DIET FOR THE BRAIN-W0RKER
Should Be That Nourlshlns to the
Whole Body, With Special Refer
ence to Nervous System.

A great deal has been said about
the value of certain articles as brain
food, and one of the pet theories Of
popular physiology has been that fish
and other substances composed large
ly of phosphorus are the most appro-
pirate diet for brain-workers. But
modern science is emphasizing that
the best food for the brain is that
which nourishes the whole body, with
special reference to the nervous sys-
TEN.
Brain power Is largely an express
sion through the nerves of bodily vi.
talty. In discussing this point in a
recent treatise. DR.. George M. Beard
says that the diet of brain-workers
should be of large variety, delicately
served, abundantly nutritious, of which
fresh meat should be a prominent con
stituent.
In vacations. or wherever it Is de-
sired to rest the brain. fish may, to a
certain extent, take the place Of meat
He says we should select those arti-
Giles that are most agreeable to our
individual tastes and so far as pos
sible we should take our meal amid
pleasant social surroundings.
In great crises that call for unusual
exertion we should rest the stomach,
that for the time the brain may work
the harder, but the deficiency Of nu.
triton ought always to be supplied in
the first interval Of repose.

DANGER IN CLOSE ALLIANCES
investigation Has Shown That Cancer
Is Most Probable When Cousins
Are Welded. 4


Speaking Of the possible hereditary
tendency to cancer, DR.. Charles 3.
Davenport of the eugenics laboratory
at Cold Spring Harbor, N Y, says
of the fact that the incidence of cancer
is highest in Maine; 81 have no doubt
that this is due TO the presence OF one
or more races in Maine which are non
immune to cancer"
Doctor Davenport's studies indicate
that resistance to cancer Is a positive
(dominant) trait and that nonresist-
ance appears In children only when
both parents belong to a nonresistant
race. And this result Is commonest,
other things being equal, where cousin
marriages are commonest, because
that makes 1t probable that II one
parent belongs to a cancer race, the
other-the cousin-will belong to the
same cancer race. Now, in rural
Maine cousin marriages are extremely
frequent, especially in the islands of
the coast, and here we have the con-
ditions for the result-the high Incl
dence of numbers of the cancer race
in an inbred community"

THE GROWTH OF
WESTERN CANADA
Increase in Railway Mileage,
School Attendance and
Population.

Some idea of the extent or raip7ay
construction in Western Canada can
be derived from the fact that the rail-
way mileage in the Province OF Al
berta has been doubled in three years.
The present mileage is 097. In all
0: the settled districts there is ample
railway privileges. The rates are gov
erned by Dominion Railway Commits
sion, and in the exercise Of their pow
ers they not only control the rates,
giving fair equality to both railway
and shipper, but form O. court to hear
complaints of any who may desire to
lodge the same.
In the matter of education no better
instance Of the advancement that Is
TALKING place can be given than that
found in the information to hand that
attendance at the University OF AL
berta has increased 1000 per cent In
Eve years, and is now thoroughly rep
reseutative of all settled portions or
the Province. The studeAts in attend
ance are from sixty-one distinct dis.
tricts.
Then as to the prosperity which fol-
lows residence in Western Canada, j.
E. Edward Of Blackie, Alta, gives
splendid testimony. He writes, I'm

CHAPTER VII.

The first object brought to light
about two feet beneath the surface
was a piece Of dark gray wooden stuff
which, when the mold was removed
proved to be part of a woman's skirt.

hole we had made and removed the
soil with my hands, until / suddenly
touched something hard.
A body lay there, doubled up and
crushed into the well-like hole the
men had dug.
Together we pulled IL out, when, to
my surprise, on wiping away the dirt
from the hard, waxen features, I rec.
ognized 1t as the body of Armida, the
woman who had been my servant in
Leghorn and who had afterwards mar.

lily preparing to go to the theater the
other afternoon, gossipy neighbor
came to the front door. The woman
stopped in the middle of the process
Of putting on her best shoes and
talked to the neighbor for some time.
When the neighbor left she looked at
the clock and saw she would have to
hurry So she hastily finished dress
ing and made dash for the car.
She noticed a young man watched
her all the way downtown She
searched her coat thoroughly for a
stray raveling, but found none.
After attending the theater she
boarded a car and still noticed that
she attracted attention. She followed
one girls eye and saw that 1t centered
on the bottom of her dress. Looking
to discover the cause she found that
in her haste she had only changed one
of her shoes and on her left she wore

until dusk they discovered nothing

how the body had so suddenly disap-
peared. whereupon she stared at me
pale faced. saying:
"The assassins must have watched
us! They are aware, then, that we
have knowledge of their crime?"
"Of course" said
"Ah!" she cried hoarsely. Then we
are both In deadly peril-peril of our
own lives! These people will hesitate
at nothing. Both you and are marked
down by them, without doubt. We
must both be wary not to fall into any
trap they may lay for u.s."
Her very words seemed an admis-
sion that she was aware of the identity
of the conspirators, and yet she would
give me no clue to them.
Next day l accompanied the party
over to Glenlea. about five miles dis
tant, and at noon at spot previously
arranged, we found the ladies awaiting

she had been doing manual labor.
Armida had been particularly good

keen sense of humor. 1t was a great
shock to me to find her lying dead.
The breast Of her dress was stained
with dried blood, which, on examina-

and fatal wound beneath the ear where
she had been struck an unerring blow
that had severed the artery.
