upper stomach, but passes on into the doudenum, or lower stomach and in- testines. the transformation of the starch into a form of sugar is com- pleted 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, including the colon and the appendix, becomes Involved. Disease sets up and at times takes the form known as ap- pendicltis.
 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 is causing the trouble and take a food in which the starch has been transformed into a form of sugar in the process of manufacture?
 This is identically the safe form of sugar found in the human body after starch has been perfectly digested.
 Now, human food Is made up very largely of starch and is required by the body for energy and warmth. Nat urally. therefore, it's use should be continued, if possible. and for the req sons given above it is made possible in the manufacture of Grape Nuts.
 In connection with the change of food to bring relief from physical dis turbances. we have suggested washing out the intestines to get rid of the immediate 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 it IS a well established fact among the best physicians who are acquainted with the details above recited. that preventa- tive 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 med icine" and produces no medicinal ef- fleets" but which has guided literally thousands of persons from sickness to health? We have received during the years past upwards of 25.000 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 Gny of the ailments common to some cof- fee users quit 1t and take on Postum. If white bread. potatoes, rice and other starch foods make trouble, quit and use Grape-NutS food which is largely predigested and VIII digest, nourish and strengthen, ~hen ether forms of food do not. It's just plain old common sense

A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of a weIi-known Religious paper. has written regarding the controversy be- tween Golfers Weekly and the Relig- ious Press of the Country and others, including ourselves. Also regarding 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 a debt of gratitude for your courage in showing up Golfers Weekly as the sYell-Oh Man. Would you care to use the incIosed article on the Boo Hoo Baby as the 'Yell-Oh Mans success sor?'
 "A contemporary remarks that Col 1 Hers has finally run against solid hickory Post" and been damaged in its own estimation to the tune of $780, 000.0O."
 A Here is a 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 insults 1t makes the mistake of wandering into a fresh
  this Post and all the World laughs. Even Christians smile, as the Post suddenly turns and gives it back dose of its own medicine"
 Tt is a mistake to say all the World laughs. No cheery laughs comes from Golfers, but 1t cries and boo hoos like . spanked baby and wants $750. .OO0.00 to soothe its tender, Iacerated feelings"
 Thank Heaven 1t has at last struck a man with back bone enough to call a spade a 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 a mass of letters and other data, news paper comments. etc. denouncing the 'syeIlew" methods of Golfers. This snot well go thru 1t under half a days steady work. The letters come from various parts of America.
 Usually a 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, pumping in the air, cracking heels together and yelling Look at me" "aolier Than Thou" attack on the Re- ligious Press and on medicines.
 We leave 1t to the public now, as we did when we first resented Golfers att lacks, to say whether, in a craving for sensation and circulation, its attacks do not amount to a systematic mercen- ary bounding. We likewise leave it to the public to say whether Golfers, by It's own policy and methods, has not

 Does Golfers expect to regain any self Inflicted loss of prestige by de- monstrating thru suits for damages that 1t can be more artful in evading liability for libels than the humble but resentful victims of its defamation, or does 1t hope by starting a campaign Of libel suits to silence the popular lndig- nation. reproach and resentment which 1t has aroused.
 Golfers can not dodge this public controversy by private law suits. It 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 court

 No announcements during our entire business career were ever made claim ing medicinal effects" for either Pos- tum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal effects are results obtained from the use or medicines.
 Thousands of visitors go thru our entire works each month and see for
 themselves that Grape-Nuts contains
 absolutely nothing but wheaS barley and a little salt; Postum absolutely
 nothing but wheat and about ten per

 art of preparing these simple elements in a scientific manner to obtain the best

 work and experience to acquire.
 Now, when any publication goes far enough out of its way to attack us be-

 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

King and Queen of England sufferina
 from Deafness.

King and queen Of England Suffering from Deafness. New York Oct. 7.-Three sets of ai : tificiR1 hearing instruments were shipped to Buckingham Palace. Lon don. Saturday says The Times today, for the use of King Edward and Queen Alexandra.
 The latter has long suffered froia deafness. but the fact that King Ed ward Is hard of hearing, 1t is stated. will be great surprise to the public generally.
 The instruments have been made so as to enable the King and Queen to talk together without the use of a trumpet or horn.
 The transmitter or sound key will be attached to the clothing of the royal couple. The sounds are focused on the concentrator in the same manner that the rays of the sun are focused by means of an ordinary reading glass. At this point of focus is played a su- persensitive microphone, which takes up the focuses, are magnifled sounds and conveys them to the ear by means of a small silk covered tjnsel cord, through which an electric cur- rent is conveyed by a small battery to an ear piece, which Is held to rhe ear. The batteries are carried in the pocket. being about three inches high and an inch and a half in diameter.

Assistant Secretary LattF Has Started Out to Find the President, But
 So far Has Not s4s ssS & Succeeded.

Stamboul. Oct. 7--Assistants Secre- tary Latta started out early today to find the President at his camp in the wilderness, but at late hour tonight had not returned. It is presumed that when he arrived at the ramp the Pres ident was out on his hunt, and that Secretary Latta found 1t necessary to remain over night. He took number of personal letters to the President
 Mir. Latta was accompanied by his host. Leo Shields, who is familiar V ith the country. Except that the temper ature is too great to render physical exercise enjoyable. the President is having favorable weather. Previous to his arryial there had been no rain for weeks and the conditions were most unfavorable for hunting. the breaking of the dry twigs giving warning to the game of the approach of its foe and the hard surface being very trying to the feet of the hunting dogs.
 Indeed, some of the dogs the Presf- dent Is using were recently so dis abled by this condition that they came near being unit for his use. The Pres ident's proverbial good luck was. how ever, with him in this as in other mat ters a gentle rain was falling when he arrived at Stamboul on Saturday, and there has been two or three showers since. None of them have been of great duration but they have we'll served the purpose of putting the for est in the best possible condition for both man and beast in stalking game True. the atmosphere is steaming hot between showers, but the President is reported to be showing himself capa- ble of rising quite superior to this condition; indeed, so far, neither rain nor heat has been permitted to inter- fere with his sport. If the. reports which trickled into Stamboul may be relied upon his entire bearing is that of a man determined to enjoy himself regardless of conditions, even though they be adverse
 While he is prepared for rough work, he is also equipped for as much comfort as one can get under the cir cumstances. The camp ground ds well-located, and while on low land Is not in swamp. the site being com paratively dry. Persons who have seen the tent say it Is well-furpished. There is not only a plank floor. but wooden walls running up four or i've feet from the ground. The table Is liberaliy supplied with fruits, canned deIicacies and. so far, has been sup piled with fresh venison- The Presis dent commands the services of Jack Powell, a colored man. who is locally celebrated as the best camp cook in the country.

ca and provision has been made for as complete messenger service as may be necessary It Is evidently the inten- ton of the President to cut out all routine work, except such as may be absolutely necessary.
 Secretary LAtta's quarters are fitted up Tor any official service he or the President may be called upon to per- form. but the telegraph office at Stam- bout IS a mile or two distant.
 The temporary executive office Is in large frame cottage, and 1t requires no stretch of the imagination to call it the White House. A telegraph opera tor has been sent In from St. Louis. and he occupies an office in a freight car on the side track which Has been ftted up for the accommodation of the President.
