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
run the traditions.-The Christian
Herald

Hen Lays a Mammoth Eqq.

DR.. J. ]. Means, a dentist of Cha

White Langshans making a great
fuss She was cackling worse than
a flock of geese discussing how they
saved Rome. The doctor investi-
gated by visiting the nest which the
hen had just left. He considered she
was justified in advertising the fact
that she had just laid an egg, because
he found one that was IA inches

but was patterned after the airship
in which Walter WeIlman started to

Some of the chemical and medical experts

The following facts. however, were quite
clearly established:
Analysis of brain by unquestionable au-
thority, Geoghegan shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphcric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
phate OF Potash. 2.91 per cent Of the total,
5.33 of all Mineral Salts.
This is over one-hah.
Beaunis another authority, shows "Phos-
phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per
cent from total Of 1o1.07.
Considerable more than one-hah of Phos-
phate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus, (Which join and make Phos-.
plate of Potash), is considerable more than
one-hah of all the mineral salts in the food

AND
CENSUS FIGURES
How the Cutlery That No-Saloons
Means Decrease of Population
Finds Disproof.

The correspondent Of The National
Prohibitionist in Washington says:
Attention was called in the Census
Office t. day to the fact that the stock
arguments OF the liquor interests that
prohibition decreases population gets
little support from the census figures
OF course. the kind Of prohibition in
force isn't very much good, but it Is
the kind against which the liquor
crowd are all the time declaimng and
It is worth while to know the facts.
O1ly one state in the Union shows
a crease Ct population from 1900 to
1910. That is Icwa, which lost some
thing more than 1000 AMI drops from
the tenth place to the fifteenth place.
Between 1890 and 1900, during four
years of which Iowa had prob tory
law, the state gained in population al
most 100000 or 1877 per cent.
Kansas, with a prohibitory law bet
ter enforced than ever b fore in the
states history, gains fifteen per cent.
Of population. Missouri, the license
neighbor Of Kansas to the east. gains
only six per cent, and Nebraska, the
license neighbor ON the north, gain
11.S per cent. Coora1o, on the west
OF course, makes a large increase, but
under very different conditions.
Prohibition Ncrth Dakota makes
gain of sos per cent in population.
South Dakota, which has repudiated
prohibition, gains olly 45.4 per cent.
Minnesota. the licenss neigh5or Of
North Dakota on the east. gains only
1S5 per cent. while Montana on the
west, under license, with a population
so small that few peopls make a
large percentage il Increase, gains
only 54.5 per cent.
Coming to the old prohibition state
OF Maine, which the liquor interests
would have us believe is becoming a
desert because of prohibition, we find
that Maine made an incr ase of GO
per cent. This is better than Maine
did in the preceding ten years, when
the increass was only five per cent
Maine has two neighboTs that repud-
ated prohibition early in the decade.
New Hampshire and Vermont. New
Hampshire under prohibition from
1890 to 1900, gained 9.3 per cent. in
population; while from 1900 10 1910,
most of the time under license, it has
made a gain of only 46 per cent. Yer
mont has done better and makes a
gain of twc-hundredths of one per
cent. more than during the preceding
year, or total gain of 3.6 per cent, a
trifie above one-half of Names rer
cent of gain.
