OREGON CAN GROW FINE TEA
But II Cannot BE Made to Pay In Com
petition With Coolle Labor OF
China and Japan.

Marshfield. ORE. o. Stemmler Of
Myrtle Point. has demonstrated that
tea can be grown successfully in Coos
county. On his ranch outside that city
where the climate is milder than on
the coast, he has for several years
grown fine crops of tea.
He secured from the government
Japanese tea plants and had no trou-
bile In making the crop thrive and pro-
duce we'll. Mr.. stemmler also is able
to cure the leaves and make o fine
product which is used by himself and
friends.
He says that the only reason why
tea cannot become a commercial crop
In this country is the fact that help
Is needed to pick the crop and is too
expensive to compete with the coolies
of Japan and Ceyion.

For those particular people who
desire beautiful complexion and
who want to keep the skin at It's
best all the time-keep it clear,
flexible, smooth and give 1t the glow
of health-there is nothing as good
as A. ID. s. Peroxide Cream, because
it contains small quantity OF
Hydrogen Peroxide, the great anti
septic healing and cleansing agent.
It's action upon a red, blotched,
pimply, scaly, unsightly skin is very
pronounced.
When used as a massage 1t has
tendency to eradicate wrinkles
and to nourish the tissues. 1t Is a
mild bleach-perfectly harmless
and will not grow hall.

10, the Rich Indian,

The per capita wealth of the Indian
Is approximately $3.50, that for other
Americans is only 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,
900 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees,
bringing in revenue Of more than
S272,OO0 to the various tribes besides
providing feed for more than 1900. 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.

Our Voices,

[ think our conversational soprano,
as sometimes overheard in the cars,
arising from a group Of young persons
who have taken the train at one of
our great industrial centers, for in
stance, young persons OF the female
sex, we will say, who have hustled in
full dressed, engaged in loud, strident
speech, and who, after free discussion,
have fixed on two or more double
seats, which having secured, they pro-
coed to eat apples and hand round
daguerreotypes-I say, I think the
conversational soprano, heard under
these circumstances, would not be
among the allurements the old enemy
would put in requisition were he get
ting up a new temptation of st. An
thOny.
There are sweet voices among us,
we all know, and voices not musical,
it may be, to those who hear them
for the first time, yet sweeter to us
than any we shall hear until We listen
to some warbling angel in the over
ture to that eternity of blissfuI har-
monies we hope to enjoy. But why
should I tell lies? If my friends love
me, it is because I try to tell the
truth. I never heard but two voices
in my life that frightened me by their
Weetness.-Holmes

New Process Of Staining Glass.

The art Of coloring glass has been
lost and rebound, jealousy guarded
and maliciously stolen so many times
in the history of civilization that 1t
seems almost impossible to say any
thing new on glass staining. Yet a
process has been discovered for ma
king the stained glass used in windows
which Is departure from anything
known at the present time What the
Venetians and the Phoenicians knew
Of 1t we cannot tell.
The glass first receives its design In
mineral colOrs and the whole Is then
fired in heat so intense that the col
oring matter and the glass are fndls-
solubly fused The most attractive
feature Of this method IS that the sur
face acquires a peculiar pebbied char
acter In the heat, so that when the
glass is in place the lights are delight
fully soft and mellow.
In making large window in many
shades each panel Is separately mould
ed and bent and the sections are as
sembled In a metal frame.

Further On lie 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
it. 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-bulding
In the trial sheer was uttered because Mr..
Post announced that he had made years of re-
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 IA is they know nothing about.
Mind does not work well on a brain that is
broken down by lack of nourishment.
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
stomach and pancreas.
Therefore, the mental state Of the individual

The LEAGUE of PoIiteness,

The League of Politeness has been
formed in Berlin It aims al fnculcat-
ing better manners among the people
of Berlin. It was founded upon the
initiative OF Fraulein Cecelie Meyer,
who was inspired by an existing Or
ganization in Rome. In Difference to
the parent organization the Berlin
league has chosen the italian motto,
PRO gentiIezza." This will be en-
blazoned upon an attractive little
medal worn where Germans are &C
customed to wear the insignia of or
ders. The idea is that a GLANCE at
the '|talisman" will annihilate any in
clination to indulge in bad temper or
discourteous language. ANY polite
person" is eligible for membership.

Moslem Traditions.

Ramadan is the month exalted by
Moslems above all others. In that
month the Notwithstanding 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

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

A weekly" printed some criticisms Of the
claims made for foods. It 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
Uttered widely.
The following facts, however, we're quite
clearly established:
Analysis Of brain by unquestiOnabe au-
thority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
plate 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 1914 per
cent from a total Of 10107.
Considerable more than onehalf Of Phos-
plate of Potash
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus, (Which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash), is considerable more than
onehaf of all tie mineral salts in the food.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey authority on the con-
stituent elements Of the body says: "The
gray matter Of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate
phosphate of Potash This salt unites with
albumen and by the addition of oxygen creates
fluid the gray matter of the brain.
OF course, there is a trace Of other salts and
other organic matter in nerve fluid but Potas
SUM Phosphate is the chief factor and has
the power within itself to attract, by its own
