The ''Yell- oh" Man
And One of His Ways.

To call man q liar seems rude, sc
we will let the reader select his own
term.
Sometime ago the Manager Of "Col'
lier's Weekly got very cross with us
because we would not continue to ad
yertise In his paper.
We have occasionally been attacked
by editors who have tried to force us
to advertise in their papers at their
own prices, and, on their own condi.
tions, failing In which we were to be
attacked through their editorial col.
umns. The reader can At name to
that tribe
We had understood that the editor
OF Golfers" was a wild cat of the Sin.
clair Jungle bungle" type, person
with curdled gray matter. but 1t seems
strange that the owners would des-
cend to using their editorial columns
yellow as they are, for such rank out
and out falsehoods as appear in their
issue Of July 27th, where the editor
goes out of his way to attack us, and
the reason will appear tolerably clear
TO any reader who understands the
venom behind 1t.
We quote In part as follows:-"one
widely circulated paragraph labors 70
induce the impression THAR Grape
Nuts will obviate the necessity OF an
operation in appendicitis. This is ly-
ing, and, potentially. deadly lying. Sim.
ilarly, Postum continually makes ref
erence TO the endorsements OF "a
distinguished physician" or "a proni.
nent health official" persons as myth.
cal doubtless, as they are mysterious" :"
We do not hesitate to reproduce
these mendacious falsehoods In order
that II may be made clear TO the pub
lie what the facts are, and to nail the
liar up so that people may have q
look at him. II this poor clown knew
what produced appendicitis he might
have some knowledge OF why the use
of Grape-Nuts would prevent II. Let II
be understood that appendicitis re-
suits from long continued disturbance
In the intestines, caused primarily by
undigested food, such as white bread,
potatoes. rice. partly cooked cereals,
and such. These lie in the warmth
and moisture of the bowels in an un-
digested state. and decay, generating
gases, and irritating the mucous sur.
faces until, under such conditions, the
lower part Of the colon and the ap
pendix become involved. Disease sets
up. and frequently, of form known
as appendicitis.
Now then, Grape-Nuts food was
made by Mr. c. w. Post, after he had
an attack OF appendicitis, and requlG-
ed some food in which the starch was
predigested. No such food existed;
from his knowledge OF dietetics ne per.
fected the food; made It primarily for
his own use, and afterwards introduc.
ID II to the public. In this food the
starch Is transformed by moisture and |
longtime cooking into form OF sugar, !
which Is easily digested and does not |
iecay in the intestlnes. II is a prac.
ical certainty that when a man has !
approaching symptoms of appendicitis
he attack can be avoided by dis
all food except Grape-Nuts,
md by properly washing out the intes-
ines. Most physicians are now ac-
luainted with the facts, and will verify
he statement.
OF course, this is all news, and
hould be an education to the person
Who writes the editorials for "Col-
ler's." and who should take at least
ONE training before he undertakes
o write for the public.
Now as to the reference to "a dis
inguished physician" or "a prominent
ealth official" being mythical per-
ons." We are here 10 wager "Col.
les Weekly" or any other skeptic

are TO name. and which they will

ave never yet published an advertise
