Fish as Brain Food.

Fish is a brain food" Here is an
assertion that we hear repeatedly
given forth with great solemnity.
There is, however. no foundation
whatever for the belief that fish con.
talns any particular elements that
adapt them especially as food forsthe
brain or which support mental efforts.
The value Of fish as food TO persons
engaged In mental labor is found In
the fact that fish do not contain large
quantities Of those materials that de.
mand much physical exercise or exer-
tion for their complete consumption.
As the bralnworker is seldom physl.
cally active. the value of fish as food
for him Is due to what is not con-
taIned in the fish.

Gas Whistle Would
Almost Awaken Dead

The new whistle which the fire de-
partment has installed on the city
hall and which is operated by gas
from the Cunningham gas well, is a
success A six-inch whistle, which
would almost awaken the dead from
their slumbers and which has a tone
like an ocean steamer, has bocn erect
ed onla two inch pipe extending high
in the air above the building. The
mechanism which operates the whis-
tie is the same as was formerly used
for the fire bell. L. o. Van Wegen
has been tinkering with the machin-
cry until he now has it working bet
ter than II ever did before.
The gas whistle idea Is Mr.. Van
Wegen's, and to his inventive brain
the city is indebted for a saving of
several hundred dollars. A heavy
steel bell tower would have been nee
essary had not Mr.. Van Wegen con-
ceived the whistle idea.

All homestead entrymen who have
not made proof on their entries, and
who enlist in any branch of the armv

mating the branch of the service they
have entered. This will enable the

selves from their entries to serve
their country in time of war.
