The "Yell-Oh" Man
And One of His Ways.

To call man liar seems rude. SO
We will let the reader select his own
term
Some time ago the Manager of Col
lier's Weekly" got very cross with us
because we would not continue to ad-
vertise 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-
tons, failing in which were TO be at.

umns. The reader can AZ name to
that tribe.
We had understood that the editor
of Golfers" was a wild cat OF the
Sinclair Jungle bungle' type. a per-
son with curdled gray matter. Sut IL
seems strange that the owners would
descend to using their editorial col
umns, yellow as they are. for such
rank out and out falsehoods as APP

tolerably clear to any reader who
understands the venom behind it.
We quote in part as follows: --"One

We do Tot hesitate TO reproduce
these mendacious falsehoods in order

Now then. Grape-Nuts food was
made by Mr. G. W. Post. after he
had an attack of appendicitis. and
required some food in which the
starch was predigested No such
food existed; from his knowledge OF
dietics he perfected the food, made

afterwards introduced Il 10 the public
In this food the starch is transformed
by moisture and longtime cooking
into form OF sugar. which Is easily

that when man has approaching
symptoms Of appendicitis, the attack
can be avoided by discOnunuing All
food except Grape-Nuts. and by prop,
