COMPROMISE DIFFICULT Sixty-one Railroads and Engineers Are Unable to Agree—Matter of Grave Import Holds Back Both slides to Controversy. Chicago, Dec. 23.—The situation in the wage dispute between the Brother- hood of Locomotive Engineers and sixty-one mill:wide west, north and south of Chicago today became criti- cal, and it was admitted in all quar- ters that a sudden break in the ne- gotiations would not be entirely un- expected. None of the parties to the contro- versy, the board of railway managers, Grand Chief Wren S. Stone of the brotherhood, pr Mediator Charles P. Neill would say anything today touch, Ins on the situation. Elsewhere it was learned that despite the fact that the two parties at issue were only a trifling percentage of the present wage schedule again. each side saw in the efforts of the other matter of grave import, which overshadowed the mere dollars and cents involved and hence each was unwilling to come•farther. It was learned that both sides had *flitted 'floser - ttt—tert wrespremittsw than they were when Mediator Neill was called in. Then the engineers were asking an approximate latease in wages, of 15 per cent and railroads were offering approximately his per 'cent. It wee unofficially admitted today that this difference had been cut more than half. However, the suggestion of the railroads that the whole matter go to arbitration under the Erdman act stirred up new trouble, it was seed. The engineers were said today to be willing for arbitration but only on the existing differences. There is likeli- hood according to unquestionable au- thority of a break In any direction at any time. Personal. Dec. 28 both houses of congress ad journed to Jan. 6, 1911.

The per capita wealth of the Indian is approximately $2,130, that for other Americans Is only a little more than 11.300. The lands owned by the In - dians 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 million& The ranges which they possess support about 500,- 000 sheep and cattle, owned by lessee., bringing in a revenue of more than $272,000 to the various tribes besides providing feed for more than 1,500,000 head of holies, 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.

But 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 Magazine reprints a letter which was sent to the Massa- chusetts cost of living commission. It goes as follows .\It seems to me that the elimination of wiste is nearly impossible in house holds where there are numerous serv- ants; at least, I have found it so, with only One, and the waste rises in geometrical progression with the num- briPgraployed. I have now been doing my own cooking for nearly a year and P -- feed MY family twice as well on about two-thirds the cost A large part of the saving comes in the eco- nomical use of meat. I make, 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 few cold baked beans, with a little tomato and • bit of meat on a -bone, or a little left over gravy, make a soup that all eat with much pleasure and it le so nourishing that It goes far to make the dinner. Most people do not understand how different a soup is when It has simmered a good many hours. The soup ;hat has been boiled fast a etruple of hours will taste flat and uninteresting, whereas the same soup five hours later will have such a delicious blend of flavors that all you know I/ that it is nice without being able to distinguish the ingre- dients. Again it is time that counts. Cooks waste the coffee - and tea hor- ribly. Mix the coffee with cold water the night before with an eggshell and brittle It te a boll in the morning and you do not need a great deal for a good cup of coffee. The tea in the kitchen Is piled into the teapot and thrown out with but little of the good- ness extracted.

Home Thought. \It must have been frightful,\ said Mrs. Bossim to her husband, who was In the earthquake. \Tell me what was your first thought when you awakened in your room at the hotel and beard the alarm.\ \My first thought was of you,\ an- swered Mr. Bossim. \How noble!\ \Yes. First thing I knew, a vase oft the matter caught me on the ear; then a chair whirled in my direction, and when I jumped to the middle of the room four or five books and a framed picture struck me all at once.\ Even after saying that, he affected to wonder what made her so angry for the remainder of the evening—Mack's National Monthly. No Slang for Her. \Slip me a braoe of cackles!\ or- aered the chesty -looking man with a bored air, all he perched on the first stool In the lunchroom. \A what?\ asked the waitress, as she placed a glass of water before him. \Adam and Eve fiat on their backs!

He don't know that they're using plain English now in restaurants.\ All Need the Earth. \There is an Antaeus in every one of us and in the whole of us which needs the earth,\ says Henry Dem- entia 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, unpactivated,.eno mud! . There spoke the real philosopher. We are earth - animals, and we need contact with all the aspects of nature, human nfr ture, and other nature. They who feed wholly on white bread and the tenderloin and the sweetness and light of the best people, art for the art's sake, cannot get phosphates enough and soon deyelop the rickets.

On the morning following his arrival she. tojd .TIBle, the dit.49a colored maid, to taker a-giteber of fresh water to Mr. Firman's room, and to say that Miss Mettle sent him her camplimesits, and that if he wanted a bath, the bathroom was at his Bereft:ie.

Exaggeration. On her arrival in New York Mme. Sara Berlrhardt, replying to a compli- ment on her youthful appearance, said: \The secret of my youth? It is the good God—and then, you know, / work all the time. But I am a great grandmother,\ she continued, thong% dully. \so how can these many cospplianents be true? I am afraid my friends are exaggerating.\ Mme. Berahardt's laugh, spontana ous as a girl's, prompted a chorus of \No not\ \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 as the nurse sug - gested. \Her little charge, • boy of six, begged her to stop a while in a crowd, surrounding an autonlobile 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 hips when he arrived here from Hamburg on the Kaiserin Auguste Vic- toria. In fact, there wILS a aeries of smaller lumps along his spine, much like a motmtain range, as it is present- ed on a baserellef map. The lumps were about the size of good Oregon apples, and as Rosen- berg passed before the immigration looter for observation, the doctor said softly to himself, \See that lump.\ Then he asked Mr. Rosenberg to step aside. \You seem like a healthy man,\ said the doctor, \but I cannot peas you until I know the origin of those lumps on your body.\ \Ah it is not a sick- ness,\ laughed the man from Bavaria. \Those swellings is money.\ Taking off his coat he broke open 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 was go- ing to purchase an apple orchard In Oregon. He was admitted to the country.— New York Tribune, Economy In Art. \Of course,\ said Mr. Sirius Barkers \I want my daughter to have some sort of an artistic education.

Economy. The late former Governor Allen D. Candler of Georgia was famous la the south for his quaint humor. \Governor Candler,\ said a Gaines- ville man, \once abandoned cigars for a pipe at the beginning of the year. He stuck to his resolve till the year's end. Then he was heard to say: \'By actual calculation, I have saved by smoking a pipe instead of cigars this year $208. But where Lif it?'\ Hard on the Mare. Twice, as the bus slowly wended its way up the steep Cumberland Gap, the door at the rear opened and slammed.

New Process of Staining Glass. The art of coloring glass has been lost and refound, jealously guarded and maliciously stolen so many times in the history of civilization that it seems almost Impossible to say asp thing new on glass staining. Yet • process has been discovered for ma king the stained glass used In windows which is • departure from anything known at the present time. What the Venetians and the Phoenicians knew of it we cannot tell.

It was held in his courtroom at night In response te its summons came 117 men and won) , en, some old, some young every one of whom was a victor over some ferns of temptation; an example of what human faith can do to help human weakness to redeem itself and be strong. Each of the company had been cos victed of some first offense against the law, and each had been permitted to go out on parole of future good behavior. Each had kept the faith, The word was as good as • bond. Those who might have gose down ia the straggle had found a way to rise and fight again. They were all able to report good work done and bright prospects ahead. Time was when no one was trusted on his word save men of high degree. Fidelity to parole was deemed a princely virtue. Perhaps it is. There was nothing in Judge Crain'a ramp. Gott to disprove it What About Brain Food? This Question Came Up in the Recent A \Weekly\ printed some criticisms of the claims made for our foods. It evidently did not fancy our reply printed In various news- papers, 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 au- thority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts, Phosphorio Acid and Potash combined (Phos- phate, of Potash), 2.91 per cent of the total, 6.83 of all Mineral Salts. This is over one-half. Beaunis, another authority, shows /Phos- phoric Acid combined\ and Potash 73.44 per cent from a total of 101.07. Conefderable 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 con- stituent elements of the body, says: \The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell -salt, 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 Potas- sium Phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by Its own Trial for Libel. law of affinity, all thins needed to manufao- ture the elixir of life.\ Further on he says: \The beginning and end of the matter Is to supply the lacking princi- ple, 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 -building. In the trial a sneer was uttered because Mr. Post announced that le had made years of re- search in this country and some clinics of Europe, regarding the effect of the mind on digestion of food. But we must be patient with those who sneer at facts they know nothing abouL Mind does not work well on a brain that is broken down by lack of nourishment A peaceful and evenly poised mind is neces- miry to good digestion. Worry, anxiety, fear, bate, &c., Ac., directly Interfere with or stop the flow of Ptyalin, the digestive juice of the mouth, and also inter - fen 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 Is made of Phorphate of Potash as the principal Mineral Salt, added to albu- men and water. That Grape -Nuts contains that element as more than one-half of all IM 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 pert which some folks believe linka 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 thins required. \There's a Reason\ Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek. Mich.
