IMPORTANCE OF BATH SPRAY
Toilet Essential That May Only Be
Described as Absolutely
Indispensable.

A strong spray that can be attached
to the faucet of the bath tub is indis-
pensable. 1t is essential in shampoo
ing, as it gets out the soap quickly
and with little effort. The force of a
spray is a splendid tonic after sham
poo. and gets the scalp in a glow that
prevents cold.
When one comes in tired, the hag-
gard lines can be speedily rested and
the tensions loosened by spraying the
face and throat vigorously for five
minutes. This can be done without
disrobing, If rubber sheet is slipped
over the head. Use first warm water.
then cold, alternately. until the skin
is In glow.
The benefit of this treatment is in
creased if cleansing cream or skin
food is first rubbed in five minutes be-
fore the hot spray is applied.
A nerve specialist advises the use
of bath spray daily to play upon the
length of the spine. The force is di-
rected up and down the spine rather
briskly for about five minutes, and is
made especially strong at the waist
line. to relieve the pressure of corsets
and start the blood to circulating.
Use warm water first, gradually ma
king 1t colder. This prevents shock
and sooths the nervous system.

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone

An interesting story is told regard

strument at one end could be heard at
the other end. After some search the
next morning the Eskimo was found
to be engaged In telephone construc-
tion work Of his own. He stuck some
sticks in the ground and hung his
wire on them. He held one end of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
it at the top Of his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed

phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.H per

Considerable more than onehalf Of Phos-

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

creates nerve fluid or the gray matter Of the

The natural conclusion is that II Phosphate

Can't Get Away From 1t

Is 1t 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 It all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say a month OF
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
If he builds little less than he destroys
brain fag and nervous prostraton result sure
If he builds back 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 1t 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 good variety but not in suitable
proportion in all.
To illustrate: we know bones 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 growing child.
Likewise If we would feed in skllful 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.
