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

A Weekly" printed some criticisms Of the
claims made for our foods. It evidently did
not fancy our reply printed in various news
some interesting facts came out
Some Of the chemical and medical experts
differed widely.
The following facts. however, were quite
clearly established:
Analysis Of brain by an unquestionable au-
thority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
plate Of Potash), POI per cent of the total,
6.33 Of all Mineral Salts.
This is over one-half
Beaunis. another authority, shows "Phos-
phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per
cent from q 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.
phate OF Potash). is considerable more than
one-hsH Of all the mineral salts in the food.
DR.. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on the con.
stituent elements OF the body says: 1.-THE
gray matter OF the brain ia controlled entirely
by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate
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 q trace Of other salts and
other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potas-
stun Phosphate is the chief factor, and has
the power within itself to attract. by its own

law Of affinity, all things needed to manufac
ture the elixir of life"
Further on he says: THE beginning and end
OF the matter is to supply the lacking princi
pie, and In molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes 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
1t. 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
brain-building.
In the trial 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 we'll on brain that Is
broken down by lack Of nourishment
A peaceful and evenly poised mind Is neces-
sary to good digestion.
Worry. anxiety, fear. hate, &C., &C., directly
interfere with or stop the flow 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.

LOCAL TRAVELLERS

two Richmond boys veiee their opin-
ions of the southland in a letter to
a Palladium reporter.
Last September the two young men
equipped with a team and a covered
wagon, several fire arms and fishing
tackle, cooking utensils and bedding,
together with other necessities of
camp life bid farewell to their many
friends and relatives in this city and
departed on trip to the wilds of Ar
iona.
Leaving the Quaker City on the
ninth of September they headed their
horses toward the setting sun, cross
ing the Hoosier state and made u fly
ing trip through Illinois.
Landing in st. Louis in November
they changed their course and turned
their faces toward the sunny south
land. Going through Missouri. the
land of the ''rock-ribbed hills" they
plunged into the land of Arkansas,
where. according to their statement
there is swap after swamp and one on
either side.
In southern Arkansas they decided
to spend the winter Accordingly, as
northern people do, the went to work.
At present they are located in the
most backwoods part OF the state.
Modern ways of doing things are the
exception it seems.
This is illustrated In a little Incl.
dent. They were going down one Of
the numerous trail and meeting man
of friendly appearance they led him
into conversation. TIE man was the
proud possessor OF team of horses
about the size of ordinary ponies. 1t
being remarked that they were rather
small for the country he. haughtily re
piled that the team could pull one
thousand pounds any place.

.DURAND GIVES HIS
REPORT ON CENSUS
Total Cost of Counting Un-
Gle Sans Citizens Over
Fourteen Millions.
american News Seryicel

Washington, Feb. 1S-Director t.
Dana Durand today submitted to Sec
Rotary Nagel of the department of
commerce and labor. his annual re-
port concerning the operations of the
bureau OF the census during the year
l9O9lo. IL is shown that the entire
cost of the field work on population
United States for the thirteenth census
was about $685., 500. In 1900 the cost
was S4,265,394. The 1910 cost was
about 371s per cent more than in 1900
The original estimate of SALT 900
as the total cost of the decennial CEN
sus. including the work of the bureau
during the census period, the director
now believes too low and he thinks, in
view of the additional work required
by congress and for other reasons it
will reach fully s14.50O.00o.
At the outset the director states
that it cannot be too earnestly urged
now that legislation is required for
the taking of the census of 1920 it
should be passed much earlier than
was done for the present census.
NUMBER OF Supervisors.
The census act authorized not to
exceed $50 supervisors. The number
actually appointed was 1923 in contin-
entail United States and one in Porto
Rico. They were residents of the dis
tricts from which they were appoint
ed. A number of enumeration dis
tricts finally established in contin-
entail United States was 60, 025 and in
continental United States there were
a, 100 enumerators.
The director states it is doubtless
true that considerable number of SUI
pervisors did not strictly adhere to
the bureau to allow political consider
atoms to interfere with their selection
of enumerators, but as far as could be
ascertained the great majority of
them either disregarded or subordin-
ated political considerations.
The total payment to enumerators
in continental United States as COM
pensation for their service and travel
ing expenses in the 18th census aggre-
gated about $4,S7O,0O0.
The corresponding expenses in the
census of 1900 were about $3,540,000.
The Office force of the bureau was
on August 81 last, at it's maximum
point, there being 3,73S persons on the
pay rolls.
The director advises that consider
alton should be given to the question
of constructing freproof buildings for
the temporary work Of scheduling of
the decennial census.

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON THE OLIVER BILL

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The senate
committee on commerce today author
lied a favorable report on the Oliver
bill which authorizes the Long Sault
Development Company to construct
dams, canals and power houses near
the Long Sault, Barnhart and Sheek
Islands, in the st. Lawrence river.
The question involves some inter-
national complications and the bill
was opposed by Gov. Dix, of New York
who wrote to the company pointing
out that the bill fails properly to pro-
tect the interests of navigation and
urged that survey be made before
action was taken. The original bill
calls for 80 year permit, but the
committee reduced this to fifty years.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Rep. Bennett
of N. Y. today continued his efforts to
keep annexation before the house in
connection with Canadian reciprocity
by placing on the house calendar the
adverse report on his two resolutions.
The action of the committee in vot-
ing, for adverse action on the resolu-
tons gave him an opportunity to call
them UP before the house. He may be
able to bring up the resolution either
under suspension of the rules or by
unanimous consent of the house, but
it is doubtful if either will ever be
granted.

man that drinks and advise him how
to reverse ii. The subconsci0us solil-

drinks runs something like this:
When did l have my last ball?
Whew! Long as that. don't sec how
thought 1t possible And SO on the
victim repeats to himself on the prin-
ciple that he needs this periodical
stimulant just as It Is necessary to
heap coal on TO fire to keep 1t from
burning out. In word, that man self
hypnotizes himself into the belief that
he needs a drink.
my advice to cure this craving Is
not to fight the appetite, but to fight
down the cause that leads to the ap-
petite. Let a man repeat to himself
over and over again: I really don't
need this drink II ! take 1t, It's SIM

my throat superfiuously, for could

will be surprised how instead OF hyp-
nothing himself into drink he will
