Our Voices.

/ think our conversational soprano,
as sometimes overheard in the cars,
arising from a group of young persons
who have taken the train at one of
our great industrial centers, for In
stance, young persons of the female
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, I think the
conversational soprano, heard under
these circumstances, would not be
among the allurements the old enemy
would put in requisition were he get
ting UP a new temptation Of St. An
thony.
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-
monies we hope to enjoy. But why
should I tell lies? If my friends love
me, it is because I try to tell the
truth. / never heard but two voices

Fidelity m paroIa

Judge Grain of the Court of Gen.
eral Sessions has just held a recep
ton more worthy of note than any
ball, banquet or other high function
of the season. 1t was held in his
courtroom at night. In response tO
its summons came lit men and WON.
en-, some old, some young every one
of whom was victor over some form
of temptation; an example of what
human faith can do to help human
weakness to redeem itself and be
strong.
Each of the company had been con.
victed of some first offense against
the law, and each had been permitted
to go out on parole Of future good
behavior. Each had kept the faith.
The word was as good as a bond.
Those who might have gone down in
the struggle had found a way to rise
and fight again. They were all able
to report good work done and bright
prospects ahead.
Time was when no one was trusted
on his word save men of high degree.
Fidelity to parole was deemed a
princely virtue. Perhaps it is. There
was nothing in Judge Grains recep
tion to disprove it.

Had Money in Lumps.

Charles H. Rosenberg of Bavaria
had Jumps on his shoulders, elbows,
and nips 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 mountain range, as it is present
ed on 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 Mr.. Rosenberg to step
aside.
''You seem like a healthy man.
said the doctor, "but cannot pass you
until know the origin of those Jumps
on your body" "Ah, it is not sick
ness" laughed the man from Bavaria.
Those swellings is money"
Taking off his coat he broke open a
sample lump and showed that it con-
tanned $500 in American bank notes.
Fe informed the doctor that 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

What About Brain Food?
This Question Game Up i'm the Recent
Trial for Libel.

"Weekly" printed some criticisms of the
claims made Tor 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
thority Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
plate OF Potash, 291 per cent Of the total,
5.33 of all Mineral Salts.
This is over onehalf
Beaunis another authority, shows 3Phos-
phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per
cent from 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-haf of all the mineral salts in the fooe.
DR.. Geo. W. Carey, an authority 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 unites with
albumen and by the addition of oxygen creates
nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain.
Of course, there is trace of other salts and
other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potas-
SUM Phosphate is the chief factor, and has
the power within itself to attract. by its own

young man.

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 princ-
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 if Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain flag 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
rain-building.
In the trial 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 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
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.

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 a 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 I heard say he liked to eat
with the common people once in a
while, the woman you heard say that
she thought 1t 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"

Urge Changes in state Game Laws.

Urge Changes in State Game Laws.
Madison.-The Wisconsin Hunters
and Fishers association will send a
committee before the next legislature
to advocate changes in the game and
fish laws.
Secretary E. B. Rebholz, 495 Jeffer-
son street, has prepared list of these
changes and the reasons why the more
important of them are advocated. Mr..
Rebholz said:
Two great objects are in view.
First, we wish to give Wisconsin hunt
ers the most sport that is consistent
with the proper protection of our
game. Secondly, we want to see game
laws in Wisconsin that are made by
and for the many and not for the few
alone. And incidentally, especially in
the matter Of deer hunting, we believe
that something must be done to put a.
stop to the annual slaughter of human
beings" The association considers
suggestions from huSters.
I'VE are contemplating" he said.
asking for the following changes:
1.-THE nonresident fishing license
should be increased to at least S. AS
it is today, there are more game fish
caught by nonresident fishermen
than by Wisconsinites. The license
would pay the bounty advocated on
rough fish, and would pay, too, for re-
stocking our lakes with game fish.
Fishing parties in the north, it should
be remembered, live almost entirely
on game and on fish from our north
ern lakes.
"The pike, pickerel and bass season
should open at the same time, May Is,
and run until March 1. Under the
present law, If bass are caught be-
tween May Is and June they cannot
be taken home, but must be thrown
back into the water. Yet bass will
bite during that period, and If the
hook Injuries their gills they are GER
tain to die"

Add 70 Cost of Livinc.


The American Magazine reprints a
chusetts cost of living commission. 1t
goes as follows:
"It seems to me that the elimination
pf waste is nearly impossible in house
holds where there are numerous serv-
ants; at least, | hare found it 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 year and
/ feed my family twice as well on
about two-thirds the cost A large
part of the saving comes in the eco
nomical use of meat l make a de-
licious dinner with a few scraps of
meat that cook would give to the
dog.
''Then / depend a good deal on
soups, which I invent to suit my
Iarder. A few cold baked beans, with
a little tomato and bit of meat on a
bone, or little left over gravy, make
a soup that all eat with much pleasure
and it is SO nourishing that it 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 uninteresting, whereas the same
soup five hours later will have such
a delicious blend of f1avors that all
you know is that it 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 eggshelI
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. l use less than
half as much as any girl I ever had
and my stove bakes better. I never
complain of the draught, as she does
or did after burning all the goodness
out CT her coal in the first hour after

The per capita wealth of the Indian
is approximately $3.50, that for other
Americans is only a 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,
