MINERALS FOUND IN FOODS
Doctors Found, Not So Long Ago, That
Iron Could Be Administered az
Tonic Through Diet. ;, x.4

Years ago. dosing with iron was part
Of the treatment for those who needed
a tonic. The doctor would order 1t
given In a spoon, without regard to the
Injurious effects on the teeth. Later
they prescribed tube for the admin
istration of iron. Not so long ago,
someone decided that iron could be
administered through the food, and
now doctors order iron through the
juice of spinach for infants, and the
spinach itself for older patients.
Spinach, lettuce, asparagus, beans,
cabbage, celery, radishes, squash, toma-
toes, carrots, turnips and onions all
contain iron, which helps to build the
red corpuscles. S@ 4
Other minerals which form part OF
the diet are potassium, which helps to
build cells. magnesium for the nerves,
calcium for building bone, and eel
lulose which exercises the muscles OF
the digestive tract. These minerals
are found in green vegetables. Car
rots deserve a higher place in the diet
than usually is given them. Lettuce
and celery could be used oftener to
advantage. Onions are better than
medicine. OF sprig Of barley follows
the onions, the odor of the onions will
be removed.) The minerals also help
to regulate the body processes.

What Great Rain Means.

Something Of what a great rain
means has been calculated by the Com
monwealth meteorologist of Victoria,
New South Wales. Last September, in
the regions greatest rainfall for half
century, the maximum downpour in
ten days was 27.6 inches at UIladuIla,
New South Wales, and over an area Of
more than 100000 square miles the av-
erage was nearly four inches. This
was about 400 tons per acre-a total
for the whole area of roughly 100000
100000 tons Of water A lake so miles
long and 20 miles wide would be filed
to an average depth of 1873 feet by this
quantity, and it is more than 100 times
the amount held by the Assouan dam
on the Nile, the worlds largest dam.

The Largest Bell.
(Brooklyn Eagle)

Moscow is said to have the largest
bell in the world. 1t is known as "the
Great Bell of Moscow" also as the
Monarch" 1t is 10 feet in height
measures 60 feet around the rim and
weighs 1913 tons. 1t was cast in 1868,
but, being cracked before it left the
foundry, was never hung. In 1897 it
was placed upon a granite base and
converted into a little chapel, the brok-
en- part forming the doorway. The
largest bell in use Is also in Moscow
and weighs 1928 tons According to one
account the alloy composing the great
bell consists of gold and silver and
copper and is valued at $150,000. Ac-
cording to Mulhall, the weight of this
bell is 202 tons. Claims have been
made that the largest bell In actual
use is in Buddhist temple or mon
astery near Canton. The claim IS
vague, however. This Chinese bell
was cast at the end of the fourteenth
century.

INDEX TO GEOLOGY.
Important Bulletin Just Issued by the
Geological Survey.

With the large and continual in
of science the need of the workers for
indexes is becoming more apparent
For geology, so far as it relates to
North America, this need is supplied
by the photography of North Ameri-
can Geology for 1916 with subject in
dex," by J. M. Niclles, just issued by
the United States geological survey,
department of the interior, as bulletin
665. This bulletin consists of two
parts; first, an author list giving the
books and publishers and titles of pa
pers and medium in which published.
The authors names are arranged al
phabetically and numbered consecu-
lively for easy reference from the Sec
ond part, which is an index to the
subjects treated by the writer's, also
arranged alphabetically There are
also supplementary lists of chemical
analyses and of minerals, rocks and
geologic formations described. This Is
the latest of series of annual biblio-
graphes which at intervals have been
cumulated by periods and cover all
geologic literature relating to North
America. This photography and its
predecessors, so far as they are still in
stock, may be obtained on application
to the director of the United States
geological survey, Washington, D. c.

~
IF the Mizpah mine continues to
develop in accord with present indica-
tons this copper property will in

liable in the state, because it is not
so remote from transportation as to

round figures to make the illustration
simple and as clear as possible. 1t s
assumed that the problem of invest
ed capital has been solved in a way
satisfactory to the government, and
that net earnings are arrived at after
all allowable and ordinary deductions,
including depreciation. The manner In
which tax rate fa) is interpreted in
the table is the one most in vogue at
this time, but there is just the posi-
bility that 1t may be interpreted an
other way and a way which would
make all the difference in the world.
If the words land not in excess of Is
per cent of the invested captdf
should be interpreted to refer to the
amount Of money raised by the 20 per
cent tax and not to the amount on
which the 20 per cent tax Is figured,
this 20 per cent tax would then total
upwards Of 100000 instead of $500
400. 1t hardly seems likely, however,
that such was the intention of the
trainers of the law. but it Is just such
debatable questions which makes cor
poration managers "jumpy" and causes
lawyers to look wise and say little.
In this connection it is of interest
to know that few days ago represen-
tative attorneys from all over New
York met in the offices of large trust
company to obtain different views on
the Interpretation Of the new tax laws.
After two hours of fruitless discussion
in which every variety of view was ex-
pressed, the meeting adjourned with
the consensus of opinion that no one
knew much about the new laws any
way, and nothing could be done until
Washington had been heard from.
In the example given no mention is

made of the normal per cent tax.
According to one authority, this is to
be deducted after the exemption and
excess taxes so that there is, accord
ing to that Interpretation, $840,036
further to be deducted before the
shareholders can figure their equities.
This further deduction would bring
the balance on the capital down to
approximately rs per cent, which. in
view of the times could scarcely be
regarded as beggarly even by security
holders accustomed to swollen earn
ings.
