IT'S THE FOOD.
The True Way to Correct Nervous
Troubles.

Nervous troubles are more often
caused by improper food and indiges-
ton than most people imagine. Even
doctors sometimes overlook this fact.
A man says:
Until two years ago waffles and
butter with meat and gravy were the
main features of my breakfast. Finally
dyspepsia came on and l found myself
in bad condition, worse in the morn
ing than any other time. l would have
a full, sick feeling in my stomach.
with pains in my heart, sides and
head.
"At times I would have no appetite,
for days then l would feel ravenous,
never satisfied when did eat and so
nervous l felt like shreking at the
top of my voice. l lost flesh badly and
hardly knew which way to turn until
one day l bought box of Grape-Nuts
food to see If could eat that. tried
It without telling the doctor, and liked
It fine; made me feel as If had some
thing to eat that was satisfying and
still didn't have that heaviness that
l had felt after eating any other food.
II hadn't drank any coffee then in
five weeks. l kept on with the Grape
Nuts and in q month and half had
gained Is pounds, could eat almost
anything I wanted, didn't feel badly
after eating and my nervousness was
all gone. It's a pleasure to be we'll

MORE TEACHERS NEEDED

The national welfare depends on
Agricultural prosperity; agriculture It,
self is daily becoming more and more
of a science; and these two factors
reinforce the pressing demand for
more and better agricultural educa.
ton among the rural population But
where are the teachers of agriculture
coming from? This question is raised
by A. c. Monahan, specialist in rural
education of the United States bureau
of education.
AT present nearly two thousand
high schools are teaching agriculture,
the course being taken by an aggre-
gate of some $1,000 pupils" says Mr..
Monahan. But in all these schools.
only a very few besides those giving
four-year courses in this subject have
instructors with a college or normal
school training in scientific agricul-
ture, while large percentage of the
active teachers with this training
have had &c training in psychology or
pedagogy.
Probably 10 one factor has had
greater influence in retarding the
introduction of substantial courses In
agriculture in all those higher schools
whose pupils are drawn in large mum
bers from farming districts than the
shortage of properly qualified teach
ers."

CAGE MASTS' VALUE PROVED

Far from pronouncing the doom of
the cage mast Of the American battle
ships, the recent firing tests in Ches-
apeake Bay are regarded by naval Of
ficers as demonstrating most concinc-
ingly the efficiency Of the cage mast.
Sixteen 12-inch explosive shells
were fired at the experimental cage
mast erected on the hulk of the San
Marcos, formerly the battleship Tex
as, which lies on the shoals of Tangier
Sound, Chesapeake Bay. or these
thirteen were fair and square hits,
and the last hit toppled the mast into
the water, while this heavy fire, con-
centrated upon the mast at close
range, resulted after thirteen hits in
the destruction of the mast. Naval
officers assert that in the first place
the masts of ship in action would
never under any imaginable circum-
Stances, be subjected to such fire.
IN the second place, it is declared, two
or three well-directed shots at one of
the old-time cylindrical masts would
be sufficient to bring it down. There
fore the recent tests prove conclusive
ly that the cage mast can withstand
at least six or seven times the firing
that the old mast can endure.
The cage mast originated with the
American navy, though other navies
are beginning to adopt it.

Pe-ru-na is a better remedy for some
conditions than Ka-tar-no. They are
both intended as catarrh remedies.
They have both done a great work in
relieving catarrh, chronic and acute.
Many hundreds of cases of chronic
catarrh have recovered while taking
Ka-tar-no and the same is true of the
revised Pe-ru-na during the last six
years since it's revision.
There is a difference, however, in
the two remedies. Whenever catarrh
is associated with constipation then
the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. In
deed, this is exactly why the revision
was made, to meet such cases. But
where no laxative is needed, where the
bowels are regular or inclined to be
loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (Ka-tar-

GOLD IN VALDEZ.

Thousands Of gold seekers who
joined in the mad rush to the Klon-
dixie hurried over ground containing
that very treasure which they ex-
pected to find at the end of their
journey. Many of these gold seekers,
indeed, must have passed in sight of
the quartz vein near the Valdez
glacier which II years later was de-
veloped into what is now known as
the Cliff mine This vein has aver
aged about $50 ton, mostly in free
gold, with little change in depth, the
concentrates running about per cent
and carrying about 500 worth of gold
to the ton, according to report OF
the United States geological survey.
This is probably a fair measure OF the
gold content of the ores of the dis
trict, though many property owners
report contents ranging from SIS to
$500, or even higher.
= The Cliff mine became productive
in 1910 and proved to be very profit
able. Its success greatly stimulated
prospecting by local miners and also
attracted the attention of nonresi-
dents, who quickly recognized the pos
sibility of developing here new min
ing district. AS a result, several hun
dred lode claims were staked and con-
siderable development work was I'M
dertaken in 1910 and 1911.
At this time Alfred H. Brooks, geolo-
gist in charge of the Alaskan work of
the United States geological survey,
visited the region and made an ex-
animation of it's possibilities, and his
report, just issued by the survey,
shows that the most encouraging fea-
ture of the district is the fact that
one lode has been proftably mined to
depth Of about 400 feet and for
about 500 feet along the strike. So
far as can be seen, he states, there
are no geologic conditions at the Cliff
mine which are not found elsewhere
in the region.
