SETTING A HIGH STANDARD
Child's Idea of Goodness Set Forth
in Perfect Faith , Without
Irreverence.
All things are relative , and to the
'Child , gazing at life and its wonders
with eyes as yet undimmed by so
phistication or sorrow , nothing is 1m-
.possible , nothing unspeakable , noth
ing too sacred to be discussed or too
difficult to be attempted. Not irrev
erence nor impertinence , but inno
cence prompts such speeches as that
recorded of the child of a popular
.journalist by his devoted paternal
grandmother.
"Grandma , " said the little boy , de
lightedly addressing her , "do you
know what's going to happen ? Papa
-says that if we're real , real good , he'll
take us to the circus ! "
"That's nice , " smiled the young-
hearted adult between whom and the
eager youngling no hint of age sepa
ration mars perfect comradship. "How
-good do we have to be ? "
The embryo man , after a moment of
silent consideration : "Oh , as good as
God , I guess ! "

FEED YOUNG GIRLS
iMust Have Right Food While Growing.
Great care should be taken at the
-critical period when the young girl is
just merging into womanhood that the
diet shall contain that which is up-
Tjuilding and nothing harmful.
At that age the structure is being
formed and if formed of a healthy ,
: sturdy character , health and happiness
will follow ; on the other hand un-
healthj' cells may be built in and a
: sick condition slowly supervene which ,
Jf not checked , may ripen into a
-chronic condition and cause life-long
.suffering.
A young lady says : 5
"Coffee began to have such an effect
on my stomach a few years ago that I
finally quit using it It brought on
headaches , pains in my muscles , and
nervousness.
'I tried to use tea in its stead , but
found its effects even worse than those
I suffered from coffee. Then for a long
time I drank milk at my meals , but at
'Jast it palled on me. A friend came to
Ihe rescue with the suggestion that I
'try Postum.
"I did so , only to find at first , that I
, . f-didn't fancy it But I had heard of so
-many persons who had been benefited
"by Its use that I persevered , and when
.1 had it made right according to di
rections on the package * I found It
rgrateful in flavour and soothing and
strengthening to my stomach. I can
-find no words to express my feeling
-of what I owe to Postum !
"In every respect it has worked a
-wonderful improvement the headaches -
-aches , nervousness , the pains in my
iside and back , all the distressing
symptoms yielded to the magic power
-of Postum. My brain seems also to
share in the betterment of my phys
ical condition ; it seems keener , more
.alert and brighter. I am , in short , in
"better health now than for a long
-while before , and I am sure I owe it
to the use of your Postum. " Name

HEALTHY KIDNEYS ESSENTfAL
TO PERFECT HEALTH.
When healthy , the kidneys remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
from the blood daily ; when unhealthy ,
Borne part of the impure matter is ab
sorbed , causing various diseases and
symptoms. TO attain
perfect health , you
must keep your filters
right. You can use
no better remedy
than Doan's Kidney
Pills.

His Wurst.
The German proprietor of a Brook
lyn delicatessen store has got far
enough along to pun in English. A
writer in the New York Sun reports
the fact.
Hanging in the window of the little
shop is this advertisement :
"The Best You Can Do Is Buy Our
Wurst" Youth's Companion.
Well Mated.
Thus the Inquisitive boarder :
"What has become of the old-fash
ioned woman who used to call a wed
ding reception an infare ? "
Response by the white-haired
boarder :
"I think she married the old-
fashioned man who used to crack his
knuckles regularly twice a day. "
To the Point.
Over in Hoboken in a shop frequent
ed by Germans , hangs a sign framed
in mournful black , reading thus :
"We regret to inform our honored
customers that our good and generous
friend , Mr. Credit , expired today. He
was a noble soul , always willing and
helpful , but has been failing for some
time. May he rest in peace. PAY

Socially Launched.
In hi3 native town Jimmy had al
ways been most popular with young
and old , but when he was sent away
to boarding school , he was for a time
too homesick to make friends. His
first letter was little more than a
wail.
"I'm way behind the other boys in
everything , " he wrote , dolefully.
" 'Tisn't only studies , but it's gymna
sium and banjos and everything. I
don't believe they'll ever have much
use for me. "
But the second letter , written after
a week in the new school , was quite
different in tone.
"I'm all right , " he wrote to his
mother. "The boys say they'll teach
me all they know , for they're proud
to have me here. I can stretch my
mouth half an inch wider than any
other boy in school , and myt feet are
the longest by a full inch. So you
needn't worry about me any more. "

Age of Oysters.
Oysters grow only during the sum
mer and especially during the long ,
warm summers at that , and are scarce
ly big enough for the mouth before
the third year. It is easy after look
ing'over a bunch of shells to tell how
old an oyster is. A summer hump and
the winter sink come across the shell
every year , but after the seventh or
tenth year full growth comes ; then , by
looking at the sinks between the
humps it is hard to tell anything more
about Miss Oyster's age. Oysters live
to be twenty years old.
A Question of Change.
A story is going the rounds of a
couple of young people who attended
church recently. When the collection
was being .taken up the young man
commenced fishing in his pocket for
a dime. His face expressed his em
barrassment as he hoarsely whis
pered : "I guess I haven't a cent , I
changed my pants. " The young lady ,
who had been examining the unknown
regions of woman's dress for her
purse , turned a pink color and said :
"I'm in the same fix. "
A Poetic Prosecutor.
John Burns , city prosecutor of St.
Paul , was trying to show Judge Fine-
hout why some young men ought to
be fined for tearing pickets off the
fence of Mrs. Joe Goesik. Mr. Burns
said :
"I know Mike Chicket tore off that
picket , and the lady took offence. "
"No lady is charged with taking a
fence , " replied Judge Finehout , "and ,
besides , this is no place for poetry. "
The Riddle.
The Sphinx propounded a puzzle.
"Why-does it always rain the day
you move ? " she asked.
Herewith the ancients gave it up.
Many a girl would promise to marry
a man if she thought he wouldn't be
so silly as to expect her to live up to
her promise.

Acknowledged the Truth to
His Friends's Query.
Apropus of a beautiful young wife ,
worth § 40,000,000 , who had just di
vorced her penniless husband in or
der to marry again , Henry E. Dixey ,
the comedian , said at a dinner in New
York :
" .The young man who marries for
money has none too easy a time of it.
His rich wife is likely to tire of him
and throw him out in a few years , or
else she is likely to limit his allow
ance to 25 or 50 cents a day.
" 1 married money , ' a man once
said to me.
" 'Wasn't there a woman attached
to it ? ' I asked.
" 'Yes , you bet there was , ' he ex
ploded. 'So much attached to it that
she never parted with a penny. ' "
"Kicking the Bucket. "
When we speak facetiously of some
one for whom we have no reverence
as having "kicked the bucket" we
employ a phrase that would seem to
be a piece of latter-day slang , but , as
a matter of fact , it dates back to old
England , when , about the year 1725 ,
one Bolsover hung himself to a beam
while standing on the bottom of a
bucket and then kicked the bucket
away. Although at first used only in
cases of suicide , it has been applied
in the course of years to any death
without distinction.
It sometimes happens that a street
fight reminds a married man that
there are other places like home.
phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per
cent from a total of 101.07 ?
Considerable more than one-half of Phos
phate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows : Potassium
and Phosphorus ( which join and make Phos
phate of Potash ) is considerable more than
one-half 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 cell-salt , Potassium Phos
phate ( 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 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 fur
nishes 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-building.

EXPERIENCE.
Can't Get Away From It
Is it possible to nourish * strengthen and Re
build the Brain by Food ?
Every man who thinks uses up part of the
brain each da"y ! Why don't it all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say a month of
brain work ? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
If he builds a little leas than he destroys ,
brain fag and nervous prostration result sure.
If he builds back a little more each day , the
brain grows stronger and more capable. That
also is sure. Where does man get the material
to rebuild his brain ? Is it from air , sky or the
Ice of the Arctic sea ? When you come to
think about it , the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink.
That also is sure.
Are the brain rebuilding materials found in
all food ? In a good variety but not , in suitable
proportion in all.
To illustrate : we know bones are made large
ly of lime and magnesia taken from food ;
therefore to make healthy bone structure we
must have food containing these things. We
would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make
healthy bone structure in a growing child.
Likewise if we .would feed in a skillful man
ner to insure getting what the brain requires
for strength and rebuilding , we must first know
what the brain is composed of and then select
some article or articles ( there are more than
one ) that contain these elements.
Analysis of brain by an unquestionable
authority , Geoghegan , shows of Mineral Salts ,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined ( Phos
phate of Potash ) 2.91 per cent of the total ,
5.33 of all mineral Salts.
This Is over one-half.
Beaunis , another authority , shows "Phos-

' Worry , anxiety , fear , hate , etc. , etc. , directly

digestive juice of the mouth , and also inter

Therefore , the mental state of the individual

Brain is made of Phosphate of Potash aa
the principal Mineral Salt , added to albumen

Grape-Nuts contain that element as more

than one-half 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.
Nature's way to rebuild is by the use of
food which supplies the things required. Brain
rebuilding material is certainly found in
