Lo, the Rich indian.

The per capita wealth of the Indian
is approximately s2,13o. 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 ali 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,
600 sheep and cattle. owned by lessees,
bringing In a revenue OF more than
$272Ooo to the various tribes besides
providing feed for more than 1900. 900

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 1t in vegetables fruits and grain
To supply defcienoies-this is tho only law of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that II Phosphate
OF Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
It. you have brain fag because It's daily loss is
not supplied
On the contrary, II 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 a brain that Ia

Therefore, the mental state of the individual
has much to do (more than suspected) with

Mosrm Traditions.

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

Our volcea.

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

Weekly" printed some criticisms of the
claims made for our foods. 1t evidently did
not fancy our reply printed In various news
papera. 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 unquestonable au-
thorfty. Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts
Phosphorfc Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
phate of Potash), 2.91 per cent Of the total.
b.33 of all Mineral Salts.
This is over one-half.
Beaunis. another authority, shows "Phos-
phorio Acid combined" and Potash 73A4 per
cent from total Of 10L0T.
Considerable more than one-half 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-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 oell-salt, Potassium Phosphate

New Process OF Staining Glass.


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 stained glass used in windows
which Is departure from anything
known at the present time What the
Venetians and the Phoeniclans knew
of 1t 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 attractive
feature Of this method is that the sur
face acquires peculiar pebblcd char
ncter in the heat. so that when the
glass is in place the lights are delight
fully soft and mellow.
In making a large window I'm many
shades each panel Is separately mould
ed and bent and the sections are as

Such hats of plush or fur are very

CONCERNING USE OF PLUMES
Newest Trimming In Millinery Shows
Styles Such as 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 our
mothers or grandmothers knew moth
Ing, and fair women OF today can be
doubly grateful for the efforts of MILL
ners.
Garlands of plumes arc used on
broad, low hats. They are spotted and
fiecked with color. and some are made
OF layers of different shades, giving a
wonderfully frridescent effect.
On velvet turbans the use of a sin
gle plume attached at the front, and
extending toward the back in a slant
ing line. is quite evident. This line for
the plume is used on large hats as
well. And speaking of the wide, fiat
shapes leads us to the Introduction of
ostrich feathers to edge the brim. Two
successful Paris milliners have done
this with great effect
Feather rosettes are made of ostrich
plumes. Concentric circles of cut
feathers are placed around a jeweled
center. At the side of a turban or on
the upturned brim of large velvet
hat this new type of ornament is ex-
tremely chic.
A feather band is being used on
many large hats. Black and white
plunes are favored for these orna-
ments. They are detachable, hooking
at one side. This idea is attractive.

change OF hat
