Hut why should I tell lies? If my friends love me. It Is because I try to tell the truth. I never heard but two voices In my life that frightened me by their sweetness.'?Holmes. Add to Cost of Living. The American Magazlno reprints a letter which was sent to the Massa chusetts cost of living commission, it goes as follows: "It seems to mo that tho elimination of waste Is nearly Impossible in house holds where there are numerous serv ants; at least, 1 havo found It bo, with only one, and the waste rises in geometrical progression with the num. bor employed.

A fow cold baked beans, with a little tomato and a bit of meat on a bore, or a little left over gravy, make a soup that all eat with much pleasure and it Is so nourishing that It goes far to mako the dinner. Most people do not understand how different a soup 18 when it has simmered a good many hours. The soup thnt has been boiled fast a eoup.e ol V~.ur:i will taste flat and uninteresting, whereas tho same soup Ave hours later will havo such a delicious blend of flavors that all you know Is that It is nlco without being ablo to distinguish tho Ingre dients.

All Need tho Earth, There is an Antaeus in every one of us and in the whole of us which needs tho earth," says Henry Dem Brest Lloyd in his posthumous book. "A grandmother was spreading before the vision of a beloved child a picture of the beauties of heaven with Its gates of pearl and Its pavements of gold. What,' said the scornful boy, unpactlvated, 'no mud?' There spoke the real philosopher. We are earth animals, and we need contact with all tho aspectB of nature, human na ture, and other nature. They who feed wholly on white bread and the tenderloin and the sweetness and light of tho best people, art for the art's sake, cannot get phosphates enough and Boon develop the rickets. The man I heard say he liked to eat with the common people once In a while, the woman you heard say that sho thought It waa her duty to aa soclato with the middle claaa, confess the approach of extinction.

It 1b the good God?'and then, you know, I work all the time. But I am 4 great-grandmother," she continued, thoughtfully, "so how can these many compliments be true? I am afraid my friends are exaggerating." Mme. Bernhardt'a laugh, spontane ous rs a girl's, prompted a chorus of "No, no!" "Yes," said the actress, "uncon scious exaggeration, like the French nurse on the boulevard.

In fact, there was a series of smaller lumps along his spine, much like a mountain range, a8 it is present ed on a bas-relief map. The lumps were about the site of good Oregon apples, and as Rosen berg passed before the immigration loctor for observation, the doctor said softly to himself, ? "See that lump." Then he asked Mr. Rosenberg to step aside. "You seem like ft healthy man," said the doctor, "but I cannot pass you until I know the origin of those lumps on your body." "Ah, it is not a sick ness,"'laughed the man from Bavaria. "Thoee swellings is money." Taking off hla coat he broke op^n a sample lump and showed that It con tained $500 In American bank notes.

This Is over one-half. Beaunis, another authority, shows vPhoa phorlc Acid combined" and Potash 78.44 per cent from a total of 101.07. Considerable more than one-half of Phos phate of P6tash. T * Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: PotaSalum and Phosphorus, (which Join and make. Phoa phate of Potaah), la considerable moro than one-half of all the mineral Mlts In the food. Dr. Geo. w. Carey, an authority on the con stituent elements of the body, sayi: *'Tho Cray matter of the brain la controlled entirely by th* coll-ealt, Potassium Phosphate (Phosphate of Po|||hi. Thts salt anttes with albumen and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain. Of course, there ts a trace of other aalta and other organic matter in nrrve fluid, but Potas sium Phosphate 1/ the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract* by ita own law of affinity, all things needed to manufac ture the elixir of life." Further on he aaye: "The beginning and end of the matter la to aupply the lacking princi ple, and In molecular form, exactly aa nature furnishes It in vegetables, fretta and grain. To supply deflcienolee-Hthls la the only law of cure." The natural conclualoa is that if Phoaphate of Potash is the needed mineral element in brain and you uae food which doee not contain it, you have brain fag because ita dally losa it not supplied. ? On the contrary, if you eat food known to be rich in this element, you place before the life forces that which nature demands for brain-building.
