Grape-Nuts. 1t is true that these ar.
ticles are spoken Of here in public
manner, but they are used as Illus
trations of manufacturer seeking
by example, printing CH--each pkg. a
truthful, exact statement of inMedl-
ents, to shame other makers into DONG
the fair thing by the common peoples
and establishing an era Of pure food,
but that procedure has not yet forced
those who adulterate and deceive to
change their methods hence this ef-
fort to arouse public sentiment and
show way ont of the present condl-
ton of fraud. deceit and harm.
The undersigned is paying to the
publishers of America about S2O,O00.OO
to print this announcement In practi-
cally all of the great papers and mag
azines. in the conduct of what he
chooses to term, IAN educational cam
paign." esteemed to be Of greater d.
rect value to the people than the
establishment of many libraries. That
is held to be worthy method of
using money for the public good. Tell
the people facts. show them a way to
HELM Themselves and rely upon them
to act intellIgently and effectively:
The reader will be freely forgiven il
he entirely forgets the reference to
Postum and Grape-Nuts, If he will but
join the pure food movement and do
things.

NEW FOODLAW

People now demand the right to
know exactly what they eat.
To be told by maker or retailer that
the food Is pure" is not satisfactory.
Candy may contain pure" white clay
or pure" dyes and yet be very harm
full. Syrups may contain pure" glu-
cOse and yet be quite digestible and
even beneficial. Tomato catsup may
contain small amount of sallcylic or
boracic acid as necessary preserva-
tive, which may agree with one and be
harmful to another.
Wheat flour may contain portion of
corn flour and really be improved.
Olive oil may be made of cotton seed
oil. Butter may contain beef suet and
yet he nutritious.
The person who buys and eats must
protect himself and family. and he has
right to, and now demands. a law
under which he can make intelligent

Solomon's seal was another Of the
wonder working plants, said to be the
herb which Solomon used to cure cpl
lepsy by placing 1t in a ring applied to
the nostrils of the patient, from which
circumstance arose the popularity of
the magical ring or seal that figures in
so many eastern tales.
Curious stories are told of the man.

fruit of which used to be called the
''love apple" "a name later applied to
the tomato), no doubt because TO eat of
it generously produced temporary in
sanity. 1t was much used In love phil
tiers to awaken the tender passion, and
the most efficacious specimens were
obtained from the vicinity of gibbets,
where evil doors swung by the neck.
There was but one way to gather the
mandrake, under pain of death for mis-
take, since the belief was that 1t groan-
ed aloud when pulled from the ground
and that whoever heard the sound fell
dead on the spot. The custom was to
and beat him until In his struggles he
tore up the mandrake by the roots:
The person experimenting the opera
ton had his ears stopped with pitch
and so escaped, but the dog, for which
the same precaution was not taken,
heard the groan and died.
Extraordinary cures were accom-
plished by some familiar flowers in the
olden times. The anemone was thought
by the ancients to be an emblem of
disease, and Pliny says that physicians
recommended that the first anemone
seen in the spring should be picked and
concealed in a scarlet cloth until sick
ness came, requiring that 1t should be
hung around the neck. The juice of the
forgetmenot was credited with the
power of hardening steel until no met
al could resist it. The peony was used
by Paeon, the famous physician of an
cient Greece, from whom it takes its
name, to cure wounds. Demons were
supposed always to flee from the spot
where it grew.
The elder tree also had some remark
able properties. An old writer declares
that IF one travel with two little

GROWING PAINS.
Aches In Children That Should Re
ceive Serious Attention.

Aches In Children That Should Re-
ceive Serious Attention.
The evil that may be caused by q
phrase is well exemplified by the term
growing pains" Many a cripple to-
day owes his misfortune to the fact
that the first symptoms of his disease
were misinterpreted. The recurring
pains of which he complained, which
caused him to limp at times or to cry
out in his sleep, were called by his
parents growing pains and were
thought to signify nothing more than
the effort of nature to adjust the grow
ing bones and muscles and sinews to
each other.
OF course every child has innumera-
BILE little aches and pains, the result of
fatigue, slight sprains, stone bruises
and the like, and it is well the fond par
ents should not take too much notice
of them, lest they foster a disposition
in the child to worry over illnesses.
The cause of such occasional pains is
usually apparent, and q nights rest
or day in the house will dispel it. But
when the pain recurs from time to time
without evident cause, or when ordi-
nary romping during the day is fol-
lowed by Il night of aching, and per-
haps limp for a day or two, it is pos
sible that there is some serious under.
lying cause and the family physician
should be consulted.
Frequent complaint of pain in the
knee. is one of the signs of beginning
hip disease, but examination shows the
knee to be apparently sound, and so
the home diagnosis of growing pains
is made, and the real trouble in the
hip is overlooked. often until it is too
late to prevent permanent lameness.
Although not called growing pains,
repeated attacks of stomach ache in
children should not be sighted, for
they may be a symptom of early spinal
disease. The complaint of pain in the
