in molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain.
To supply defciencies-this is the only law Of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that If Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
1t. you have brain fag because It's daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, If you eat food known to
be rich In this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
In the trial a sheer was uttered because MI.

search in this country and some clinics of
Europe, regarding the effect of the mind on
digestion Of food.
But we must be patient with those who
sheer at facts they know nothing about.
Mind does not work we'll on a brain that is
broken down by lack of n~ourishment.
A peaceful and evenly poised mind is neces-
sary to good digestion.
Worry, anxiety, fear, hate, &C., &C., directly
interfere with or stop the flow Of Ptyalin, the
digestive juice Of the mouth, and also inter.
fere with the flow Of the digestive juices of

Therefore, the mental state Of the individual
has much to do (more than suspected) with
digestion.

What About Brain Food?
This Question Came Up in the Recent
Trial for Libel.

A weekly printed some criticisms of the
claims made for our foods. 1t evidently did
not fancy our reply printed in various news
papers, and brought suit, for libel. At the trial
some interesting facts came out.
Some of the chemical and medical experts
differed widely.
The following facts, however. were quite
clearly established:
Analysis of brain by an unquestionable au-
thority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
phate Of Potash, 2.91 per cent of the total.
6.33 of all Mineral Salts.
This is over one-half.
Beaunis, another authority, shows "Phos-
phoric Acid combined" and Potash 1874 per
cent from a total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-half of Phos-
plate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus, (Which join and make Phos-
plate Of Potash), is considerable more than
one-half of all the mineral salts in the food.
DR.. Geo. W.. Carey, an authority on the con-
stituent elements of the body, says: 1.-THE
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic c~ell-salt, Potassium Phosphate
phosphate Of Potash). This salt unites with
albumen and by the addition of oxygen creates

NEW SAPPHIRE NOT GENUINE
French Scientist Discovers Solution of
Problem That Has Baf1ed
Many Heretofore.

News comes from Paris that at last
artificial sapphires have been pro.
duced, after many unsuccessful expert
ments.
Artificial rubies are now an old
story. The artificial stones have all
the properties, chemical, physical and
optical, of the natural gems. The only
way in which experts can detect them
is by finding them too perfect, as the
natural gems have microscopic irregu-
larities and Enclosed imperfections
that are absent from the artificial
product.
The stumbling block in the making
of %sapphires has been the color. Eth
er the experimenters could not pro-
duce desired blue, OF the stone would
have a crystalline structure that made
its detection easy.
Now, however, M. Verneuil has sub
mitted to the academy of sciences
stones which he has made, colored
with oxide Of titanium, which, after
a severe examination, are pronounced
identical with true sapphires, though
1T is just possible that cutting them

MOTOR CAR USED IN 1861
Elijah Ware Raced Machine Against
Fast Horses Nearly Fifty Years
Ago-Was Success.

1t is generally understood that the
era of the motor car dates from 1870.
but it has recently been found" said
Jesse W. Perkins of Portland, Me-, to
a Washington Post reporter, that
Elijah Ware, once a well-known rail-
road construction engineer in Boston
and vicinity, invented a very success.
full machine in 1861.
Its success may be Judged from the
fact that Mr.. Ware was in the habit of
racing his car with fast trotting horses
ON the old plank road at Bayonne, N.
j., and was able to go over fields, up
hill and down dale. He was always
thinking of some mechanical schemes,
put could not order his groceries with
out being cheated or imposed upon.
The house is still standing where he
built his auto. The machines appear
ance, when completed, resembled a
modern fire engine more than an auto
mobile. Wood was used for fuel, and a
small iron boiler generated steam for
the oscillating engines. With the steel
and grass machinery and gayly paint
ed woodwork it must have had quite
a dashing appearance.
When Mr.. Ware completed and
first tried his engine a crowd collected
to see the first run. AS a whole the
people looked unfavorably at Elijah's
achievement, and some went so far as
to have it denounced by police authori-
ties as a public nuisance, because
they thought it would brighten the
horses. But it seems that the people
who tried to help him were the most
annoying. When n man asked If
there was anything for him to do Mr..
Ware replied, The trouble is there
are too many trying to help Mr..
Ware ran his machine very slowly in
the streets, and those who saw him
say that his steam carriage made less
noise than the modern automobile. On
the roads he went like the wind, &C
cording to witnesses in the country.
The people under %stovepipe hats and
poke bonnets must have been sur
prised when the glittering engine
came whizzing along the peaceful
roads, without rails. kicking up dust
and vomiting smoke wherever it
went"

Lo. the Rich Indian.

The per capita wealth of the Indian
is approximately $3.50, that for other
Americans Is only a little more than
$1,000. The lands owned by the In
dams are rich in oil, timber and other
natural resources of all kinds. Some
OF the best timber land in the United
States Is owned by Indians.
The value of their agricultural lands
runs up in the millions. The ranges
which they possess support about $780,
600 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees,
bringing in a revenue of more than
$272,0OO to the various tribes besides
providing feed for more than 1,50O,O 900
head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats
belonging to the Indians themselves.
Practically the only asphalt deposits
In the United States are on Indian
lands.-Red Man.

Moslem Traditions.

Ramadan is the month exalted by
Moslems above all others. In that
month the Koran-according to Mos
lem tradition-was brought down by
Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men in small sections. In that month,
Mohammed was accustomed to retire
from Mecca to the cave of Hira, for
prayer and meditation. In that month
Abraham, Moses and other prophets
received their divine revelations. In
that month the doors of heaven are
always open, the passages to hell are
shut, and the devils are chained" So
run the traditions.-The Christian
