Is it possible to %nourish, strengthen and Re-
build the Brain by Food?
Every man who thinks uses up part of the
brain each day. Why don't 1t all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say a month Of
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
brain flag and nervous prostration result sure.
If he builds back a little more each day, the
brain grows stronger and more capable. That
also is sure. Where does man get the material
to rebuild his brain? Is it from air, sky or the
ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to
think about it, the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink.
That also is sure.
Are the brain rebuilding materials found in
all food? In a good variety but not in suitable
proportion in all.
To illustrate; we know boxes are made large
ly Of lime and magnesia taken from food;
therefore to make healthy bone structure we
must have food containing these things. We
would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make
healthy bone structure in a growing child.
Likewise if we would feed in a skillful man.
ner to insure getting what the brain requires
for strength and rebuilding, we must first know
what the brain is composed Of and then select
some article or articles (there are more than
one) that contain these elements.

EDUCATORS IN CONVENTION.
Twenty-sixth Annual Meeting of Teach.
ers' Association.

CTS ASSOCldllOu.
Jacksonville twenty-sixth annual
convention Of the Mississippi Teachers
Association wal brought to a close Sat
urday after one of the most brilliant
years, the teachers having thoroughly
and well attended sessions in recent
enjoyed the outing, the gathering to-
gether, the renewal OF further acquaint-
ances, made at conventions or summer
normals or in some instances the same
school or college.
Aside from the routine business Of
the session, the dominant feature Of
the day was the address of Harris Dick
son, of Vicksburg, on the general theme
Of a juvenile reformatory system, and
the kindly care of the Mississippi boys
especially those exhibiting hayward
tendencies. Mr.. Dickson was presented
in a graceful Introductory speech by
President Bell, and in a few supple
mental remarks by Miss Emily Butt,
Of Jackson, and prefaced his general re-
marks by a little story of "The boy who
never owned a dog" 1t was an elo-
quent and manly plea for the safe
guarding of the boy by the agency Of
gentle leading strings, rather than by
coercion and ultimate investing in
striped Osnaburgs.
Discussing the subject Of money as an
essential element in the handling of ed
ucational problems, in his exhaustive ad'
dress on the general subject before the
state teachers convention, Hon. j. S.
Sexton, of Hazlehurst, expressed appre-
citation of the liberal tendency of the
legislature in dealing with educational
problems in the past. On this line he
said:
"The state is spending a large sum OF
money on its common schools and its
higher educational institutions of learn
ing, and while every intelligent and pa
triotic citizen will approve and applaud
such expenditure, it is the right and
duty of every such citizen to insist
that every dollar so appropriated be ex-
pended for the purposes for which it
was appropriated and that it shall pro-
duce the results which should come from
such expenditures.

the cost of our educational system, to

Asperities.
BY limited Press Wire.

London, Jan. 3.-That Count Leo
Tolstoy was driven to flight ending in
death, by incessant quarrels with his
wife, is the assertion made today by
p. A. Boulanger, an intimate friend of
the dead author. who was present at
Tolstoy's death bed.
In a long letter to the time. Boul-
anger describes Tolstoy's efforts to
harmonize his own views on simplicity
of life with the methods of living en-
ployed by the members of his family.
"Tolstoy constantly hoped" declar-
ed Boulanger, that he would be eX-
lied from Russia because of his free
dom of thought In this way he hop
ed to be removed from the influences
of his home life but he was 'unsuccess-
full.
The counts mild reception Of his
wife's insults and her. threats to
shoot herself were surprising. But
he finally realized that the strain was
injuring him and hindering consentra
tion of thought His flight and death
followed"

The situation is causing Ji,dge

Such Is the secret slogan of the

islands, according TO Ignacio Villamor

Ponciano Reyes, prosecuting attorney
of the bureau Of justice at Manila,
who are in Washington to testify in
the congressional inquiry into the sale
of the frlar lands.
"The japanese are confident that
they can take possession of the Philip
pines" said VDamor today 1T re-
Gently read in a Japanese paper the
statement that the nation was in
good condition for war. But 1t gem
orally recognized that the blow must
be struck, If at all. before the COM
pietion of the Panama canal.
Despite statements to the con-
trary by japanese diplomats it is the
sentiment in the Philippines that
Japan wants the islands. The people
are convinced chat Japan's avowed
policy of expansion toward the south
instead of northward, embraces the
Philippines.
"It is easy for the japanese To in
form themselves of the defenses at
Manila. We have good reason to be-
lieve that they are availing them
selves of this opportunity constantly.
Even on Corregidor island, where no
one is allowed to land without per-
