Can't Get Away From It

Is it 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 it all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say a month Of
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
II he builds a little less than he destroys,
brain flag and nervous prostration result sure.
II he builds back a little more each day, the
brain grows stronger and more capable. That
also is sure. Where does man get the material
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 q good variety but not in suitable
proportion in all.
To illustrate: we know bones are made large
ly of lime and magnesia 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 a growing child.
Likewise If we would feed in a skillful man
ner to insure getting what the brain requires
for strength and rebuilding, we must first know
what the brain is composed of and then select
some article or articles (there are more than
one) that contain these elements.
Analysis of brain by an unquestionable
authority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts.
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
pnate OF Potash) 2.91 per cent Of TIE total,
6.33 Of all mineral Salts.
This Is over one-half.

Age Of Oysters.

Oysters grow only during the sum-
mer and especially during the long,
warm summer at that. and are scarce
ly big enough for the mouth before
the third year. 1t is easy after look
ing yer q bunch Of shells to tell how
old an oyster Is. A summer hump and
the winter sink come across the shell
every year, but after the seventh or
tenth year full growth comes; then, by
looking at the sinks between the
humps It lie hard to tell anything
more about Miss Oysters age. Oysters
live to be twenty years old.

BRITISH HOTEL COMPANY PLANS
To OWN CHAIN OF HOTELS
ALL AROUND THE WORLD

The following, from the Examiner,
refers to a London concern which was
recently reported to have offered five
million dollars for the st. Francis HO
tel, San Francisco:
Acquiring a big MOTEL property in
San Francisco and his negotiations
with the Hotel st. Francis owners for
an option on that fashionable hostelry,
formed only part of the recent mis-
sion of Albert d. Keller, director of
the Ritz-Carlton Company, to this city.
From a reliable source it was learn
ed yesterday that Keller, while in San
Francisco, obtained valuable data re-
garding the passenger business of the
American and Japanese trans-Pacific
liners. This data, it is said, will be
used later as basis for negotiations
with the Hartman officials and pos
sibly the Japanese liners toward TAX
ing over the provisioning of the big
steamships.
The principal steamship companies
engaged in the transatlantic service
are now operating their vessels under
contracts with the Ritz-Carlton Com
pany to feed their passengers on the
American plan.
To Invade Pacific.
1t is said that the British hotel COM
pany is ready to engage in a similar
service on the Pacifc-not that it will
prove anywhere as profitable as on
the Atlantic, but will aid the company
in extending it's prestige as a hotel
company around the world.
If the Ritz-Carlton people eventually
obtain control of the St. Francis, as
the pending negotiations would sug-
gest, their nearest similar interests
viii be in Montreal and Pittsburg on
this continent and Cairo on the other.
