Dr. Geo. W. Carey in his book on The Dlochemlo System of Medicine nerve-buildin- says: i When the medical profession fully understands the nature and range of the phosphate of potassium, insane asylums will no longer be needed. The gray matter of the brain Is controlled entirely by the Inorganic cell salt, potassium phosphate. This salt unites with albumen, and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve-fluior the gray matter of the brain. Of course, there Is a trace of other salts and other organic matter In nervefluld, but potassium phosphate is the chief factor, and has tho power within Itself to attract, by Its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life. Therefore, when nervous symptoms arise, due to the fact that the nerve-fluihas been exhausted from any cause, tho phosphate of potassium Is 'the only true remedy, because nothing else can possibly supply the deficiency. The ills arising from too rapidly consuming the gray matter of the brain cannot bo overestimated. Phosphate of Potash, is to my mind, the most wonderful curative agent ever discovered by man, and the blessings it has already conferred on the race are many. Hut 'what aball the harvest be when physicians everywhere fully understand the part this wonderful salt plays in the processes of life? It will do as much as can be done through physiology to make a heaven on earth. Let the overworked business man take It and go home Let he weary wife, nerves unstrung from attending to Blck children or entertaining company, take it and note how quickly the equilibrium will be restored and calm and reason assert ber throne. No provings are required We find this potassium salt here. largely predominates In nerve-fluid- , d and that a deficiency produces symptoms. The beginning and end of the matter Is to supply the lacking principle, and In molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes It in vegetablee, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies this Is the only law of cure. Please observe that Phosphate of Potash Is not properly of the drug-sho- p variety but Is best prepared by Old Mother Nature and stored In the grains ready for use by mankind.

POSTUM CEREAL CO.. Ltd. Dattle Creek, Mich. IIOIJGII the little pagan god who nearly always accompanies St. Valentine on February 14 has the same purpose wherever be goes, yet he does not everywhere employ the same methods for Its acIlls taccomplishment. tics differ In different places. He Is as versatile as he Is capricious. In New York city he still finds a way to myladya heart by going to her In a dainty bit of pasteboard, tissue paper, tinsel and paint all tucked way In a scented envelope. In Berlin he has recently found a new means of wounding his victims In the cooing postals, which are so constructed that when squeezed they will Imitate the plaintive note of a dove, la more prosaic London cupId has abandoned the postman for the telephone, and the London lover no longer sends his sweetheart an ardent message by letter, but recites it over the wire into her very ear. Whether or not he discloses his Identity depends on the reply he gets. Yet the most picturesque St. Valentine day customs are not to be found In the big cities, but In regions, where human nature retains much of its simplicity. In some of the rural villages of England, for example, the season is observed In much the same way as in the time of Queen Elizabeth and many a quaint auperaltlon still survives. In remote villages ot Derbyshire the custom still prevails of maidens looking out of their windows in the early morn of St. Valentine's day to learn who their lovers may be. Every girl who wants to get married Is supposed to Jump out of bed Just at daybreak and dressing hastily open a wondow facing the street. There she must wait until some man passes by, who tips his hat and says to her: 'tls St. Valentine's day. In , sir, reply she says: As a usual valentine. be your Ill thing, however, the passerby Is not a stranger. A Derbyshire girl usually keeps the shutter closed until through some crevice in them she espies the man Bhe wants.

Accordingly all the young men of the neighborhood on learning that some young woman has remained unklssed past the fatal hour make an attack on her house with brooms, and after sweeping her thoroughly, each of her callers kisses her. Tne French province of Lorraine has a custom somewhat similar, which is called beating the ladles." it dates back to the sixteenth century. On St Valentines morning every marriageable daughter ia expected to arise at daybreak and bake a heart-shapecake for the first young man who may come for 1L If she should oversleep, however, and her lover should call to find her all unmindful of him and the occasion which brought him to her door then his rivals are privileged to punish her in the following fashion: Armed with wisps of bay they may invade her room and, compelling her to get up, they may administer a not especially ungentle thrashing. In the county of Norfolk, England, there still survives a custom which recalls the times when St. Valentines day was observed throughout Great Britain and the continent by the presentation of substantial gifts. In this way not only lovers remembered their mistresses, but parents their children, husbands their wives, and In the merry days of Charles II. husbands gave presents to other mens wives. Among the young women of Devonshire the belief still lingers that they are able to learn who their future husbands will be If they go through a certain peculiar formula shortly after the midnight that ushers In St. Valentine's day. Each maiden should go alone to the porch of the village church and there wait until 12:20 a. m. Then as the bell strikes the half hour1 she should return - home scattering hempseed in her path and repeating: Hempsced I sow, hempseed I mow. He that will my true love be. Come, rake thla hempseed after me." And it she Is going to be married in the next year she will Indeed see her lover behind her clad In a winding sheet and raking up the hempseed. In many parts of Germany the children find St. Valentine's day a special occasion to obtain charity from young women, who cannot refuse them without being threatened with the fate ol becoming old maids. In certain villages of Saxony little boys and girls go from house to house singing a song which has been translated as follows tato English rhyme; "Qod blea tho baker. If you'll be tho giver.

Abraham Lincoln d BORN 1809 DIED 1865. sr IV T Alaska-Yukon-Pacif- all but a few certainly not more than a score, perhaps not more than a It is news that Lincoln was hit by a bullet fired by a Johnny Reb in battle. The histories do not record It, nor the biographies. Those who saw the occurrence thought little of it at the time, so pressing was the work they had In hand, and the president Is not known ever to have mentioned the Incident Concerned only with the welfare of a sundered nation and its suffering millions, and least of all with self, it Is probable that no thought of the experience recurred to him at any time In the period of stress and anxiety and important occupation that followed another bullet, less honest, that took away hts life. On the morning of July 12, 1864, a young lieutenant-colone- l of the New York volunteers, standing Just outside Fort Stevens, one of the series of forts that completely surrounded and guarded Washington, saw President Lincoln walking fearlessly among his soldiers, discussing the conditions and circumstances of the then Impending attack upon the city by Gen. Early and hts confedere ate forces, while a battle raged the breastworks. Watching with the curiosity of a soldier who had seen his president only twice before, the colonel was alarmed when he saw him hit by a bullet, which had sped through the air from the camp of the enemy. That young officer waa William P. Roome, who waa adjutant-genera- l and chief of staff to MaJ.-GeUpton. Sometimes Col. Roome has thought of writing to Lincoln's biographers and telling them of the Incident, but he procrastinated, not considering It a matter of sufficient Importance to Interest them. Lately, however, noting the renewed Interest in the minutest details ot the life of Lincoln, he believes that Americans would like to know tho facts. When the bombardment of Sumter was In progress Walker, the confederate secretary of war, making a fiery speech at Montgomery, Ala., declared: The flag which now flaunts the breeze here will float over the dome of the old capltol at Washington before the first of May. That boast appeared In the same Issue of the newspaper that printed President Lincolns call for troops, and Intensified the fears for the security of the capital already great because of the probable secession of Virginia and the doubt as to the position of Maryland. President Lincoln realized how much depended on hla holding Washington. Tho loss of the capital doubtless would result In European recognition ot the confederacy; the spirit TO h out-Bid- of the North would he broken, despair would follow, discouragement, defeat. So he bent his first efforts to defending the seat of government from those who would set up there a new nation not conceived In liberty. His deep anxiety in those days before the troops arrived and when Beauregard's army was said to be approaching, wilt be recalled by all who have read the story of the war. After the arrival of the Seventh New York regiment of who dandles. dined at Delmonlcos before departing and the Massachusetts and Rhode Island regiments of farmers, mechanics and tradespeople, the capital was In no danger until the attack of Gen. Early, when the Incident of Col. Roomes story occurred. But this did not entirely relieve the anxiety in the heart of the man who, from the window of hts executive office, could see a traitor flag floating over the home across the river where Washington had lived and died. When the fortifications were thrown up around the capital Lincoln knew of every detail of the work, consulted with the men In charge. Informed and advised them. It was, therefore, no occasion of comment when be left the White House on this July 12 and walked among the soldiers. They stood, ready for action, behind the walls while from the plain below came the sound of conflict Gen. Early's own story of hts movement upon Washington shows the situation in the confederate rankB on that day. lie had approached Washington from the north. Having heard that the outer works were feebly manned, he meant to take them by surprise, but before his first division could be brought up, he says, he saw a cloud of dust In the rear of the works and soon a column of men In blue filed Into them on the right and left Then skirmishers were thrown out In front while an artillery fire was opened on the confederates from a number of batteries. 'Our skirmishers were all thrown to the front." wrote Gen. Early, driving those of the enemy to the cover of their works, and we proceeded to examine the fortifications In order to ascertain If it waa practicable to carry them by assault. They were found to be exceedingly strong and consisted of what appeared to be Inclosed forts for heavy artillery, with a tier of low-e- r works In front of each, pierced for an Immense number of guns, the whole being connected by curtains with ditches In front and strengthened by palisades and abattls. The timber had been felled within cannon range all around and left on the ground, making a formidable obstacle, and every possible approach waa raked with artillery." Thus it would seem that President Lincoln Incurred little danger on the day when he went about within the fortification walla. But that he was tn soma danger is shown by Col Roomes story. Lincoln's Sarcasm. Probably the most cutting thing Lincoln ever aald was the rematk he made about a very loquacious man:.
