Had Money In Lumps.


Charles H. Rosenberg of Bavaria
had Jumps on his shoulders, elbows,
and hips when he arrived here from
Hamburg on the Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria. In fact, there was a series of
smaller Jumps along his spine, much
like mountain range, as it is present
ed on a bas-relief map.
The Jumps were about the size of
good Oregon apples, and as Rosen-
berg passed before the immigration
doctor for observation, the doctor said
softly to himself, See that lump"
Then he asked Mr.. Rosenberg to step
aside.
You seem like a healthy man"
said the doctor, but cannot pass you
until know the origin of those Jumps
on your body" "Ah, it is not sick
ness" laughed the man from Bavaria
Those swellings is money"
Taking off his coat he broke open a
sample lump and showed that 1t con-
tanned $500 in American bank notes.
He informed the doctor that he had
$1,000 in all, with which he was go
ing to purchase an apple orchard in
Oregon.
He was admitted to the country

Of the matter is 10 supply the lacking princi-
pie and in molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes it in vegetables fruits and grain.
To supply defciencies-this Is the only law Of

The natural conclusion Is that if Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain flag because Us daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary If 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 a sneer 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

10, the Rich Indian,

The per capita wealth of the Indian
is approximately $3.50, that for other
Americans is only little more than
$1,000. The lands owned by the In
dams are rich in oil, timber and other
natural resources Of all kinds. Some
of the best timber land in the United
States IS owned by Indians.
The value of their agricultural lands
runs up in the millions. The ranges
which they possess support about 50O,-
600 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees.
bringing in a revenue Of more than
$272.000 to the various tribes besides
providing feed for more than 1,500,0 900
head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats
belonging to the Indians themselves.
Practically the only asphalt deposits
in the United States are on Indian
lands.-Red Man.

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
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
5.33 of all Mineral Salts.
This is over one-half.

phoric Acid combined and Potash 1874 per

phate of Potash, is considerable more than
one-half Of all the mineral salts in the food.

Moslem Ira editions.

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

The glass first receives its design In
mineral colors and the whole is then
fired in heat so intense that the col.
oring matter and the glass are indis-

feature Of this method is that the sur
face acquires a peculiar pebbled char
