property shrivel and fade away. L am not
going TO review all Of the reasons or the
causes, yet l will say that much of their
apprehension is due to expected hostile leg
islation. And this bill is fair example of
it. 1t is more drastic and revolutionary in
many of its features than has been passed
in any other state jurisdiction, even in the
rabid west and south. There is no reason
why this bill should be rushed through The
interests involved require careful delibera-
ton. This is the Empire state. Conserya-
tiSm should mark our action. Congress
gave six months consideration to the rate
bill. We should go slow. The railroads
need money badly now to carry out needed
improvements in New York city. This bill
might stop them. The commissioners should
not be removable at will. We may not al
ways have a Hughes for governor. In case
of removal and a hostile senate the men,
bershfp of the commission might become
vacant as there is no provision in the bill
to provide for such an emergency. i be-
lieve the governor should appoint the COM
missioners, but they should only be re-
moved on charges by the senate and the
governor.

Garabat, who is an Armenian, set the

A well known professor remarks that the

cooked cereals and such.
Starchy food Is not digested in the
upper stomach, but passes on into the
duodenum, or lower stomach and in
testines, where, in a healthy individual,
the transformation of the starch into a
form Of sugar is completed and then
the food absorbed by the blood.
But If the powers of digestion are
weakened, a part of the starchy food
will lie in the warmth and moisture of
the body and decay, generating gases
and irritating the mucous surfaces I'M
til under such conditions the whole low
or part Of the alimentary canal, includ-
ing the colon and the appendix, be-
comes involved. Disease sets up and
at times takes the form known as APP
pendicitis.
When the symptoms Of the trouble
make their appearance, would it not be
good, practical, common sense, to dis
continue the starchy food which is
causing the trouble and take q food in
which the starch has been transformed
into a form of sugar In the process of
manufacture?
This is identically the same form of
sugar found In the human body after
starch has been per- W digested.
Now, human food Is made up very
largely Of starch and is required by the
body for energy and warmth. Natural
ly, therefore. It's use should be contin-
ued, If possible, and for the reasons
given above it is made possible in the
manufacture of Grape-Nuts.
In connection with this change OF
food to bring relief from physical dis
turbances, we have suggested washing
out the intestines to get rid of the i'm
mediate cause of the disturbance.
Naturally, there are cases where the
disease has lain dormant and the abuse
continued too long, until apparently
only the knife will avail. But IL is a
well-established fact among the best
physicians who are acquainted with the
details above recited. that preventative
measures are far and away the best.
Are we to be condemned for suggest
ing a way to prevent disease by fol-
lowing natural methods and for per-
fecting a food that contains no 'medi-
