The per capita wealth of the Indian is approximately $2,130, that for other Americans Is only a little more than $1,300. The lands owned by the Indians are rich in oil, timber and other natural resources of all kinds. Some of the best timber 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 500,-00-0 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 1,500,000 head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats belonging to the Indians themselves.

Albout Brain. Food? Came WSialt i This Question Up in the Recent Trial for Libel. ' A Acted Like the Genuine. The landlady says that new boarder is a foreign nobleman. "Bogus, Ill bet." Oh, I dont know. He may be the real thing. He hasn't paid her a cent as yet." A Weekly printed some criticisms of the claims made for our foods. It evidently did not fancy our reply printed in various newspapers, and brought suit for libel. At the trial some interesting facts came out. Some of the chemical and medical experts differed widely. The following facts, however, were quite clearly established: Analysis of brain by an unquestionable Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts, Fhosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phosphate of Potash), 2.91 per cent of the total, fi.33 of all Mineral Salts. This Is over Beaunis, another authority, shows Phosphoric Acid combined and Potash 73.44 per cent from a total of 101.07. Considerable more than of Phosphate of Potash. Analysis of Grape-Nut- s shows: Potassium and Phosphorus, (which join and make Phosphate of Potash), is considerable more than one-hal- f of all the mineral salts in the food. Dr. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on the constituent elements of the body, says: The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the Inorganic Potassium Phosphate (Phosphate of Potash). This salt unites with albumen and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain. Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by its own y, one-hal- one-hal- cell-sal- t. f law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life. Further on he says: The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies this is the only law of cure. The natural conclusion Is that if Phosphate of Potash is the needed mineral element in brain and you use food which does not contain it, you have brain fag because its daily loss is 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-buildin- In the trial a sneer was uttered because Mr. Post announced that he had made years of research in this country and some clinics of Europe, regarding the effect of the mind on digestion of food. But we must he patient with those who sneer at facts they know nothing about. Mind does not work well on a brain that Is broken down by lack of nourishment A peaceful and evenly poised mind is necessary to good digestion. Worry, anxiety, fear, hate, &c &c., directly interfere with or stop the flow of Ptyalin, the digestive Juice of the mouth, and also interfere with the flow of the digestive juices of stomach and pancreas. Therefore, the mental state of the individual has much to do (more than suspected) with digestion. This trial has demonstrated:' That Brain made of Phosphate of Potash as the principal Mineral Salt, added to 13 albu-me- n and water. That Grape-Nut- s more than one-hal- f contains that element as of all its mineral salts. A healthy brain is important, if one would "do things in this world. A man who sneers at "Mind sneers at the best and least understood part of himself. That part which some folks believe links us to the Infinite. Mind asks for a healthy brain upon which to act, and Nature has defined a way to make a healthy brain and renew it day by day as it is used up from work of the previous day. Natures way to rebuild is by the use of food which supplies the things required. Theres a Reason' Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle CreeK, Mich. -- |
