DDS, has not made itself more ridicu-
lous than any comment OF ours could
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 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
diguation, 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, the Pub
lie. will hardly blame us for not wait
ing until we get a petit jury in court
room. before denouncing this prod
igal detractor of institutions founded
and fostered either by individuals or
by the public, itself.
No announcements during our entire

Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal ef-

Bellinq a Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid a house Of
rats is to catch one and fasten a 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 II
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 a harmonica
to another rats tail, the rodents would
have had dance every night.

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 a form of sugar is completed and
then the food absorbed by the blood.
But if the powers of digestion are
weakened, part of the starchy food
will lie in the warmth and moisture or
the body and decay, generating gases
and irritating the mucous surfaces nm
til under such conditions the whole
lower part of the alimentary canal, m
GLIDING 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 1t not
be good, practical, common sense, to
discontinue the starchy food which is
causing the trouble and take food
in which the starch has been trans
formed into a form of sugar in che
| process of manufacture?
This is identically the same form OF
sugar found in the human body after
Now, human food is made up very
