A Definition of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien-
lists and the exponents of unbelief
benefited themselves or humanity at
large by sowing the seeds of doubt
broadcast in the world? The real sci
entists do not fall in this category, for
they are believers in the real sense of
the word; they know too much, they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations of the Divine creative pow
er. Now, those who have disposed of
the Bible and all evidences of inspira-
tion, have written a great many books
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame Ac-
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful. but real
success means the benefit Of human
ity in some form or other. II no such
benefits can be shown as the result of
their labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel
Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine.

BeIlinu a Rat,

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid house of
rats is to catch one and fasten bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast, but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling of that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place, the rat who wore it
was constantly on the move all night,
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house. Instead of being afraid of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu-
sic. Had the boy tied harmonica
to another rats tail, the rodents would
have had dance every night.

WHEN A "HUNcH" HELD GOOD.
Chinese Laundry Ticket Suggested a
Bet on wing Ting"

Kay Spence, a well-known horseman
Of Mexico, Mo-, won $1,000 at the
Louisville, KY, race meeting short
time ago as the result of "hunch."
Mr.. Spence has a large breeding
stable of runners" near Mexico, and
attends all the big racing events in
the country. Not long since he was
in Louisville and entered the betting
ring to see what odds were being Of
fered on the various entries. He
found that Joaquin was the favorite
at even money, and pulled his wallet
from his pocket, intending to bet on
that horse. His attention was at
tracted by something that fell from
his wallet to the ground, and he stoop-
ed and picked it up. 1t was Chi.
nese laundry ticket. He looked at
the books again and found that there
was an entry with a Chinese name,
Wing Ting. at ten to one. That set
tied it, for he considered he had re-
ceived "hunch' that could not be
overlooked. Wing Ting won handily.
Needless to say, those who backed the
favorite considered Spence the sew

"BOO-HOO"
Shouts a Spanked Baby.

DDS, has not made itself more ridicu
lous than any comment of ours coulC
make it.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
Self-inflicted loss of prestige by de
monstrating thru suits for damages
that it can be more artful in evadine
liability for libels than the humble
but resentful victims Of It's defamation
or does it hope for starting campaign
of libel suits to silence the popular in
dignation, reproach and resentment
which it has aroused.
Golfers can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. II
can not postpone the public judgment
against it. That great jury, the Pub
lie, will hardly blame us for not wait
ing until We get petit jury in a court
room, before denouncing this prod
igal detractor of institutions founded
and fostered either by individuals OF
by the public, itself.
No announcements during our entire
business career were ever made
claiming medicinal effects" for either
Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal eff
fects are results obtained from the
use of medicines.
Thousands of visitors go thru our
entire works each month and see for
themselves that Grape-Nuts contains
absolutely nothing but wheat, barley
and a little salt; Postum absolutely
nothing but wheat and about ten per-
cent of New Orleans Molasses. The
art of preparing these simple ele-
ments in q scientific manner to obtain
the best food value and flavor, re-
quired some work and experience to
acquire.
Now, when any publication goes far
enough out of its way to attack us be-
cause our advertising is medical" it
simply offers remarkable exhibition
of ignorance or worse.
We do claim physiological or bodily
results of favorable character follow
ing the adoption of our suggestions re-
garding the discontinuance of coffee
and foods which may not be keeping
the individual in good health. We
have no advice to offer the perfectly
healthful person. His or her health
is evidence in itself that the bever-
ages and foods used exactly fit that
person. Therefore, why change?
But to the man or woman who is
ailing, we have something to say as a
result of an unusually wide experience
in food and the result of proper feed
ing.
In the palpably ignorant attack on
us in Golfers, appeared this state
ment,-"One widely circulated para
graph labors to induce the impression
that Grape-Nuts will obviate the ne
cessity of an operation in appendi-
citis. This is lying and potentially
deadly lying"

A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of
a well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-
tween Golfers Weekly and the Re-
ligious Press of the Country and 9TH
ers, including ourselves. Also regard
ing suits for libel brought by Golfers
against us for commenting upon its
methods.
These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.
"The religious Press owes you q
debt of gratitude for your courage in
showing up Golfers Weekly as the
"YellOh Man" Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the boo
Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Mans
successor?"
"a contemporary remarks that Col
liers has finally run against solid
hickory Post" and been damaged in
its own estimation to the tune of
$750,00000."
Here is publication which has, in
utmost disregard of the facts, spread
broadcast damaging statements about
the Religious Press and others and
has suffered those false statements to
go uncontradicted until, not satisfied
after finding the Religious Press too
quiet, and peaceful, to resent the in
suits, 1t makes the mistake of wander
ing into fresh field and butts its rat
tied head against this Post and all the
World laughs. Even Christians smile,
as the Post suddenly turns and gives
1t back dose of it's own medicine"
1T Is mistake to say all the World
laughs. No CHEEKY laugh comes from
Golfers, but it cries and boo hoos like
spanked baby and wants $750,000.00
to soothe it's tender, lacerated feel
ings.''
Thank Heaven 1t has at last struck
a man with back bone' enough to call
a spade spade" and who believes in
telling the whole truth without fear or
favor"
Perhaps Golfers with it's utmost
disregard for the facts" may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless 1t is
on file in our Office and is only one of
mass of letters and other data, news
paper comments, etc, denouncing the
yellow" methods of Golfers. This
volume Is so large that man could
not well go thru it under half days
steady work. The letters come from
various parts of America.
Usually private controversy is not
interesting to the public, but this is a
public controversy.
Golfers has been using the yellow"
methods to attract attention to itself,
but, jumping in the air, cracking heels
together and yelling Look at me"
wouldn't suffice, so it started out on
"Holier Than Thou" attack on the Re

| such as white bread, potatoes, rice,
| partly 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 individ
| ual, the Transformation of the starch
| into 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 un-
| til under such conditions the whole
| lower part of the alimentary canal, in
| Guiding the colon and the appendix,
| becomes involved. Disease sets up
and at times takes the form known as
appendicitis.
When the symptoms of the trouble
make their appearance, would it not
be good, practical, common sense, to
discontinue the starchy food which is
causing the trouble and take a food
in which the starch has been trans
formed into form of sugar in the
process of manufacture?
This is identically the same form of
sugar found in the human body after
u.
Now, human food is made up very
largely of starch and is required by
the body for energy and warmth.
Naturally, therefore, its use should be
continued, if possible, and for the rea-
sons 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 ap-
parently only the knife will avail. But
1t 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 way to prevent disease by fol-
lowing natural methods and for per-
fecting food that contains no "medi-
cine" and produces no medicinal eff
fects" but which has guided literally
thousands of persons from sickness to
health? We have received during the
years past upwards of $4,000 letters
from people who have been either
helped or made entirely well by fol-
lowing our suggestions, and they are
simple.
If coffee disagrees and causes any
of the ailments common to some cof-
fee users quit it and take on Postum.
IL white bread. potatoes, rice and
other starch foods make trouble, quit
and use Grape-Nuts food which is
largely predigested and will digest,
nourish and strengthen, when other
forms of food do not. It's just plain
old common sense.
There's a Reason for Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
