New Process of Staining Glass.


The art of coloring glass has been
lost and rebound, jealousy guarded
and maliciously stolen so many times
In the history Of civilization that 1t
seems almost impossible to say any
thing new on glass staining. Yet
process has been discovered for ma
king the stained glass used in windows
which Is a departure from anything
known at the present time What tho
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
face acquires peculiar pebbled char
acter in the heat. so that when the
glass is in place the lights are delight
fully soft and mellow.
In making a large window In many
shades each panel is separately mould
ed and bent and the sections are as
sembled in n metal frame.

Had Money In Lumps.

Charles H Rosenberg of Bavaria
had Jumps on his shoulders, elbows,
and hips when he arrived here from
Hamburg on the Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria In fact, there was series of
smaller Jumps along his spine, much
like mountain range, as 1t is present
ed on a bas-relief map.
The Jumps were about the size Of
good Oregon apples. and as Rosen-
berg passed before the immigration
doctor for observation, the doctor said
softly to himself. See that lump"
Then he asked Mr.. Rosenberg to step
aside
You seem like healthy man"
said the doctor, but I cannot pass you
until know the origin of those Jumps
on your body" "Ah, 1t is not a sick
ness" laughed the man from Bavaria
'Those swellings Is money"
Taking of his coat he broke open a
sample lump and showed that it con-
tanned $500 In American bank notes.
He informed the doctor that he had
$11, 900 in all, with which he was go

Weekly" printed some criticisms of the
not fancy 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 quito
clearly established:
Analysis Of brain by an unquestionable au-
thofity Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos
phete of Potash), 2.91 per cent of the total,
b.33 of all Mineral Salts.
This is over one-half.
Beaunis another authority, shows 'Phos

Considerable moro than onehaf of Phos

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 con-
stituent elements of the body, says: THE
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cell-sat, Potassium Phosphate
phosphate of Potash). This salt unites with
abumen and by the addition of oxygen creates
nerve fluid the gray matter of the brain.
OF course, there is a trace of other salts and

MosIem Traditions.

Ramadan is the month exalted by
Moslems above all others. In that
month the Koran-according to Mos
lem tradition-was brought down by
Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men in small sections. In that month,
Mohammed was accustomed to retire
from Mecca to the cave of Hira, for
prayer and meditation. In that month
Abraham, Moses and other prophets
received their divine revelations. In
that month the doors of heaven are
always open, the passages to hell are
shut, and the devils are chained" So

What About Brain Food?
This Question Came Up in the Recent
Trial for Libel.

Further on he says: "The beginning and end
Of the matter is to supply the lacking princi-
ple and in molecular form, exactly nature
furnishes 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
1t, you have brain fag because iIs 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.
In the trial sneer was uttered because Mr..
Post announced that he had made years of
search in this country and some clinics of
Europe, regarding the effect of the mind on
digestion of food.
But must be patient with those who
sneer at facts they know nothing about
