cation during the past year its con
-tained lu tho first volume or the au
nual report of Dr. Ulrner iilltfwoitu
Lilcown, commissioner oi education ot
the United States.
There ure muny activities closely
related to education which have re
ceived a largo measure of attention
in recent months, according to Com
missioner Drown. Libraries and mu
seums, Apprentice shops, public play
grounds, home-ami school uBBociutlouts
?such interests as these arc some
times treated ad lying just outside ot
the educational Inciosuro.
"There 1b," he Buy?, "an uumlstaka
hie tendeucy to widen the incloBure
und to bring these things into some
relation with the regular scholastic
admlniBtratlon.
"There are, moreover, numerouB un
dertakings which look to au extension
of educational opportunities to those
who have left school and have passed
tho ago of compulsory schooling. Kve
nlng and other 'continuation' schools,
public lectures, correspondence cours
es, home studies of the ch^utauqua
style, are all familiar examples."
Tho extension of tho area of com
pulsory school attendance hUB gone
forward/'- says Commissioner Drown,
"but the number of young Americans
#ho are allowed to grow up with only
meager schooling Is still distressingly
large."

Killing ot Pugilist Not Murder.
Philadelphia.?-a pruengbter takes
tho 8*mo chance or death aa u root

said Coroner Ford whan he discharg
ed John Kalme, a young pugilist, from
custody and exonerating him from all
blame in tho death of John Erahor,
whose skull was fractured in a re
cent bout at the Nonparlel Athletic
club. The bout, which ended fatally,
was between Kmhof, who Is better
known aa "Kid" Gardner, and Kalmo,

I?e, the Rich Indian.
The per capita wealth of the Indian
Is approximately $2,130, that for other
Americans Is only a little more than
91,800. The lands owned by the In
dians are rich In oil, timber and other
natural resources of all kinds. Borne
of the best 4imber land In the United
States Is owned by Indians.
The value of their agricultural lands
runs up In the millions. The ranges
which they possess support about 600,
000 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees,
bringing In a revenue of more than
$272,000 to the various tribes besides
providing feed for more than 1,600,000
head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats
belonging to the Indians themselves.
Practically the only asphalt deposits
In the United States are on Indian
lands.?-Red Man.
Our Voices.
I think our conversational soprano,
as sometimes overheard in the cars,
arising from a group of young persons
who havo taken the train at one of
our great industrial centers, for in
stance, young persons of the female
sex, we will nay, who have bustled in
full dressed, engaged In loud, strident
speech, and who, after free discussion,
have fixed on two or more double
?eals, which having secured, they pro
coed to eat applet! and hand round
daguerreotypes?I Bay, I think the
conversational soprano, heard under
these circumstances, would not be
among the allurements the old enemy
would put In requisition were he get
ting up a new temptation of 8t. An
thony.
There are sweet Voices among us,
we all know, and voices not musical,
It may be, to thoso who hear them
for the fjiht time, yet sweeter to us
than any we ehall hear until we listen
to some warbling angel In the over
ture to that eternity of blissful har
monies we hope to enjoy. 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. I have now been doing
my own cooking for nearly a year and
I foed my family twice as well on
about - two-thirds tho cost, A large
part of the savlnfe comes in the eco
nomical use of meat. 1 mako a de
licious dinner with a few scraps of
meat that a cook would give to the
dog.
"Then I depend a good ' deal on
soups, which I Invent to suit my
larder. 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. Again It is time that counts.
Cooks waste the coffee and tea hor
ribly. Mix the coffee with cold water
thq night before with an cgg6hell
ind bring It to a boll In tho morning
and you do not neod a great deal for
a good cup of cofTee. The tea in.the
kitchen Is piled into the teapot and
thrown out with but little of the good
ness extractod. -Another frightful
waste Is the coal. I use less than
half as much as any girl I ever had
and my stove bakes better. I never
complain of the draught, as she does
or did after burning all tlie goodness
out of her coal In the first hour after
lighting."

"A what?" asked the waitress, as

"Adam and Eve flat on their backs!

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. They are
losing touch with the source of all per
sonal and social power."

The League of Politeness.
? The League of Politeness haa been
formed in Berlin. It alms at inculcab
ing better manners among the people
of Berlin. It was founded upon the
Initiative of Frauleln Cecelle Meyer,
who was Inspired by an existing or

Why He Laughed.
Mlaa Mettle belonged to the old
aouth, and she waa entertaining a
gueat of diatinctlon..
On the morning following hla arrival
ehe told TUUe, the little colored maid,
to take a pitcher of fresh water to
Mr. Firman's room, and to say that
Miss Mattie aent him her compliments,
*and tha( if h? wanted a bath, the
bathroom waa at hla service.
When Tlllle returned she said:
"I tor him, Mlae Vhttle. en* he
laughed fit to bua' hlsself."
"Why did he laugh, Tftiie?"
"I dunno."
"What did you tell him?"
"Jue' what you toP me to."
"Tillie, tell me exactly what you
aald."
"I hanged de doah, and I said, 'Mr.

Exaggeration.
On her arrival in New York Mme.
Sara Bernhardt, replying to a compli
ment on her youthful appearance,
said: "The secret of my youth? 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. Our boule
vards are much more crowded than
your streets, you know, and, although
we have numerous accidents, things
aren't quite as bad aa the nurse sug
gested. -
"Her little charge, a boy~of~Hx;
begged her to stop a while In a crowd,
surrounding an automobile accident.
'Please wait,' the little boy said, 'Want
to see the man who was run over.'
'No; hurry,' his nurse answered.
'There will be plenty more to see
further on.' ?'
Had Money in Lumps.
Charles H. Rosenberg of Bavaria
had lumps on his shoulders; elbows,
and hlpa when he arrived here from
Hamburg on the Kalserin August? Vic
toria. 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.
He informed the doctor that he had
$11,000 in all, with which he waa go
ing to purchase an apple orchard in
Oregon.
He was admitted to the country.-1?

i New Process of Staining Glasa.
The art of coloring glass has bee*
lost and refound, jealously guarded

seems almost impossible to say any
thing new on glass staining. Yet ?>
process has been discovered for m*

which is a departure from anything
known at the present time. What thi
Venetians and the Phoenicians knew
of it we cannot tell.

Fidelity to-Parole.
Judge CraJn of the Court of Gen*

human faith. can do to help human
weakness to redeem Itself tad be '

Each of the company had been con

What About Brain Food?
THis Question Came Up in tKe Recent
Trial for Libel.
A "Weekly" printed some criticisms of the
claims made for our foods. It evidently did
not fancy our reply printed in various news
papers, afid brought suit for libel. At the trial
some interesting facts came out.
Home or the chemical and medical experts
differed widely.
The following facts, however, were quite
clearly established:
Analysis of brain by an unquestionable au
thority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
rhosphorlc Acid and Potash combined (Phos
phate of Potash), 2.91 per cent of tho total.
fv.SS of all Mineral Salts.
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.
In the trial a sneer was uttered because Mr.
Post announced that he had mate rears of re
search la thla oouatry and eeme cUnice of
Europe, regarding the effect of the mind on
digestion of food.
But w? must be patient with those who
sneer at facta they now aothiag about,
