New Process Of Staining Glass.

The art Of coloring glass has been
lost and rebound, jealousy 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 stained glass used in windows
which is a 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.
In making a large window in many
shades each panel is separately mould
ed and bent and the sections are as
sembled In metal frame.

CookIng II Casserole.


Casserole cookery has gradually
worked itself into great popularity un-
til now in almost every home some
form of casserole is used. Since the
study Of foods and feeding has become
more common the housewife begins
to realize the value Of slow cooking
OF foods, hence the popular use of the
tireless cooker and the casserole.
Anything that requires slow cooking
without browning, may be cooked in
this stone-covered dish. If the brown
ing is desired, it may be done before
the food is put into the casserole.
Long, slow cooking of meats after
the outside has been scared to retain
the juices, is conducive to retaining
the best and most nutritious elements
Of the food and also it makes the
flavor of meats far superior to other
methods of cooking.
Chicken in Casserole. Separate the
chicken as for frying, wipe perfectly
dry and brown In little fat. When
the pieces are all nicely Drowned,
place them in the casserole with a
pint of chicken broth made by stew
ing the wing tips and the feet Put
on the cover and cook in a moderate
oven for an hour and half. Melt
three tablespoonful of butter in
pan, add dozen potato balls, dozen
carrot balls and few small onions;
as soon as brown add to the casserole
with more water if necessary, and
cook until the vegetables are tender.
Do not remove the cover after putting
in the vegetables. Serve from the
casserole. Beefsteak, mutton and any
meat may be cooked in this manner.
The coarse and tough cuts Of meat
are made tender and savory by this
process Of cooking.
Rice and Meat in Casseroie.-

casserole with cupful of cold cooked
rice. Season any chopped meat with
onion juice, celery salt, herbs and salt,

the dish with the chopped meat. Gov

What About Brain Food?
This Question Cshhne 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,
633 of all Mineral Salts.
This is over one-half
Beaunis, another authority, shows "Phos-
phoric Acid combined" and Potash 7S44 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-
plate of Potash), is considerable more than
one-hah Of all the mineral salts in the food.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey, an authority on the con-
stituent elements of the body, says: 1.-THE
gray matter Of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cellsalt, 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 a trace Of other salts and
other organic matter In nerve fluid, but PotaG

ously.

Further on he lays: 'The beginning and end
OF the matter Isl to supply the lacking princi-
pie, and In molecular FORM exactly as nature
furnishes 1t In vegetables, fruits and grain
To supply deiciencies-this is the only law of
cure"
The natural conclusion Is that Il Phosnhata
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
brain-building.
In the trial a 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
sheer at facts they know nothing about
Mind does not work well on 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 dow of the digestive juices of
stomach and pancreas.
Therefore, the mental state Of the individual
has much to do (more than suspected) with
digestion.

WdrShipS tG Rescue.

Rome, Oct. 25.--At least ten persons
were killed by being buried in mud
and lava streams that were thrown
from Mount Vesuvius, whose activity
was occasioned by terrific cloud
burst
The news from Naples as yet is
very meager owing to the confusion
and terror there.
While many tourists - American.
French, German and English - are
known to be in the vicinity of the
death dealing volcano, it is not def
nitely known whether any of them
lost their lives. The ten victims are
stated by guides to have been Italian
peasants engaged in agricultural and
other work on the slopes of the crater.
The government has sent several
warships to the shores bordering the
slopes of the volcano below Pugliano
and Herculaneum in the hope of af-
fording means of rescue to others who
may be endangered.
The railway leading up the south
Casterly side of the crater has been
useful in conveying fugitives to places
of safety.
The observatory, three-quarters of
the way up the slope of the volcano. is
reported to have escaped serious dam
age.
Confused and incomplete reports
have reached the home office Of a
great disaster at Ischia, the capital of
the island of Ischa, sixteen miles
southwest of Naples in the Mediter-
ranean. 1t is feared that the town
has been submerged by a tidal wave.
Torpedo boats We're promptly sent
from Naples to Ischia to ascertain the
situation and render assistance. Tee-
graph and cable connection between
Ischia and Naples is broken.
A telegram received at Naples from
Procida, an island northeast of lschia,
reports that the town of Cassamic-
ciola a town in the latter island, was
destroyed by a deluge, which washed
away the wooden underpinning of the
wooden houses which had been built
for the purpose of resisting earth
quakes.
The home Office has received news
of the disaster from Naples. The pre-
feet of that city wires that he has
heard from the captain of a steamship
| that a terrific storm struck the island
Of Ischia. One story says it caused
great damage to property, but that
| there were no fatalities. Another re-
port says that ut least 200 persons
were drowned. The prefect has dis
patched troops to Ischia to undertake

New Jersey Labor Federation Also
Against Contract Convict Labor.
Newark, n. j., Oct. 25.-The exec
utive board of the New Jersey State
Federation of Labor has begun a cam
paign against the bread trust for its
alleged failure to use the union label
on its products.
The board has also decided to strive
for the abolition of the contract labor
system in the state prison and for the
improvement of sanitary conditions in
the prison. 1t will also seek to end the
issuing of certificates by justices Of
the peace to children of school age, al
lowing them to work in shops and fac
tories instead of attending school.
The labor men say that the law re-
lating to the prison contract system is
not being observed, as only the pack
ages in which articles are packed is
stamped, whereas it was intended that
each article should be marked. so that
the purchaser could know what he was
buying.
The bread trust, it is alleged, refuses
to use the union label to show that
the bread is made in union shops,
where. it is claimed, all sanitary laws
are scrupulously observed.

city, charging him with criminal libel.
The warrant was not served. Fran

sent a letter to Van Valkenburg in
forming him of the action the guber-

a hearing any day this week. Tener's
counsel in their reply stated that as
Mr. Tener was on speaking tour it
was impossible for him to appear at a
hearing today, and therefore the case
would be heard Friday.
