What About Brain Food?

Of the matter is to supply the lacking princi-
pie and in molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain.
To supply defciencies--this Is the only law OF
cure"
The natural conclusion Is that Ii Phosphate

brain and you use food which does not contain
1t. you have brain flag because It's daily loss IS
not supplied
oG the contrary, il you eat food known to
be rich In this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-bullding.
In the trial a sheer was uttered because Mr.
Post announced that he had made years of re-
search in this country and some clinics Of
Europe regarding the effect Of the mind on
digestion Of food.
But we must be patient with those who
sheer at facts they know nothing about.
Mind does not work well on a brain that Is
broken down by lack of nourishmens
"A peaceful and evenly poised mind Is neces-
sary to good digestion
Worry, anxiety, fear, hate, &C., &c, directly
interfere with or stop the low OF Ptyalin, the
digestive Juice Of the mouth and also inter-
fere with the flow of the digestive juices Of
stomach and pancreas.
Therefore, the mental state Of the individual
has much to do (more than suspected) with
digestion.

New Process Of Staining Glass.

The art of coIoring glass has been
lost and rebound, jealousy guarded
and maliciously stolen 50 many taraes
in the history Of civilization that u
seems almost impossible to say any

process has been discovered for ma

which is departure from anything
known at the present time. What the
venetians and the Phoenicians knew
of 1t we cannot tell.
The glass first receives Its design In
mineral colors and the whole is then
fired in heat so intense that the col
oring matter and the glass are indis-
solubly fused. The most attractive
feature of this method Is that the sur

A weekly" printed some criticisms Of the
claims made for cur foods. It evidently did
not fancy our reply printed in various news
papers, and brought suit for libel. AT the trial
some interesting facts came out.
Some of the chemical and medical experts
differed widely
The following facts, however, were quite
clearly established:

thority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-

by the inorganic ceIlsalt, Potassium Phosphate

albumen and by the addition OF oxygen creates

TOO MUCH THROWING is BAD
John Killing, Premier Catcher for CHI
cage Cubs, Tells How to Win
Let umpires Alone.
BY JOHN Killing.

Copyright, 1910. by Joseph B. BoWles.)
When / was pitcher in semI-proIes-
SIGNAL teams around Kansas City
lost many games by trying to do TOO
much, by throwing too often, and by
wearing myself out by wasted Efforts.
I was a failure as a ball player ID
several towns before experience taught
me that one play at the right instant
is worth ten at any other time. 1t
was the old stitch in time saves nine
idea, but it did more for me than any
thing else to win games and to BRING
me up in the profession.
When / began catching, one OF the
first things learned was that the
catcher can break UP team quicker
than any one else can. He need not
even make an error to do it. one or
the easiest ways to lose game IS Tor
the catcher to throw too much he
may throw perfectly, and yet by keep
ing the infield moving and out OF po-
sition, expecting his throws and study
ing him instead aof watching the Dat.
ter, he may cause the game to be lost.
MY idea has been to make plays When
they count and not to use too many
signals. The infielders have lot TO
watch, and IL the catcher keeps them
watching him all the time he takes
their minds off their other duties and
causes them to make plumbers Farsi
and foremost in Importance in winning
is that the catcher never shall make
or attempt to make any play, espec1ai
" a throw, unless absolutely certain
that the other men in the play have
caught the signal, understand what Is
to be attempted, and are prepared te
make the play with him.
There comes a time in almost every
ball game when the opposing team
has a good chance to win by scoring
lot of runs in q bunch. The inning
In which that happens Is the one II
which the catcher ought to pull on
his play. In such situation, when
team is having a batting rally, 1t II
