Can't Get Away From 1t

Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows Potassium
and Phosphorus (which join and make
Phosphate of Potash). is considerable more
than one-half of all the mineral salts in the
food.
Dr. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on the
constituent elements of the body, says:
The gray matter of the brain is controlled
entirely by the inorganic cel-salt, Potas-
sum Phosphate phosphate of Potash
This salt untes with abumen and by tine
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 Potassium
Phosphate is the chief factor and has the
power within itself to attract, by its own
law of affinity, all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life"
Further on he says: The beginning and
end of the matter is to supply the lacking
principle, and in molecular form, exactly as
Nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and
grain. To supply deficlencles-this is the
only law of cure"
The natural conclusion is that if Phos-
phate of Potash is the needed mineral ele-
ment in brain and you use food which does
not contain it, you have brain fag because its
daily loss is not supplied.
On the contrary, if you eat food known
to be rich in this element, you place be-
fore the life forces that which nature de-
mands for brain-buiding.
Mind does not work well on a brain that
is broken down by lack of nourishment.
A peaceful and evenly poised mind is
necessary to good digestion.
Worry, anxiety, fear, hate, etc, etc,
directly interfere with or stop the flow of
Ptyalin, the digestive juice of the mouth,
and also interfere with the flow of the
digestive juices of stomach and PAN
Creas.
Therefore, the mental state of the indi-
vidua has much to do (more than suspect
ed with digestion.
Brain is made of Phosphate of Potash

TARIFF DEBATE IS
BEGUN BY SENATE
Question Of Hearings on Bill,
Brought Up by Townsend, Is
Signal for 0utburst.

The advance guard Of the protracted
tariff debate which is coming in the
Senate arrived this afternoon. Tariff
discussion broke out for the first time
this session in the upper house.
The trouble began when Senator
Townsend of Michigan asked whether
the Finance Committee Democrats in
tended to have extended hearings on the
BILL Senator Williams thought hear
inss unnecessary. Senator Stone took
the same view. -
Senators Penrose, CLARK of Wyoming
and Warren led In urging that hearings
be allowed. Senator Penrose and Sena-
tor Clark taxed the eDmocrats with the
fact that the bill was being considered
In secret caucus in the House and that
no hearings had been held.
Senator Penrose sharply criticised the
secret caucus method of considering the
bill in the House. and declared the cot
tor schedule had come like "a bolt from
2 clear sky after the cotton manufac-
turers had been led to believe they
would get something entirely different.

LAY CORNERSTONE OF
/. COMMERCE BUILDING
Wilton, <ambert Declares That
Structure Marks Epoch in
Capital Development.

About one hundred citizens of Wash.
ington and Government officials attend
ed the laying of the cornerstone of the
new building for the Department OF
Commerce at Nineteenth street and
PENNSYLVANIA avenue northwest at noon
today.
Victor J. Evans. president of the
company organized for financing the
project. laid the stone and cemented
it in.
Wilton j. Lambert was the first
speaker at the exercises, and said The
building, on which the steel work is
more than half finished, marks new
epoch in the upbuilding of the National
Capital.
Work Together.
1t is significant" said Mr.. Lambert.
that in such enterprises as this. Gov
ernment and citizens have to work to-
eether. If the Capital had depended
solely on the Government for its de-
velopment. II would not be the beautiful
city Ii is today. nor would II have de-
veloped so splendidly without the Gov
crnment Government and private ctti-
zens must cooperate to produce the
best results.
Mr.. Lambert said such an occasion as
this emphasizes the necessity for the act
of 1878. He said such subject as this
illustrates the fact that the Government
is in no position to attempt to break
that contract.
He then introduced Southard Parker
as one of the men who, within twenty
five years, has caused the bank de-
posits of the District to triple. and who
has been in the forefront of fights for
the advancement of the city's interests.
Is Real Duty.
Mr.. Parker recalled that from the tine
OF George Washington. this city has
been the focus of nations eyes. He
says 1t is the duty of the Government
and the citizens of the District TO .end
all possible beauty to the National Capt.
tai. and that this particular building is
an especially desirable Improvement De-
cause il stands on Pennsylvania ave
nue-an avenue which has for so many
years been dear to the people of the
United States.
Mr.. Parker paid high tribute to Mr..
Evans for his zeal in bringing private
and Governmental interests together for
the good of both SIDES. M. Evans ce-
rlenteG the corner stone.
After the exercises Mr. Evans enter
taiu.d with luncheon at the Shore
ham Hotel There were about thirty
guests, Including stockholders in the
new company and other men who have
assisted in making the project a sue

Is it possible to nourish, strengthen, and
Rebuild the Brain by Food?
Every man who thinks uses up part of
the brain each day. Why doesn't it all dis
appear and leave an empty skull in, say,
month of brain work? Because the man
rebuilds each day.
If he builds little less than he destroys,
brain fag and nervous prostration result
sure. If he builds back 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 ice of the Arctic
sea? When you come to 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 a good variety but not in
suitable proportion in all.
To illustrate: we know bones are made
largely 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 growing child.
If we desired to keep brain strong and
healthy we would use food known to con-
tain the things Nature uses for the pur-
pose.
True, Nature provides these elements
in variety of edible things We submit
the following facts for those who. care TO
know something definite on the subject:
Analysis Of brain by an unquestionable
authority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral
Salts, Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined
phosphate Of Potash) 29l per cent of the
total, 533 of all mineral Salts
This is over one-half
Beaunis, another authority, shows 'Phos-
phoric Acid combined and Potash 1914 per
cent from total of l0l.07.
. Considerable more than one-half of Phos-
phate of Potash.

POWERO OF TAMMANY
HANGS IN BALANCE
Leaders Struggle to Obtain
New York CoIIectorship to
Save Organization. .

Tammany Halls fight to obtain
recognition at the hands of President
Wilson today reached the acute stage.
The New York organization representa-
tives have demanded from Senator
O'Gorman that he get for Tammany the
collectorship of New York.
OGorman has had il set forth plainly
Importance than the $4,000 salary which
goes with it and the vast patronage
that it bestows.
The prestige of the organization is
at stake, he has been informed, and if
the post is permitted to go to an out
and-out enemy of Tammany that fact
probably will cost the Democracy the
mayoralty of New York at the election
next fall.
The result is that the collectorship
retary of the Treasury McAdoo, who
is the man responsible for the opera
tions Of the office, picked Frank l..
Polk for the post. Polk is a protege
of former Mayor Mcclellan and, ac-
cording to McAdoo, is an anti-Tammany
man. But the upstate Democracy,
which is fighting Tammany, denied this
claim
Demand Plum for Sague.
Their representatives here, headed by
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose-
welt, have insisted to the President that
Polk would favor Tammany if he got
the job. and also that he has been the
attorney for certain big New York cap
italists. They demand that former
Mayor John X. Sague, of Poughkeep-
sic, be given the plum.
McAdoo has protested to the President
that he should be upheld and permitted
to name a man of his own selection. II
he is overridden in this matter, it will
be his second defeat. because when he
tried to have Robert Wooley, of Vir-
ginia, made second assistant of the
Treasury. Democratic National Chair
man McCombs interfered and said that
Wooley was obnoxious to him, with the
result that the Virginian was shifted 10
the job of auditor of the Interior De-
par:ment.
over in New York today a boom was
started for Thomas NJ. Mulry, head of
the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank.
of this city, to be collector. Mulry is
one of the best known financiers in
New York, very prominent in Irish
fairs, but has been considered close to
Tammany. When inquiry was made at
Executive Offices today regarding
Mulry,. this statement was forthcom-
ing:
Mulry Is Doomed.
Mr. Mulrys name is not being con-
sidered. but it is said that even though
he could have the place he would re-
fuse to take it."
That seemed to dispose of the Mulry
boom, and also added to the muddle.
IT is certain that Tammany has its
back against the wall and that II has
staked everything on securing this post,
If not for one of its own members,
at least for some one who is not an
ayowed enemy. Senator O'Gorman has
asked President Wilson to withhold
final decision in the matter until he
can confer with him.

Funds Are Needed for
Safe and Sane Fourth

Unless greater generosity is shown on
the part of citizens, Washingtons cele-
bratiOn of July a will be lacking In
many of the features which went TO
make former celebrations a success.
according to a statement of Commits
sioner Rudolph. chairman OF the safe
and sane committee on the Fourth OF
July" today. The Commissioner said
today that meeting of the committee
will be held early next month to dis
cuss plans.
Not less than 5000 will be needed for
A fireworks exhibition. and to finance
the athletic sneets and other features.
Unless there is an early indication from
citizens of a willingness to contribute
toward the fund II is probable the cele-
bration this year will be a tame affair

Youth Suspected Of
Book Bunco Game

Clifford B.. Emmars, nineteen years
old. a magazine subscription solicitor.
who says his home is at 2617 Dicker-
son street. Philadelphia. is being held
by the police for investigation in con-
nection with some of his subscription
transactions. No formal charge has
been filed against the young man.
Emmars says that his dealings have
been strictly legitimate and that failure
on the part of his customers to get the
magazines for which they subscribed
was due to neglect on the part of the
publishers in handling orders sent by
him.
For several months complaints have
been coming in at police headquarters
by persons in all sections of. the city
who say they have paid a solicitor 49
cents for three magazines to be sent
them for certain length of time. They
exhibited receipts, but asserted the mag
aZineS never came.
