The cornerstone Of the new Catholic chapel on
BlackweIs Island was laid yesterday afternoon by
Thomas A Cusack auxiliary bishop OF New York.
Heretofore the two thousand Roman Catholic in
mates of the island have had TO climb old ricxety
stairs TO attend worship. The one object in the
designing of the chapel was TO have 1t meet the
requirements of the crippled and infrm.
AFTER the religious ceremonies John 5. Whalen,
Secretary of State of New York, delivered an ad-

"BOO-HOO"
Shouts q Spanked Baby.

We leave 1t to the public now, as we did
when we first resented Golfers attacks, to say
whether, in a craving for sensation and circula-
tOn, its attacks do not amount to q systematic
mercenary bounding. We likewise leave it TO
the public to say whether Golfers by its own
policy and methods, has not made itself more
ridiculous than anv comment of ours could
make it.
Does Golfers expect to regain any sef-in-
ficted loss of prestige by demonstrating thru
suits for damages, that it can be more artful in
evadng liability for libels than the humble but
resentful victims Of It's defamation, or does it
hope by starting a campaign of libel suits to
silence the popular Indignation. reproach and
resentment which it has aroused
Golfers can not dodge this public controversy
by private law suits. It can not postpone the
public judgment against 1t. That great jury,
the Public, will hardly blame lis for not waiting
until we get a petit jury in court room, be-
fore denOuncing this prodigal detractor Of in
stitutions founded and fostered either by indi
viduals or by the public itself
No announcements during our entire business
career were ever made claiming medicinal
effects" for either Postum or Grape-Nuts

Thousands of visitors go thru our entire
works each month and see for themselves that
Grape-Nuts contains absolutely nothing but
wheat, barley and little salt: Postum abso-
lutely nothing but wheat and about ten percent
Of New Orleans molasses. The art of preparing
these simple elements in a scientific manner to
obtain the best food value and favour, required
some work and experience TO acquire.
Now, when any publication goes far enough
out of its way to attack us because our adver
tising is medical" 1t simply offers Il remark
able exhibition of ignorance or worse.
We do claim physiological or bodily results Of
favorable character following the adoption of
our suggestions regarding the diScontnuance of
coffee and foods which may not be keeping the
individual in good health We have no advice
TO offer the perfectly healthfu person His or
her health is evidence in itself that the bev-
erages and foods used exactly it that person.
Therefore. why change?
But To the man or woman who is ailing we
have something to say a result of an unusu-
ally wide experience in food and the result of
proper feeding.
In the palpably ignorant attack on us in
Golfers, appeared this statement-"One widely
circulated paragraph Iabors to induce the i'm
preston that Grape-Nuts will obviate the neces-
sity Of an operation in appendicitis. This is
lying and potentially deadly lying.r

the controversy between Golfers Weekly and
the Religious Press Of the Country and Others

These are his sentiments, with some very
emphatic words left out
"The religious Press owes you debt Of graft

Here is a publication which has. in utmost
