Grape-Nuts and Postum, and when
we have declined to hire them to
do this they get waspy and show
their true colors.

many of the questions as well as
ire answers being written by the
aforesaid doctor.
In this column some time ago
appeared the statement: mo, we
cannot recommend the use of
Grape-Nuts for it is nothing but
bread with glucosepoured over it,"
Right then he showed his badge as
a member of the tribe of Ananias.
He may have been a member for
some time before, and so he has
caused these lecturers" to de-

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit n thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any one OF
them, and if there was ever one ounce
Of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our collected wheat and
barley with. little salt and yeast used
in the making of Grape-Nuts, we will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
department and every process. Our fac
tories are so clean that n could, with
good relish, eat a meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en-, are of the highest grade in the state
| of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid in
the state for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture OF
Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills, and there convert
ed into -four. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities of this
-four in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into a general flour
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines, there water, salt and a lit
tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed the proper length of time.
Remember that previous to the barley
having been ground it was passed

| Sugar. 1t can be seen glistening on the
granules of Grape-Huts il held toward
the light, and this sugar is not poured
over or put on the food as these p~cevari-
Gators ignorantly assert. On the con-
trary the sugar exudes from the interior
of each little granule during the process
of manufacture, and reminds one of the
little white particles Of sugar that come

THIRD PASTURE.

Now we come to a frisky lot, the
Labor Union" editors. You know
down in Texas a weed called
LOCO" is sometimes eaten by a
steer and produces a arrangement
of the brain that makes the steer
"batty" or crazy. Many of these
editors are "Locoed" from hate of
anyone who will not instantlyobey
the demands" of a labor union,
anditis the universal habit of such
writers to go straightinto a system
of personal vilification, manufac-
turing any sort of falsehood
through which to venttheir spleen.
We assert that the common citizen
has a right to live and breathe air
without asking permission of the
labor trust and this has brought
down on us the hate of these edi-
tors. When they go far enough
with their libels, is it harsh for us
to get judgment against them and
have our lawyers watch for a
chance to attach money due them
from others? (For they T usual

nority says the evidence is overWlielnl-
ing that the dam will be as firm as the
everlasting hills. The testimony of en-
sineers is quoted to refute the crltl-
cisns of the dam.
A large part of the report Is devoted
to the sea level canal chief in which, it
says, is the problem of controlling the
waters of the Chagres river. This is
done by the construction of several big
dams. but in spite of these said the
minority, current of varying force
would be made in the sea level canal.
Concerning the danger of a lock canal
from malicious mischief and attempted
destruction in time of war, the minority
says there is no reason for supposins
that neutrality will not be accepted
by all nations of faith. 1t is argued
that the sea level canal with its tidal
lock, at Sosa, and its narrow gorge
thru Culebra would offer an excellent
opportunity for destruction by ex-
ploSives. The danger from earth
quakes is not treated as serious one,
the report quoting testimony to show
that earthquakes are not of frequent
occurrence at the isthmus, and tina,
violent earthquakes have never hap

HE DIDN'T EXPLAIN
Senator Morgan Fails to Get Any Sat
sfaction From Witness Cromwell
Relative to Sale of the Canal Prop

Washington, May 29.-William Nell
son Cromwell was before the senate
committee on inter-oceanic canals
today and was examined by Senator
Morgan. under his motion to compel
the witness to answer certain ques
tons relative to sale of the canal
property to the United States. The
examination was begun by Morgan by
calling attention to letter written
by Secretary Taft to Cromwell in
which the former referred TO the wit
ness as having negotiated the sale. L
believe you admitted you negotiated
the sale,' said Morgan.
That is not the question" replied
Cromwell, whereupon he was told to
state the situation himself. Declina-
ton to make any statement was met
by a demand from Morgan, grounded
on the fact that his statement had
been characterized as not accurate.
Cromwell explained that profess
sionally he assisted in negotiations of
the sale, but he was interrupted by
Morgan, who said:
the sale to the government. Is ths,t
correct?"
At this point Senator Hopkins pro-
tested that one witness could not be
compelled TO pass on the accuracy OF
statement made by another wit
ness, that If the witness declared the
statement of Taft incorrect it would
have the effect of impeaching the
secretary.
Entering an emphatic disclaimer of
any such intention, Morgan said that
the thought would not have entered
the mind of any but suspicious ma
ture.
Morgan and Hopkins disputed for
some time the relevancy of the ques-
ton, during which the former re-
marked rather sharply, that he was
not moulding his words to suit Taft or
the senator from Illinois.
Very we'll, then. I insist upon my
objection" said Hopkins.
Il will put the question in any man
ner to suit the delicate sensibilities
of the senator from Illinois," said
Morgan, but he was not compelled to
do so for the reason that the commit
tee upheld the relevancy Of the ques-
ton.
Cromwell said he thought Taft had
used the word negotiated" in the
broad, liberal sense, that while pro-
fessionally he assisted in completion
of the offer Of sale, he had done so
as counsel for New Panama Canal
Company, and at no time as the repre-
sentative of the United States He
declined to enter further into the sub
ject.

Report Not Vet Ready.

Washington, May 29.-The report Of
Messlv. Neill and Reynolds, special
commissioners to president, regarding
their investigation into the sanitary
and other conditions Of the several
packing houses, is being facilitated, but
it was stated today probably it would
not be submitted before Thursday.
Neither Neill or Reynalds will disclose
the nature of their report. But it can
be stated authoritatively it will not
contain affidavits or testimony Of any
kind from any one, but rather will be
complete summary of what they
themselves saw. No additional facts
will develop at the white house today
regarding the Beveridge meat inspec-
tion amendment to the agricultural
appropriation bill. The matter was
discussed briefly at the meeting of
the cabinet, but no definite action was
taken. Pressure is being brought on
western senators and representatives
to secure some notifications of the
amendment in the interest of stock
raisers. It is urged generally that it
is made to safeguard the interests Of
stock men to prevent them from an
noyance and loss of business.

QUESTION BEFORE CONGRESS
Agricultural Appropriation Bill De-

May Be Compelled to Pay Cost of

Washington, May 29-Representa-

president, eff not incompatible with
public interest" to send to the house
at his earliest convenience the reports
of Charles P. Neill and James B. Rey-
nolds, "in connection with their inves-
tigation of the meat trust, stock yards
and meat packing houses at Chicago
and other places, and all data, exhib-
its and correspondence in any way re-
lating TO same" 1t is understood Fin
ley, of South Carolina, will introduce a
similar resolution at the suggestion Of
the minority leader, Williams.
The agricultural appropriation bill,
to which special interest attaches be-
cause of the meat inspection amend
ment placed on it in the senate, is now
before the house committee on agricul-
ture The bill would have been sent
direct to conference yesterday, had not
tine minority leader Williams indicated
he would object to unanimous consent
for such procedure. There will be a
meeting Of the committee before a
conference is asked So far there has
been no request made for hearing on
the part of the packers. 1t is under
stood this request would be granted by
the committee, coupled with the un-
derstanding that if the packers were
heard the committee would desire also
to hear the other side, and this might
necessitate making public the special
reports regarding sanitary conditions,
etc, now in custody of the president.
AS analyzed by members of the COM
mittee. the inspection contains three
new propositions. Inspection of the
product consumed in this country; pro-
vides for sanitary inspection of pack
ing plants, and places the cost of in
spection on the packers.
