cent from total Of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-half of Phos-
phate of Potash
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
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
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 nerve fluid,
but Potassium Phosphate Is the chief factor
and has the power within itself to attract by
its own law of affinity, all things needed to
manufacture the elixir Of life"
Further on he says 1.-THE beginning and end
OF the matter is to supply the lacking principle.
and In molecular form, exactly as nature fur
nishes 1t in vegetables, fruits and grain. To
supply .defciencies-this Is the only law of
cure"
The natural conclusion Is that II Phosphate
Of Potash Is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain flag 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
brainbuiiding.
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.

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.
"'Tisp't only studies. but it's gymna-
SUM anG banjos and everything I
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. / can stretch my
mouth half an inch wider than any
other boy In school, and my feet are

Can't Get Away From It

Is il 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 a month of
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day
If he builds little less than he destroys.
brain flag 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
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 magnesa 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 II we would feed In a skillful man.

for strength and rebuilding, we must first know
