LANSOON ON GRILL
Idaho Secretary of State Re
fuses Military Inquiry.
MOVE CALLED POLITICAL
Office of Colonel in National Guard
Attacked, but Opening Encounter
I Won hj Officer Through
Court Ruling.
BOISE. Idaho. Dec 16. (Special.)
Secretary of State 1-anadon. Colonel In
the Second Infantry. Idaho National
Guard, must either appear before a board
of Inquiry and answer questions or
military nature or be ousted from orrice
of Colonel.
'Colonel Bob," as Lansdon Is familiarly
known In the Guard, has persistently re
fused to go before the board or inquiry.
Instead he went Into the District Court,
where he secured a restraining order
which he aerved upon Governor Brady,
Commarider-ln-Chlef of the Guard, re
straining him or the Adjutant-General
from proceeding wltn tne examination
until sufficient time had been given him
to prepare his defense.
The question of the Jurisdiction or the
Ada County District Court In Issuing;
restraining order to prevent, action on
the part of the military board of Inquiry
has been referred to the Attorney-uen
eral of the state. The Governor and the
Adjutant-General declare that the Dis
trict Court has no jurisdiction over the
National Guard or regular Army of the
United States, of which the Idaho Guard
la part.
Official orders, circulars and letters, as
shown by the records In the office of tne
militia department are Intended to prove
that "Colonel Bob La nod on has ignored
the United States Government's require
ments of study of National Guard offi
cers, has neglected to answer communi
cations from the department at various
times, haa failed to return notice that
he haa received textbooks and maps fur
nished for study, and has finally capped
the climax by refusing outright to sub
mit to examination by a board of offi
cers appointed by Governor Brady, ac
cording to the statement made by Adju
tant-General Rowe.
Colonel Lansdon's attempt to evade
the examination will result In a failure."
said Adjutant-General Rowe. "Lansdon's
efforts to avert being ousted from his of
fice as Colonel by appealing to the courts
for naught. The courts or this country
have always held that an executive can
not be restrained."
It Is the contention of Lansdon and his
friends that the attempt to disgrace him
in the Idaho National Guard is purely a
political move on the part of Governor
Brady due to the fact that he. Lansdon,
had always opposed the present Chief
Executive and was one of his bitterest
political enemies during the recent elec
tion.

RESCUERS FACE BAR
Little Hope for Men Entombed
in Leyden Mine.
SLIGHT PROGRESS MADE
Labor Commissioner Tells of Lack
of Effort to Make Workers Safe
and Says He Gave "Warnings
Long Before Accident.
DENVER. Dec 16. Bad air . and, the
great quantity of debris from fallen roof
and wa-'ls m the Leyden coal mine, where
ten men are entombed as a result of
the fire which, broke out Wednesday
night, checked the progress of rescuers
today and the party covered little more
than 500 feet of the two and a half miles
of dislaL-ce from the bottom of shaft No.
l'to the spot where the imprisoned men
are supposed to be. It is believed to be
physically ".mposMble for the rescuers
to reach the men before tomorrow, if
then, and slight hope Is entertained that
the men will be found alive.
Today ihe rescue party, headed by Pro
fessor J. C. Roberts in charge of the
Government rescue car, encountered a
number of dead mules and It was neces
sary to remove the carcasses and dispose
of the sickening stench before further
progress could ha made. Later great
mass3s of debris, almost filling the sev
enth level, had to be attacked and the
removal of enough of this wreckage to
permit of a passage required hours.
Labor Commissioner Brake, the duties
of whose office call for Investigation of
all mine . disasters, today gave out
an interview, in which he as
serts that there was little or no at
tempt made to make the Leyden mine
safe. He said- that two weeks ago the
company officials notlaed him that they
were going to install a fan in the workings.
Commissioner Brake said he suggested
that the mine be shut down while the
fan was being placed, but company offi
cials did not aDDivvj of this, saying that
the prorerty could be worked while the
fan was being placed.

ABOUT OYSTERS
The press recently has severely criticised the nse of oysters gen
erally, stating that they contained germs and were almost as a whole
dangerous.
"While the growth and development close to large cities is to ha
watched especially if the season is extremely dry, for the drainage is
not properly carried off, owing to scarcity of water in the streams.
This is true of a great number of oyster beds in Long Island, close to
New York City.
The New York State Board 'will not permit oysters to be sold in
the cafes unless the. management has a large notice to the publio
stating -where the oysters were grown, and certified by tho authorities.
The law is strictly carried ont, but they cannot enforce it against
shipments of bulk oysters, sometimes shipped West in car lots that
is, the authorities have not enough employes to watch such grower
day and night.-
As the oyster is a delicious morsel, easily digested, it is no won
der that, in season, they are in demand. Now for a broad, nncontra
dictory statement: For a juicy, tender, delicious flavor, tho TOKR
POINT OYSTER has no peer. East or West. Our beds are situated
miles from any living habitation, where the water has a natural and
continuous circulation that fattens and develops the oysters. Facts
talk see what they say what the chairman of the State Board of
Health savs under date Sept. 6, 1910;
"Mr. Gardiner, Mgr. Toke Point Oyster Co., South Bend, 'Wash.
"All the samples taken by yourself, Mr. Stuart and Mr. Combs from
the oyster beds of your company have been found absolutely pure and
free from contamination.

This Question Came Up
Trial for Libel.
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
newspapers, and brought suit for libeL At the trial some inter
esting facts came out.
Some oi the chemical and medical experts differed widely.
The following facts, however, were quite clearly established:
Analysis of brain by an unquestionable authority, Geoghegan,
shows of Mineral Salts, Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined
(Phosphate of Potash), 2.91 per cent of the total, 5.33 of all Mineral
Salts.
This is over one-half
Eeaunis, another authority, shows "Phosphoric Acid com
bined" and Potash 73.44 per cent from a total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-half of Phosphate of Potash.
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium and Phosphorus,
(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 authority on the constituent elements
of the body, says: "The gray matter of the brain is controlled en
tirely 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 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."
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 ele
ment, 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 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 be patient with" those who sneer at facts they
know nothing about. : i; :-fy i
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 diges
tion. 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 is made of Phosphate of Potash as the principal
Mineral Salt, added to albumen and water.
That Grape-Nuts contains 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 un
derstood 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.
