ExaqqGration,

On her arrival in New York Nine.
Sara Bernhardt, replying to a compli-
ment on her youthful appearance,
said: "The secret Of my youth? It
is the good God--and then. you know,
l work all the time. But l am a
great-grandmother," she continued,
thoughtfully, so how can these many
compliments be true? am afraid my
friends are exaggerating.
Nine. Bernhardt's laugh, spontane-
GUS as a 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 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
There will be plenty more to see
further on"

The Leaaue Of Pollteness.


The League Of Politeness has been
formed in Berlin. It 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 viii 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.

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

law of affinity, all things needed to manufao
ture the elixir of life"
Further on he says: 'The beginning and end
Of the matter is to supply the lacking princi
ple 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 its 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 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 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 Ptyain, the
digestive juice of the mouth. and also inter-
feTe 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.

All Need the Earth.

There is an Antaeus in every one
Of US and in the whole of us which
needs the earth" says Henry Dem
Arrest Lloyd in his posthumous book.
"A grandmother was spreading before
the vision of beloved child a picture
of the beauties Of heaven with it's
gates Of pearl and its pavements Of
gold. What said the scornful boy,
unpactivated, no mud?' There spoke
the real philosopher. We are earth
animals. and we need contact with
all the aspects Of nature, human ma
ture, and other nature. They who
feed wholly on white bread and the
tenderloin and the sweetness and
light of the best people, art for the
arts sake, cannot get phosphates
enough and soon develop the ricketts,.
The man heard say he liked to eat
with the common people once in a
while, the woman you heard say that
she thought it was her duty to as.
sociate with the middle class, confess
the approach of extinction. They are
losing touch with the source of all per.
sonal and social power"

New Process of Staining Class.

The art of coloring glass has been
lost and rebound, jealously guarded
and maliciously stolen so many times
in the history of civilization that It
seems almost impossible to say any
thing new on glass staining Yet q
process has been discovered for ma
king the staineu glass used in windows
which is = departure from anything
known at the present time. What the
Venetians and the Phoenicians knew
of it we cannot tell.
The glass first receives It's design in
mineral colors and the whole is then
fired in heat so intense that the COL
oring matter and the glass are indis.
solubly fused. The most att 2ctive
feature Of this method Is that lie sur

acter in the heat, so that when the
glass is in place the lights are delight.

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
dians 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.t The ranges
which they possess support about 500,-
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 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
