bored air, as he perched on the first
stool In the lunchroom.

she placed a glass Of water before
him.

man in an e~xasperated tone.

Home Thouqht.

1T must have been frightful," said
Mrs. Bossim to her husband, who was
In the earthquake. "Tell me what
was your first thought when you
awakened in your room at the hotel
and heard the alarm"
my first thought was of you," an
swered Mr.. Bossim.
"How nobel"
Yes. First thing I knew, a vase off
the mantel caught me on the ear:
then a chair whirled in my direction,
and when I jumped to the middle of
the room four or five books and a
framed picture struck me all at once"
Even after saying that, he affected
to wonder what made her SO angry for
the remainder of the evening.-Mack's

Add to Cost Of Living.

The American Magazine reprints a
letter which was sent to the Massa-
chusetts cost Of living commission. It
goes as follows:
1T seems to me that the elimination
of waste is nearly impossible in house
holds where there are numerous serv-
ants; at least, l have found 1t SO,
with only one, and the waste rises in
geometrical progression with the num-
Der employed. / have now been doing
my own cooking for nearly a year and
l feed my family twice as we'll on
about two-thirds the cost. A large
part of the saving comes in the eco
nomical use of meat. / make a de-
licious dinner with a few scraps of
meat that a cook would give to the
dog.
Then 1 depend a good deal on
soups, which / invent to suit my
larder. A few cold baked beans, with
a little tomato and a bit of meat on a
bone, or a little left over gravy, make
q oOuP CldL Gal cav WILL LuuCu plCd6u Ut
and it is so nourishing that 1t goes far
to make the dinner. Most people do
not understand how different a soup
is when it has simmered a good many
hours. The soup that has been boiled
fast a couple of hours will taste fiat
and u~ninteresting, whereas the same
soup five hours later will have such
a delicious blend of fiavors that all
you know Is that 1t Is nice without
being able to distinguish the ingre-
dents. Again it is time that counts.
Cooks waste the coffee and tea hor-
ribly. Mix the coffee with cold water
the night before with an eggshell
and bring it to a boil in the morning
and you do not need a great deal for
a good cup of coffee. The tea in the
kitchen is piled into the teapot and
thrown out with but little of the good
ness extracted. Another frightful
waste Is the coal. | use less than
half as much as any girl / ever had
and my stove bakes better. l never
complain of the draught, as she does
or did after burning all the goodness
out of her coal in the first hour after
lighting"

Had Money In Lumps.

Charles H. Rosenberg of Bavaria
had Jumps on his shoulders, elbows,
and hips when he arrived here from
Hamburg on the Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria. In fact, there was a series of
smaller Jumps along his spine, much
like a mountain range, as it is present
ed on a bas-relief map.
The Jumps were about the size of
good Oregon apples, and as Rosen-
berg passed before the immigration
doctor for observation, the doctor said
softly to himself, See that lump"
Then he asked MI. Rosenberg to step
aside.

Taking off his coat he broke open q
sample lump and showed that 1t CON

Lo. the RIch Indian.

The per capita wealth Of the Indian
ID approximately $3.50, that for other
Americans is only a little more than
$500. 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 a revenue of more than
$272, 900 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

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-
pbate of Potash, 2.91 per cent of the total,
5.33 Of all Mineral Salts.
This is over one-half.
Beaunis, another authority, shows yPhos-
phoric Acid combined" and Potash 1914 per
cent from a total Of 101.07.
Considerable more than onehalf Of Phos-
phate Of Potash.
Analysis Of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus, (which Join and make Phos-
phate 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: The
gray matter OF the brain Ia controlled entirely
by the inorganic c~elLsalt, Potassium Phosphate
phosphate OF Potash). This salt unites with
albumen and by the addition Of oxygen creates
nerve huid or the gray matter Of the brain.
OF course, there IL a trace Of other salts and
other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potas-

the power within itself to attract BY ito own

law Of affinity, all things needed to manufac-
ture the elixir Of life"
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 X Phosphate
Of Potash Ia the needed mineral element In
brain and you use food which does not contain
1t, you have brain flag because It's daily loss Ii
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 q sneer was uttered because Mr..
Post announced that he had made years OF re-
search in this country and some clinics OF
Europe, regarding the eject Of the mind on
digestion Of food.
But We must DO patient with those who
sneer at facts they know nothing about.
Mind does not work well on q brain that IL

Worry, anxiety, fear, hate, 60, 70, directly

digestive Juice OF the mouth, and also inter
fere with the now OF the digestive juices Of
stomach and pancrens.
Therefore, the mental state OF tho individual
has much TO do (more than suspected) with
digestion.

Washington, D. C.-Troops of the
United States army are in readiness

peace and protect American and other
foreign interests. Officials of the war
department look for a crisis in the af-

Within the last six months reports

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 Il
seems almost impossible to say any
thing new on glass staining. Yet q
process has been discovered for ma
king the stained glass used in windows
which is a departure from anything
known at the present time. What the
Venetians and the Phoenicians knew
Of 1t we cannot tell.
The glass first receives It's design in
mineral colors and the whole Is then
fired In a heat SO intense that the col.
oring matter and the glass are indis-
solubly fused. The most attractive
feature Of this method is that the sur
face acquires a peculiar pebbled char
acter in the heat, SO that when the
glass is In place the lights are delight
fully soft and mellow.
In making a large window in many
shades each panel is separately mould
ed and bent and the sections are as.
sembled In a metal frame.
