Visitors Have to Pay for a Ticket
Merely to Go on the Platform.
In Spain the railroads do not lose a
chance to make a little profit, ever in
the case of the n~on-travelers. When
you e somebody off in that country
you must pay for the privilege.
The railroads all sell billetes de an
ten, which are good for the platform
only. These cost generally five CEN
limos, equivalent to a cent in Ameri-
can money.
Just why this is done it is hard TO
see, because persons entering a train
cannot very we'll avoid the conductor,
who is always making trips to inspect
the carriages. If a person attempted
to steal a ride in a carriage ne would
have a small chance Of getting away

between the point where he was dis
covered and the point where tickets

such as white bread, potatoes, rice,
partly cooked cereals and such.
Starchy food is not digested in the
upper tomach but passes on into the
duodenum, or lower stomach and in
testlnes, where, in a healthy individ-
ual, the transformation of the starch
into a form of sugar is completed and
then the food absorbed by the blood.
But it 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 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 perfectly digested.
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 rom 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
it 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-
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 we'll by fol-
lowing our suggestions, and they are
simple.
If coffee disagrees and causes any
OF the ailments common to ONE cof-
fee users quit it and take on Postum.
If white bread, potatoes, rice and
other starch foods make trouble, quit
and use Grape-Nuts food which is
largely pr%edigested and will digest.

forms of food do not It's just plain
old common sense.
There's a Reason for Postum and

CHAPTER v.
Father and Son.

Sir Mark rockingham felt that his
Farmer Crawford had taken in was
the child Mrs. rockingham, tramping
the country as Mary Wilson, had de-.
serted, there could be no possible
doubt. The detective had traced her
movements with the child from place
to place through the casual ward regis
tiers.
Again he looked keenly at John
Wilson, and saw his own features re-
iected in the face that a dissolute
criminal life had left its mark upon,
but which still bore certain strong
characteristics of the Brettinghams.
Heaven help me! This is my elder
SOM" he thought, as he turned a white
face to Harold.
Let them go, father" said the lat.
ter. in a low voice. Il am satisfied.
1t is only of you l think"
Don't be afraid for me, Harold re-
piled Sir Mark; Il shall be brave.
Now l want you to leave me alone
with these men. Go to your mother.
She is alone"
The young man rose. His fathers
word vas his law, and he offered no
! remonstrance.
Il am satisfied, Mr.. Hank" said Sir
Mark, as the door closed behind his
younger son, that you have per-
formed your task faithfully. My So
licitors will be instructed tomorrow to
settle the matter of account between
us"
Then he turned to the old farmer.
Mr.. Crawford" he said, Il am your
debtor. You took in a child out of
charity-you brought him up and he
robbed you. On behalf Of his relatives
who were ignorant of what had hap.
pened, must ask you to accept a sum
which will at least reimburse you"
The old farmer drew himself up
proudly.

"BOO-HOO"
Shouts a Spanked Baby.

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 it's
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
"Yell-Oh 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
lier's has finally run against a solid
hickory Post and been damaged in
its W estimation to the tune of
$750,000.00.
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 unc%ontradicted until, not satisfied
after finding the Religious Press too
quiet, and peaceful, to resent the in
suits, it makes the mistake Of wander
ing into fresh field and butts it's rat
tied head against this Post and all the
World laughs. Even Christians smile,
as the Post suddenly turns and gives
1t back a dose of its own medicine"
1T is a mistake to say all the World
laughs. No CHEEKY laugh comes from
Golfers, but it cries and boo hoos like
a spanked baby and wants $3.50, 900. 90
to soothe its tender, lacerated feel
ings."
Thank Heaven it 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 it is
on fle in our office and is only one Of
a mass OF letters and other data, news
paper comments, ETC., denouncing the
yellow" methods of Golfers. This
volume is so large that a man could
not we'll go thru it 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, jumping in the air, cracking heels
together and yelling Look at me"
wouldn't suffice, so it started out on a
.Holier Than Thou" attack on the Re-
l1g1ous Press and on medicine.
We leave it to the public now, as we
did when we first resented Golfers
attacks, to say whether, in a craving
Tor sensation and circulation, it's at
tacks do not amount to a systematic
mercenary bounding. We likewise
leave 1t to the public to say whether
Golfers. by its own policy ant meth.

4, DDS, has not made itself more ridicu.
lous than any comment of ours could
make it.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
self-intlicted 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 it's defamation,
or does it hope for starting a campaign
of libel suits to silence the popular in
dlgnation, reproach and resentment
Which it has aroused.
Golfers can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. 1t
can not postpone the public judgment
against it. That great jury, 1.-THE Pub
lie, will hardly blame us for not wait
ing until We get a petit jury in a court
room, before d%enouncing this prod
igal detractor of institutions founded
and fostered either by individuals or
by the public, itself.
NO announcements during our entire
business caree 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 a scientific manner to obtain
the best food value and flavor, re-
qulred 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 a 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
h%ealthful 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 me-
cessity of IN operation in appendi-
citis. This is lying and potentially
deadly lying"
In reply to this exhibition of-well
let the reader name it, the Postum Co.,
says:
Let it be understood that appendi-
cltls results from long continued dis
turbance in the intestines, caused pri-
marlly by undigested starchy food,

"Seven-andtWenty years g a woman
slept in my barn and went off leaving
a child, a boy, behind her. 1 was for
sending the poor little mite to the
work house and putting the police or
TO look for the woman for deserving it.
But my missis was soft-hearted; she
was sorry for the Door tramp woman
and sorry for the child. We had none
of our own, and that was a great grief
to her. She persuaded me, as it would
be company for her to have a child to
bring up and look after. and she talk
ed ne INTO keeping the tramp woman's
child. My wife took to it from the
first, and in time the boy was looked
upon as part of our family.
when my wife died | kept him
and treated him we'll for her sake.
But he turned out bad from the first.
He didn't take to farming. He got in
with a bad lot, I heard afterward. At
any rate, when he was going on for
twenty he stole some money from me
and went off, and l saw any
more Of him. One day, when | was at
a horse fair about thirty miles way
from my farm. | met a man who used
to work with me when John Wilson
was young. He told me it was in the
papers as a young chap named John
Wilson was up at the police court for
forgery, and he had been committed
for trial-a young soldier. l had heard
as John had enlisted, so when the trial
came OF | went to the court and l
saw John in the dock, and | heard him
sentenced to penal servitude. The
John Wilson l heard sentenced is the
young man sitting by me now, and
that's all I've got to say"
Sir Mark listened to the farmers
simple narrative. and felt that he was
listening to an honest mar speaking
the truth.
There is only one question | have
to ask YOU" he said. "a year or two
after you DOL this boy in, a firm Of
solicitors put an advertisement into
a number of newspapers, asking for
information as to a child who had
been deserted by its mother. Several
people must have known of your hav-
ing adopted a deserted child. Did no
one mention the advertisement to
you?"
The farmer shook his head. 81 never
heard of It" he said; but that is not
to be wondered at. Me and my missis
didn't read papers very often, and our
farm was right away from the main
road In a lonely sort Of place. Dur
hands as knew about our taking the
child in all lived round about. and
most of 'em weren't scholars enough
to read papers in their evenings. OF
course, things be different now. If I'd
heard as inquiries we're being made I
should have given Information. You
may be sure of that"

John paid no attention to his cry and

They got their seats all right within

Orioin of Cards.

The origin of cards lies far back in
the hidden antiquity of Asia, no record
so far having been found to unravel
the source. 1t was from the distant
Orient that cards, along with chess,
were first introduced into Southern
Europe, Spain and Italy, especially.
The earliest of these cards have been
lost, unfortunately, and no record of
them preserved. But in no way were
