Had Money in Jumps.

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 b~as-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 Mr.. Rosenberg to step
aside.
You seem like a healthy man."
said the doctor, but l cannot pass you
until I know the origin of those Jumps
IN your body" "Ah, It is not a sick
ness" laughed the mar from Bavaria.
Those swellings Is money"
Taking eff his coat he broke open 2
sample lump and showed that it con
tanned $500 in American bank notes.
He informed the doctor hat he had
$1,000 In all, with which he was go
ing to purchase an apple orchard in
Oregon.
He was admitted to the country

Mo5lem fractions.

Ramadan is the month EXALTED by
Moslems above all others. In that
month the Mountaineering 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

The LEAGUE of PoIiteness.

The League OF Politeness has been
formed in Berlin. 1t aims at inculcat-
ing better among the people
of Berlin. 1t was founded upon the
initiative OF Fraulein Cecelie Meyer,
who was inspired by ar existing or
ga~nization in Rome. Ia Difference to
the parent organization the Berlin
league has chosen the italian motto,
PRO gentilezza." This will be en-
blazoned upon an attractive little
medal worn where Germans are ac-
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.

VIA 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-
thofity, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts.
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
plate of Potash. POI per cent of the total,
$50 of all Mineral Salts.
This is over one-half.
Deaunis, another authority, shows "Phos-
phoric Acid combined" and Potash 1914 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: "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
nerve fluid or the gray. matter of the brain.
or course, there is a trace of other salts and
other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potas-
SUM Phosphate is the chief factoi,, and has
the power within itself to attract. by its own

Home Thought.

1T must have been frightful." said
Mrs. Bos5im 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.. Rossim.
How noble!"
Yes. First thing ! knew, a vase on
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 =
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

law OF affinity, all things needed to manufac-
ture the elixir Of life."
Further on be says: The beginning and end
Of the matter is to supply the lacking princi-
pie, and in molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes il in vegetables, fruits and grain.
To supply deficiencies-this is the only law Of
cure"
The natural conclusion Is that II Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain flag because It's daily loss is
not supplied. v
On the contrary, II 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 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 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 well on a brain that Is
broken down by lack of nourishment.
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
stomach and pancreas.
Therefore, the mental state OF the individual
has much TO do (more than suspected) with
digestion.

Half an hour after the blaze was dis

was a furnace. Unable TO fight the
flames from the roof of the doomed
structure, the firemen climbed to the
roofs of three small dwellings adjoin-

It was here that the sickening acct

three small structures at every al
tage point were nearly two score of
men, while clinging to their icy ladder
which was leaning against the south
wall of the leather factory were Pat
rick Carroll, George Machinsky and
John Carroll, all of Engine Company
