phoric Acid combined" and Potash 1874 per
cent from total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-half of Phos-
phate of Potash.
Analysis of GrapeNuts 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
constituent elements of the body, says: "The
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phos-
phate 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 Potassium Phosphate Is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract, by
its own law Of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir OF life"
Further on he says: "The beginning and end
Of the matter is to supply the lacking principle,
and in molecular form, exactly as nature fur
nishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply deficiencies-this is the only law Of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that If Phosphate
Of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain flag because its 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
5rain-building.
Mind does not work well on a brain that is
broken down by lack of nourishment.
A peaceful and evenly poised mind is neces-
sary to good digestion.

Like a man suffering from a stiff

Is it possible to nourish, strengthen and Re
build the Brain by Food?
Every who thinks uses up part of the
brain each day. Why don't it all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say month Of
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
If he builds little less than he destroys
brain flag and nervous prostration 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 it from air, sky 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
Iy 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 IL 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.

LIFE WAS STRENUOUS
THINGS NOT ALWAYS PLEASANT
IN THE STONE AGE.
Glance Backward at Domestic TribuIa
tons of the Cave DweIIer Should
Make Us Thankful Times
Have Changed.

Away back in the days of the cave
jewellers life must indeed have been
a strenuous proposition.
After you'd chased an antelope 80
miles through the woods and killed it
with stone Ratchet with an edge like
a grindstone you had to carry it home
30 miles and dissect it with a piece of
flint that was as sharp as a Rugby
football.
If company came to dinner you
couldn't boil can of soup in kettle
and serve the delighted guests with
something that made their mouths wa
ter. Not much you couldn't.
Instead you'd follow your cave-dwell-
Ing wife into the back part of the
cave, and she'd say just like your
wife does today:
Fool! Idiot Wretch, The very
idea of your bringing people home
when you knew there wasn't anything
in the house to eat!"
Then you'd go out where the COM
pany was twiddling it's bare legs and
say:
Pm awfully sorry, Oh man, but
there amt anything to eat in the
house Just make yourself at home,
see If l can't kill something" You
couldn't even give him that old song
and dance about the grocer not COM
ing.
You'd have to wander about in the
Jungle, and finally, if luck was with
you, you'd kill something-it didn't
matter what. You'd hurry home, and
your wife and the guest would be on
the friendly footing of the walrus and
an algebraic proposition, and the way
she looked at you would make cold
chills run up and down your spine.
It's different these days, and much
as we lambast the Gamers of lima
beans and tomatoes and ham and
things, we have to admit that it beats
the stone age all hollow.
If you bring friend home unex-
pectedly, of course, your wife will look
at you as though you'd contemplated
skinning the baby or robbing Sun
day school of it's collection, but she'll
be able to dish up something!
If everything else fails she can call
up the drug store and get some ice
cream, and lie to the guest, saying:
"It has been so hot we don't eat sup
per now. We usually have cream.
For times have changed since the
stone age, and many of us, forgetful
of our blessings at other times, must
recognize that we are fortunate peo-
pies, when the times comes for COM

"kickjno the Bucket"

When we speak facetiously Of some
one for whom we have no reverence
as having kicked the bucket" we
employ a phrase that would seem to
be a piece of latter-day slang, but as
matter of fact, it dates back to old
England, when, about the year 1925,
one Bolsover hung himself to beam
while standing on the bottom of a
bucket, and then kicked the bucket
away. Although at first used only in
cases of suicide, it has been applied
in the course of years to any death,
without distinction.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re.
quest. Address Professor Munyon, sgd &
Jefferson Sts, Philadelphia Pa. If you ara
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, Indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
l had my way / would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of Indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating They school the bowels
to act without physic.
