The blood is enriched by ce rtain m in erals in our food, beyond q u es tion. I m ention Lime. (Calcium ) P otassium , Iro n and Iodine as am ong those of first im portance. These m in erals abound in earth , and are taken up by p lan ts w hich grow everyw here in th e soil. Food- an im als get th e m in erals by eating th e p lan ts, and sto re them in th e red m uscles, such as o u r beef steak s, ham s and m utton-chops. Our anim al and p lan t foods a re rich e r in m in eral co n ten t when they a re grow n on the low er levels of soil. T he h ills lose co n tin u ally th e ir m in erals by rain fall and d rainage, so th a t hill-grow n a n i m als and p la n ts a re poorer in m in era l values» T he chief value of th e m in erals is in tli«j grow th of bone In c h il dren, p a rtic u la rly the teeth . The m ilk of a cow grazin g in th e hills is m uch poorer food for th e child th a n from a cow th a t fatten s on valley food.

Word has been received th a t Mrs. Heden is on her way from S acram ento to atten d th e fu n eral CONSIDER THE BACKGROUND. I By Dr. F ra n k Crane) Behind every mind is a b ack ground. Behind every overt deed and spoken word flow a m ass of feefln g s, im p u lses, and ideas from w hich these concrete th in g s are chosen. Men a re hang« d and otherw ise punished for th e actual deeds they accom plish: a more ju st method of judging hum anity would be to take into consideration the whole background. Nobody cun do th is hut tlie God who m ade men, and hence it is said th a t his th o u g h ts are not as o u r thoughts. And th a t is the reason why p e r fect ju stice can be m eted o u t only at the judgm ent seat on th e last day. W hat a stran g e region is tills background of one’s self! T here flow’ w hat stran g e ghost faces and inchoate deeds! W hat gusts of feeling, w hat stream s of tendency, w hat lurking, buried seeds of hereditam ent ! A ce rtain p a rt of us is known to the - w orld and we consider th a t p art to be ourselves, b ut »behind th is th e re is an o th er part, out of which the visable Is created. Wild and sa ty r like lusts, holy longings, prickings of conscience, bonds of obligation, rem orseful faces from th e past, rosy plans for the fu tu re all m ingle in the stra n g e p h an tasm ag o ria behind the soul. * G reater th an any m usic th a t W agner ever composed is th e m u sic th a t he dream ed, b ut could not express. G reater th an any speech th a t a gifted o rato r has m ade are the speeches he th o u g h t of, but never made. G reater th an any love which a m an has expressed is th a t reserv o ir of love w ithin him th a t has never been able to find ex pression. If we would know a man througfi and th ro u g h , th erefo re, we m ust not only know what he th in k s and says overtly, but we m ust bore th ro u g h the c ru st of th is into those w ells of feeling w hich have never come to th e surface. P robably th e background of any saint is as had as th a t of any sin ner, and possibly th e background of a m u rd er m ight be as pure and holy as th a t of any of us. As B urns has said : W h a t's done we p a rtly m ay com pute. But know not w h a t’s resisted." In su ra n ce funds for farm loans. No com m ission or brokerage. Very easy term s. B. W.
