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 telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession of a piece of wire
Of considerable length and never hav-
ing seen wire before he asked Profes-
sor Mcmillan Of the Peary north pole
expedition what 1t was and what 1t
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
1t 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.

Socially Launched.

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
wall.
I'm way behind the other boys in
everything" he wrote, dolefully.
"'Tisn't only studies, but it's gymna-
SUM and banjos and everything. 1
don't believe they'll ever have much
use for me-"
But the second letter, written after
a week in the new school, was quite
different in tone.
I'm all right" he wrote to his
mother. THE boys say they'll teach
me all they know, for they're proud
to have me here. l can stretch my
mouth half an inch wider than any
other boy in school, and my feet are
the longest by a full inch. So you
needn't worry about me any more.'-

phoric Acid combined" and Potash 7344 per
cent from total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-haH 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, authority the
constituent elements of the body, says: THE
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cell-sat, 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
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
nishes it in vegetables. fruits and grain. To
supply deficiencies-this is the only law of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that IL Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain fag because Its 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.

broken down by lack of nourishment.

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 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 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 a growing child.
Likewise If we would feed in skillful man
ner to insure getting what the brain requires
for strength and rebuilding. must first know
what the brain is composed Of and then select
some article articles (there are more than
one) that contain these elements.

Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-

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 dc
not grippe. they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in 4 way that soon putl
these organs in . healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There arc 20 feet Of human
bowels, which il really . sewer pipe
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus

blood, which often produce Rheumatism
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have h clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
had my way would prohibit the sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that ars
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
ipyioorafe instead of xyeaken. thew en-.
rich the blood instead Of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put

These pills contain no calomel. no

stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
