Colonel Gray's knowledge in connec-

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-
thofity, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral salts,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined tPhos-
phate Of Potash). POI 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 1o.44 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-
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 is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate
phosphate Of Potash. This salt unlles with
Rlbumen and by the addition of oxygen creates

Mosiem Traditions.

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 q 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 h"ll are
shut, and the devils are chained" So
run the traditions.-The Christian

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 defcieucies-this is the only law of
cure
The natural conclusion Is that il 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.
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
hrain-building.
In the trial a 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
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.
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.
