Mayor To Work In Streets Head of Cincinnati Has Unique Plan f for Knowing His Town and Pub- t lic Servants. o t Cincinnati, O.-Mayor Henry T. E Hunt of this city proposes to familiar- 1 ize himself with the various public service departments in a decidedly novel manner. The mayor will make a most sweeping investigation or in spection, not as a mere onlooker and recipient of information such as his subordinates may be able to tell him, but will mingle in person with the la borers of the street and the many other employes of this city. Mayor Hunt characterizes it as more of a quest for departmental experience than inspection. Cincinnati's chief executive will don the garb of the laborer and try from a day to a week at the job of clean ing the streets, answering the ring of the fire gong, passing a day or so tat each of the police district station 'houses and make the rounds with the captain and corporal, as well as a night on a "beat." Mayor Hunt will begin with the street cleaning department by pass ing a day or so touring the streets with Superintendent Marschheuser. Then will follow the actual work of sitting in the midnight hours on the 4 seats of the water wagon and sweep ers. Following this the mayor will don the garb of the "white wings" and t assist in sweeping refuse from the thoroughfares. He will even go so 3 far as to try his hand at drivingg one of the ash carts. Other departments ifollow, such as passing a week in the be able to rise to the level of the re spected or progressive nation.

"Great Paul," the bell of St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, weighs nearly 17 tons and is nearly 30 feet around. The first "Big Ben" of Westminster was cast more than 50 years ago and weighed more than 14 tons. But "Big Ben" had a crack and was cast over, losing some weight, and the clapper was made smaller, now being about 600 pounds instead of a ton. The great bell, "Peter of York," cost $10, 000, weighs about 13 tons and is 22 feet in diameter. The largest hanging bell in the world is in the great Buddhist monas tery near Canton. It is 18 feet in height and 40 feet in circumference, being cast of solid bronze. This is one of the eight monster bells that were cast by command of Emperor Yung t Lo about A. D. 1400. It cost the lives r of eight men, who were killed in the process of casting. Surgeon in Ancient Times. I High honorariums were paid sur geons in ancient times.

If You Like a Little Quiet Fun Ask some pompous person if Grape-Nuts Food helps build the brain. Chances are you get a withering sneer and a hiss of denunciation. ,Then sweetly play with the learned toad. Ask him to tell you the analysis of brain material and the analysis of Grape-Nuts. "Don't know? Why, I supposed you based your opinions on exact knowledge instead of pushing out a conclusion like you would a sneeze. "Well, now your tire is punctured, let's sit down like good friends and repair it":' The bulky materials of brain are water and albumin, but these things cannot blend without a little worker known as Phosphate of Potash, defined as a "mineral salt." One authority, Geohegan, shows in his analysis of brain, 5.33 per cent total of mineral salts, over one-hal being Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined, (Phosphate of Potash) 2.91 per cent. Beaunis, another authority, shows Phosphoric Acid and Potash (Phosphate of Potash) more than one-half the total mineral salts, being 73.44 per cent in a total of 101.07. Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows Potassium and Phos phorus (which join and make Phosphate of Potash) is considerable more than one-half of all the mineral salts in the food. ( Dr. Geo.W. Carey, an authrity on the constituent elements of the body, says: "The gray iUtter of the brain i controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate (Phosphate of Potash). This salt unites with albumin 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 furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies-this is the only law of cure." Brain is made of Phosphate of Potash as the principal Mineral Salt, added to albumin and water. Grape-Nuts contains that element as more than one-half of all its mineral salts. Every day's use of brain wears away a little. Suppose your kind of food does not contain Phosphate of Potash. How are you going to rebuild today the worn-out parts of yesterday? And if you don't, why shouldn't nervous prostration and brain-fag result? Remember, Mind does not,, work well on a brain that is even partly broken dow from lack of nourishment. .- ' It is true that other food besides Grape-Nuts contais varying quantities of Brain Plain wheat and barley do. But in Grape-Nuts there is a certainty. And if the elements demanded by Nature, are eaten, the life forces had the needed material to build from. 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 hi0s 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 . a healthy brain and renew it day by day as it is used up from work of the previous Nature's way to rebuild is by the use of food which supplies the things required.
