ExaqaeratIon.

On her arrival in New York Nine.
Sara Bernhardt, replying to a compli-
ment on her youthful appearance,
said: "The secret of my youth? 1t
Is the good God-and then, you know,
1 work all the time. But l am a
great-grandmother," she continued,
thoughtfully, so how can these many
compliments be true? l am afraid my
friends are exaggerating."
Nine. Bernhardt's laugh, spontane-
GUS as girls, prompted a chorus of
mo, mol"
"Yes," said the actress, "uncon-
scious exaggeration, like the French
nurse on the boulevard. Our boule-
wards are much more crowded than
your streets, you know, and, although
we have numerous accidents, things
aren't quite as bad as the nurse sug-
gested.
Her little charge, boy of six,
begged her to stop while in a crowd,
surrounding an automobile accident.
Please wait the little boy said, Want
to see the man who was run over.
No; hurry his nurse answered

Further on he says: 1.-THE beginning and end
Of the matter is to supply the lacking princi-
pie, and in molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes 1t in vegetables, fruits and grain.
To supply defciencies-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
1t, you have brain flag because It's daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary, II you eat food known to
be rich Ia this element you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building
In the trial 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
sneer 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

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.

Lo, 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 a revenue of more than
$272,000 to the various tribes besides
providing feed for more than 10000
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.

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, think the
conversational soprano, heard under
these circumstances, would not be

would put in requisition were he get

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 blissful har-

should tell lies? If my friends love
me, it is because l try to tell the
truth. l never heard but two voices
in my life that frightened me by their
sweetness.-Holmes.

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), 291 per cent Of the total,
b.33 of all Mineral Salts.
This is over onehalf
Beaunis another authority, shows "Phos-
phoric Acid combined" aud Potash 7344 per
cent from a total Of 101.07.
Considerable more than onehalf of Phos-
plate of Potash.
Analysis Of GrapeNuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus, (Which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash) is considerable more than
onehalf 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 cellsalt, Potassium Phosphate

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

The Leauue of PoIlteness.

The League Of Politeness has been
formed in Berlin. 1t aims at inculcat-
ing better manners among the people
of Berlin. 1t 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 gentilezza." This will be en-
blazoned upon an attractive little
medal worn where Germans are ac-
customed to wear the insignia Of or

the "talisman" will annihilate any in
clination to indulge in bad temper or
discourteous language. ANY polite
