phortc Acid combined" and Potash 7344 per
cent from total of 10107.
Considerable more than onehalf 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
constituent elements of the body, says: "The
gray matter Of the brain Is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cellsalt, 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
it's 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
nishSs it In vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply deficiencies is the 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.

Housewives wonder why the under

be no more costly than these destruc-

only arrived few days ago-the night
Of the state ball. She's my guest at

She ran on, about other things, with
only an occasional remark from Mr..
Grimm, who was thoughtfully nursing
his knee Somewhere through the
chatter and effervescent gaiety, min
Cling with the sound Of the pulsing
music, he had singular impression of
rhythmical beat, an indistinct tattoo,
noticeable, perhaps, only because Of
its monotony. After a moment he
shot a quick glance at Miss Thorne
and understood; it was the tapping Of
an exquisitely wrought ivory fan
against one Of her tapering, gloved
fingers. She was talking and smiling.
"Dot-dash-dot! Dot-dash-dot! Dot
dash-dot!" said the fan.
Mr. Grimm twisted around in his
seat and regaled his listless eyes with
long look into the senorita's pretty
face. Behind the careless ease Of re
pose he was mechanically isolating the
faint clatter of the fan.

For an instant Mr. Grimm continued
to stare, and then his listless eyes

Can't Get Away From It

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 month Of
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
If he builds little less than he destroys,
brain fag 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 1t from air, sky or the
ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to
think about 1t, 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 rot 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 skillful man
ner to insure getting what the brain requires
for strength and rebuilding we must first know

CHAPTER III.
The LANGUAGE Of the Fan.

The Language Of the Fan.
Mr.. Grimm was chatting idly with
Senorita Rodriguez, daughter Of the
minister from Venezuela, the while
he permitted his listless eyes to wan
der aimlessly about the spacious ball
room Of the German embassy, ablaZe
with festooned lights, and brilliant
with a mult;-colored chaos Of uni
forms. Cleaning pearlwhite, translu-
cent in the mass, were the bare
shoulders of woman; and from far on
came the plaintive whine Of an or
chestra, pulsing sense rather than
living sound of music, pointed here
and there by the staccato cry Of
flute. A zephyr, perfumed with the
clean, fresh odor of lilacs, stirred the
draperies of the archway which led
into the conservatory and rustled the
bending branches of palms and ferns.
For a scant instant Mr.. Grimm's
eyes rested on young woman who
sat dozen feet away, talking, in play
full animation, with an undersecretary
Of the British embassy-a young wom-
an severely gowned in some glittering
stuff which fell away sheerly from her
splendid bare shoulders. She glanced
up, as II in acknowledgment Of his
look, and her eyes met his. Frank.
blue-gray eyes they were, stirred to
their depths now by amusement. She
smiled at Senorita Rodriguez. in token
of recognition.
Aren't they wonderful?" asked
Senorita Rodriguez with the quick,
bubbllng enthusiasm of her race.
"What?" asked Mr.. Grimm.
"Her eyes," was the reply. Every

Mr.. Grimm masked his emotions. In
HIS admiration of this quality he quite
overlooked the remarkable mask OF
benevolence behind which he himself
hid.

Grimm picked up the Almanac de

"Of course, the first thing to do is to
find him; the rest will be simple
enough" He perused the page care
lessly. Il will begin work at once.

Apropos of a beautiful young wife,
worth $4O,O0O,OOO, who had just d.

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard
ing the efforts of an Eskimo to con-
struct a telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession Of piece of wire,
Of considerable length and never haVN
ing seen wire before he asked Profes-
sor Mcmillan Of the Peary north pole
expedition what it was and what it
was used for. He was told that the white
man strung 1t on poles stuck in the
ground and voice talking to an In
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
his opinion of his white friend.

In his native town Jimmy had al
ways been most popular with young
and old, but when he was sent away
to boarding school, he was for time
too homesick to make friends. His
first letter was little more than a

everything" he wrote, dolefully.
"'Tisn't only studies, but it's gymna-
SUM and banjos and everything, I
don't believe they'll ever have much

But the second letter, written afte1
a week in the new school, was quito
different in tone.

sion that Spain was anything but a
shell; and France! One can't help
but wonder If the power she boasts is
not principally on paper. But If their
forces are combined? Do you see?
It would be an enormous power to
reckon with, with hundred bases Of
supplies right at our doors"
He rose suddenly and walked over
to the window, where he stood for a
moment, staring out with unseeing
eyes.
"Given a yard of canvas, Mr.
Grimm" he went on finally, "a Span
ish boy will waste it, a French boy
will paint picture on 1t, an Eng
lish boy will build sail-boat, and an
American boy will erect a tent That
fully illustrates the differences in the
races"
He abandoned the didactic tone, and
returned to the material matter in
hand. Mr.. Grimm passed him the
despatch and he sat down again.

ington,'" he read musingly. Now l
don't know that the signing of that
compact can be prevented, but the
signing of it on United States soil can
be prevented. You will see to that,
Mr. Grimm"
Very WELL" the young man agreed
carelessly. The magnitude of such
task made, apparently, not the
slightest impression on him. He
languidly drew on his gloves.
And meanwhile l shall take steps
to ascertain the attitude of Russian
and Japanese representatives in this

Mr.. Grimm nodded.
"And now, for Prince Benedetto

slowly. "Oficially he is not in Wash.
ington, nor the United States, for that
matter. Naturally, on such mission,
he would not come as a publicly ac.
| credited agent, therefore, imagine,
he is to be sought under another
name"
"Of course" Mr.. Grimm acquiesced
"And he would avoid the big ho

It is not too much to construe It into
the first step toward a world-war-a
war of reprisal and conquest beside
which the other great wars Of the
world would seem trivial. For the
fact has at last come home to the ma
tions of the world that ultimately the
English-speaking peoples will domi-
nate it-dominate 1t because they are
the practical peoples. They have given
to the world all its great practical in
ventions-the railroads, the steam
ship, electricity, the telegraph and
cable-all of them; they are the great
civilizing forces, rounding the world
up to new moral understanding, for
what England has done in Africa and
India we have done in a smaller way
In the Philippines and Cuba and Por-
to Rico; they are the great CONNER
cial peoples, slowly but surely winning
the market-places of the earth; wher-
ever the English or the American flag
is planted there the English tongue
Is being spoken, and there the peoples
are being taught the sanity Of right
living and square dealing.
"It requires no great effort of the
imagination, Mr. Grimm, to foresee
that day when the traditional power
Of Paris, and Berlin, and st. Peters
burg, and Madrid will be honey
combed by the steady encroachment
Of our methods. This alliance would
indicate that already that day has
been foreseen; that there is now a re-
sentiment which is about to find ex-
preston in one great, desperate strug-
gle for world supremacy. A few hun
dred years ago Italy-or Rome-was
stripped of her power; only recently

When we speak facetiously Of some
one for whom we have no reverence

employ phrase that would seem to
be a piece of latter-day slang. but, as
a matter Of fact, It dates back to old
England, when, about the year 1928,
one Bolsover hung himself to a 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,

Oysters grow only during the sum-

warm summers at that, and are scarce
ly big enough for the mouth before
the third year. 1t is easy after look

old an oyster is. A summer hump and
the winter sink come across the she'll
every year, but after the seventh or
tenth year full growth comes; then.
by looking at the sinks between the
humps it is hard to tell anything
more about Miss Oysters age. Oysters
live to be twenty years old.
