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 a time
too homesick to make friends His
first letter was little more than
wall
I'm way behind the other boys in
everything" he wrote, dolefully.
"'Tisn't only studies, but it's gymna-
sium and banjos and everything.
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."-

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 hay.
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 it 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.

phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73M per
cent from total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-haf 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 cell-salt, Potassium Phoa-
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 nerYe fluid,
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 defciences-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.

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 shell
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

Is it possible to nourish, strengthen and he
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 rebu1lds eacn
day.
If he builds little less than he destroys,
brain fag and nervous prostration result sure:
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 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 tooo;
therefore to make healthy bone structure we
must have food containing these things. we
would hardly feed only sugar and 1at 10 mahe

Likewise if we would feed in skllltul man

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartcs. 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 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really 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. II

purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
inyioorate instead of weaken: thew en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.

dope; they are soothing, healing and
