MosIem 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
Herald,

Had Money In Lumps.

Charles II. Rosenberg Of Bavaria

and hips when he arrived here from
Hamburg on the Kaiserin Auguste Vic

smaller Jumps along his spine, much
like a mountain range, as II is present

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

New Process Of Staining Glass.

The art of coloring glass has been
lost and refoundy jealously guarded
and maliciously stolen so many times
in the history of civilization that II
seems almost impossible to say any.
thing new on glass staining. Yet
process has been discovered for ma
king the stained glass used in windows
which is departure from anything
known at the present time. What the
Venetians and the Phoenicians knew
of 1t we cannot tell.
The glass first receives its 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 attractive
feature of this method is that the sur.
face acquires a peculiar pebbled char.
acter In the heat, so that when the
glass is in place the lights are delight,
fully soft and mellow.

shades each panel is separately mould
ed and bent and the sections are as

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

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), 2.91 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 7s.44 per
cent from o total of 101.07.
Considerable more than onehalf Of Phos-
phate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus. (Which Join and make Phos-
phate Of Potash), Is considerable more than
one-haK Of all the mineral salts In the food.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey an authority on the con-
stituept elements OF the I ,dy says: "The
gray matter Of the brain Ia controlled entirely
by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate
phosphate of Potash) This salt unites with
slbumen and by the addition of oxygen creates
nerve fuid or the gray matter Of the brain.
OF course, there IL q trace OF other salts and

The League of Politeness has been

CONCERNING USE OF PLUMEs
Newest Trimming In Millinery Shows
y Styles Such az Our Mothers
Never Dreamed OF.

The newest trimming in millinery
emphasizes the use of plumes. Such
plumes! The word conjures UP an In
finite variety of styles of which ouI
mothers or grandmothers knew moth
Ing, and fair women of today can be
doubly grateful for the efforts of mill
ners.
Garlands Of plumes are used or
broad, low hats. They are spotted anc
fiecked with color, and some are made
OF layers Of different shades, giving G
wonderfully irridescent effect.
On velvet turbans the use of a sin
gle plume attached at the front, ant
extending toward the back in slant
ing line, is quite evident. This line fol
the plume is used on large hats as
well. And speaking of the wide, fiat
shapes leads us to the introduction o
ostrich feathsrs to edge the brim. Two
successful Paris milliners have done
this with great effect.
Feather rosettes are made of Ostrich
plumes. Concentric circles of cu
feathers are placed around jewelee
center. At the side of turban or or
the upturned brim of large velve
hat this new type Of ornament is ex
tremely chic.
A feather band is being used or
many large hats. Black and white
plumes are favored for these orna
ments. They are detachable, hookins
at one side. This idea is attractive
for a change Of trimming means
change of hat.

and fancy feathers, wings and ribbons
are all available. The soft caps are
more simply trimmed
Soft caps Of fur or fur fabrics are
easily made at home. The crown Is in
four sections, like boys jockey cap
and the brim slightly curved collar.
which is wide enough to turn up about
the crown. This is lined with silk OF
satin. A fine wire may be introduced
in the outside brim edge to advantage
1t should be put in between the fabric
and the lining, and will serve to keep
the hat shapely.
Such hats of plush or fur are very
comfortable--a real protection to the
head, and the becomingness is a new
discovery. 1t is all in adjusting the
right shape to the head in the right
way.
