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.

The League Of PoIiteness.

formed in Berlin. 1t aims at inculcat-

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

A weekly" printed some criticisms of the
claims made for four foods 1t evidently did
not fancy our 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 quite
clearly established:
Analysis of brain by an unquestonable au-
thority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
phate of Potash), POI per cent Of the total
6.33 of all Mineral Salts.
This is over onehalf
Beaunis, another authority, shows "Phos-
phoric Acid combined" and Potash 1914 per
cent from total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-half 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 the con-
stituent elements Of the body, says: THE
gray matter of the brain Is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate

abumen and by the addition of oxygen creates
nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain.
OF course, there is trace of other salts and
other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potas-

the power within itself to attract, by its own

Station, from whose bulletin on the
subject the following engrayings are
made. Sows and pigs should be kept
away from the main or winter pen as
much as possible. The SOW should
have plenty of exercise, plenty of
green and succulent food, and access

summer conditions both to SOW and
litter.
Fig. 1 is a good cot for a SOW that
is about to farrow, since she cannot
lie down close to the sides and thus
overlie the young pigs. A cot like
that shown in Fig. 2, however, gives
better ventilation and is preferable in
very hot weather. This is built GxS,

COMMISSION
SENDS OUT
OPINION
Indiana State Railroad Or
ganization Claims Juris-
diction Over Hammond,
Whiting and East Chicago
Street Railway Co.


Indianapolis. Ind, April 1.-THE In
diana Railroad Commission has receiv-
ed an opinion from homas NJ. Honan,
Attorney General that 1t has jurisdic-
tion over the Hammond Electric Com
pany, connecting Hammond, Whiting
and East Chicago; the Southern Indi-
ana Traction Company running from
New Albany to Jeffersonville, and the
Beech Traction Company, connecting
Indianapolis and Beech Grove, in so
far as the lines carry freight and pass
engers outside of the corporate limits
of cities and towns. The question was
presented by VIM. J. Wood, Chairman
of Commission In his opinion the At
torney General said
whether such a line comes within
the provision of the Railroad Commits
sion Act and falls under the jurisdic-
tion of the Commission depends upon
this test; does the company operating
the line operate a street car line or
lines in any of the cities or towns in
question? If yes. does 1t carry pass
engers only the line in question:
If still yes. does it operate the line in
question with its local town or city
cars and with them only. II these
propositions can be answered affirma-
lively, then the Company is free from
the jurisdiction of the Railroad Com
mission
On the other hand il all these propo-
sitions can be answered affirmatively,
except that over the line in question
the company carries both passengers
ard freight. then the company is free
from the jurisdiction of the Railroad
Commission in so far as it is engaged
in the carrying of passengers in its
local town or city cars. but no further.
In all other cases the commission has
jurisdiction by the words of the Statute
over all suburban and interurban
roads,
