PILGRIM is ROBBED
SIugged in the Very Center of
City and His Money Taken

John Skinner, of Casselton, N D., was
slugged and robbed of over $3.50 in an alley
near the corner of First avenue south and
Third street last night Skinner was so
badly injured that it was necessary to
take him to the city hospital in order that
the surgeons might take some stitches to
close the wound
The man came to Minneapolis a few
days ago for the purpose of securing an
artificial limb, and while here stopped
with friend who had preceded him to the
city, He took a few drinks Of Washing
ton avenue whisky and then went out to
see the town.
He had the money when he left his
room, and it was only short time later
that he was found in the alley and his
money was missing
Later in the evening Detective De Iait-
tire and two policemen brought SINNERS
companion and woman to the central po-
lice station and they were questioned by
Chief Doyle, who released them after tax
ing their names and informing them that
under the new system of censorship of
police news nothing about the affair would
appear In the public prints.
The chief and the detectives are exer-
cised over this first holdup under the new
administration and profess to believe that
the man fell and cut his face and was not
held up and robbed in the center of the
city although someone took his money
Why, he had no snow on his back and
his face was full of sand," was the ex-
planation given by an astute detective who
expects to hold his place on the depart
ment because Of family and political in
fiuence

the concert on Saturday, the day be-.
fore Christmas
It was a week ago Saturday that Mr.,
Thomas first felt the aiInent which
eliminated in his death. Apparently
the trouble was only a slight touch OF
the grip. Last Thursday however,
pneumonia developed. Saturday his
condition was grave. Sunday he i'm
proved and Monday the physicians felt
hopeful OF a recovery. Last evening,
while Mr.. Thomas was sanguine, as
usual, there suddenly occurred a
change for the worse. Without a note
of warning severe chill seized the,
patient. Although there was a slight
rally, he was never again conscious.
Death was so peaceful the watchers
did not know the exact moment. Burial
services will probably be held next
Friday in st. James Episcopal church.

THE POST DISCOVERY
A Revelation in Human Food

Previous to the discovery of the Post
process of changing the starchy part
of wheat and barley into form of.
sugar, many people suffered from what
is known as starch indigestion.
That was shown by gas and all sorts
of stomach and bowel trouble (some-
times ending in appendicitis), brought
on by the undigested starch in wheat,
oats. white bread, cake, puddings, ETC..
etc.
Nature ultimately Furnishes anyone
who continually takes some medicine
or drug to smooth over or nullify bad
conditions of the body. The only safe
way to cure such is to correct or re-
move the cause. Therefore it was
plain to Mr.. Post, in working out his
discov cry, that people who show some
weakness IN digesting the starchy part
of food (Which is much the largest
part Of all we eat) must be helped by
having the starch digested or trans
formed before being eaten. And, of
course, the safest and truest way to do
this would be to initiate nature and
avoid all chemicals or outside and un-
natural things. The body digests the
starchy food by the following process:
First it is mixed with the moisture
or juices of the mouth and stomach:
then warmth or mild heat from, the
body grows or develops diastase from
the grain. Time is also an important
element, and when all work togethe.
and the human organs operate prop
erly the starch is slowly turned into
form of sugar, as it must be before the
blood will absorb it and carry the need
ed energy to different parts of the
body OF course if the body fails to
do its work perfectly trouble sets in
So in the making of the famous food.
Gfape-Nuts, moisture, warmth and
time are the only things used to turn
starch into sugar, thus initiating nature
and keeping the human food in original
purity, free from outside things and,
just as Mother Nature intends it shall
be kept for advantageous use by her
children. The food is fully cooked at
the factories, and is crisp and delicious
with little thick cream poured over.
It can be softened for people with
weak teeth, but is most valuable to
others when it must be energetically
chewed, thus bringing down the saliva
from the gums to go to the stomach
and help digest the entire meal be-
sides the use OF the teeth strengthens
and preserves them. Nature blesses
the parts of the body that are used
and not abused. Grape Nuts food
brings peace, health and comfort When
people are in despair from the ails re-.
sulting from undigested food
