Child's Idea of Goodness Set Forth
in Perfect Faith, Without
lrreVerence.

All things are relative, and to the
child, gazing at life and its wonders
with eyes as yet undimmed by So
phistication or sorrow, nothing is i'm
possible, nothing unspeakable, moth
ing too sacred to be discussed or too
difficult to be attempted. Not irrev-
erence nor impertinence, but inno-
cence prompts such speeches as that
recorded Of the child of a popular
journalist by his devoted paternal
grandmother.
"Grandma," said the little boy, de-
lightedly addressing her, do you
know what's going to happen? Papa
says that if we're real, real good, he'll
take US to the circus!"
That's NICE" smiled the young
hearted adult between whom and the
eager youngling no hint of age sepa-
ration mars ectcomradeship. "How
good do we have to be-"
The embryo man, after moment Of
silent consideration: ooh, as good as
God, I guess!"

phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per
cent from total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-half Of Phos-
plate of Potash.
Analysis Of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (Which join and make Phos-
plate of Potash) is considerable more than
onehalf 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
creates nerve fluid or the gray matter OF the
brain. Of course, there is 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
nishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply defciencies-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 fag 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
brain-building.
Mind does not work well on brain that is
broken down by lack Of nourishment.
peaceful and evenly poised mind Is neces-
sary to good digestion.

GREATLY ATTACHED TO IT
Acknowledged the Truth to His
Friends Query.

Apropos of a beautiful young wife
worth $40,000,000, who had just d.
vorced her penniless husband in or.
der to marry again, Henry e. Dixey
the comedian, said at dinner in New
York:
The young man who marries for
money has none too easy time of it.
His rich wife Is likely to tire of him
and throw him out in few years, or
else she Is likely to limit his allow
ance to Is or so cents a day.
"T married money q man once

"'Wasn't there a woman attached
to it?' I asked

ploded. so much attached to 1t that

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 it all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say month Of
brain work? Because the man rebuids each
day.
If he builds a 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
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 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, 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.
Analysis of brain by an unquestionable
authority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
plate Of Potash) 291 per cent Of the total,
533 Of all mineral Salts.
This is over one-half.

BADGER Crops Lock Good.

Crop conditions throughout Wiscon-
sin are about normal, with slightly
better prospects than in 1910, accord
ing TO the spring farm crop report is
sued by the state board of agriculture
through Secretary R. W. Rowlands.
More favorable weather conditions
than existed last year are forecasted
for this spring and a corresponding
good effect is expected on the sum-
mer produce.
Pr poets for fruit never were
brighter than this year. The late
spring. so different from that of last
year, when all the buds were out be-
fore the heavy snowfall and frost late
in April, has proved a boon to the
fruit growers of the state in that the
trees have not blossomed until prac-
ii ,ally every fear of another frost has
passed.

AGE of Oysters.

Oysters grow only during the sum
mer and especially during the long,
warm summers at that, and are scarce
ly big enough for the mouth before
the third year. 1t is easy after look
ing over a bunch of shells to tell how
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 20 years old.

Revise States Plan of Keeping Book

Revise States Plan of Keeping Books.
A summary of the special report of
the state tax commission on the
finances of the state, compiled for the
legislature, was submitted to that
body The gathering and compiling
of the data was done under the direc-
ton of A. E. James, statistician of
the commission
On the average for the seven-year
period (1903-1909) the revenue re-
ceipts totaled 1924 ,606.67 out of a
total for all receipts of 1882 1929,
or 84.1S per cent In 1909 the total
revenue receipts were $S,500,957.97
out Of 9S11,519.19, or 1864 per cent.
During the period Of years covered in
the investigation, receipts as whole
increased from $6,814, 1920 in 1903 to
S9,S11,519.19 in 1909. Revenue re-
ceipts increased during the same
period from $5,441, 683.61 to $780,
95797.
The state accounts are not kept in
a single fund, says the report but diff
ferentiation is sought in the classif1-
cation of payments by subdividing the
accounts into number of funds. So
far as these funds amount to the
segregation of the states obligations
as trustee from it's general disburse-
ments, the practice is not only proper
but is very necessary. SO far as it
amounts, however, to the setting up
of spnarate anDrODriatiOn accounts as
funds it has the effect Of splitting up
the states money and making much
of it unavailable tor the claims for
money coming in, even though appar-
emily there is plenty of money in the
| treasury 1t also has the general eff
feet of creating confusion in the case
of the university and normal schools
between money derived from the trust
