The "YeII-Oh" Man
 And One of His Ways

To call a man a liar seems rude, so
 We will let the reader select his own
 term.
 Sometime ago the Manager of :"Col-
 Hers Weekly" got very cross with us
 because We would not continue to ad-
 vertise in his paper.
 We have occasionally been attacked 1 by editors who have tried to force US
 to advertise in their papers at their
 own prices, and, on their own condi- | tions, failing in which We were to be
 attacked through their editorial col
 umns. The reader can fit a name to
 that tribe.
 We had understood that the editor
 of Golfers was a wild cat of the Sin
 clair jungle bungle" type, a person
 with curdled gray matter, but it seems strange that the owners would descend
 10 using their editorial columns, yell | low as they are. for such rank out and
 out falsehOods as appear in their issue | of July 27th. where Int editor goes out
 of his way to attack us. and the reason will appear tolerably clear to any read. CT who understands the venom behind lit
 We quote in part as follOws:-"One | widely circulated paragraph labors to ! induce the impression that Grape Nuts will obviate the necessity of an oper- ation in appendicitis. This is lying. and, potentially, deadly lying. Simi- | lariy, Postum continually makes ref
 erence to the endorsements of "a dis | tinguished physician" or "a prominent health official" persons as mythical | doubtless, as they are mysterious" | We do not hesitate to reproduce these
 nendacious falsehoods in order that it
 may be made clear to the public what ! the facts are. and to nail the liar up
 so that people may have a look at him.
 If this poor clown knew what produced ! appendicitis. he might have some | knowledge of whX the use of Grape Nuts would prevent 1t. Let it be un- | derstOod that appendicitis results from | long continr~- disturbance in the in- : testines, caused primarily by undigest-
 ed food. and chiefly by undigested starchy food. such as white bread, po- | tatoes, rice. partly cooked cereals. and
 such. These lie in the warmth ana
 moisture of the bowels in an undigest-
 ed state. and decay. generating gases. anu ilIAlaAllS lut lilLtOuS SuIldttS ull- til under such conditions. the lower
 part of the colon and the appendix be- come involved. Disease sets up. and 1 frequently. of a form known as appen- dicitis.
 Now then. Grape-Nuts food was
 made by Mir. c. w. Post. after he had
 an attack of appendicitis. and required some food in which the starch was pre- | digested. No such food existed: from his knowledge of dietetics he perfected the food; made it primarily for his own use, and afterwards introduced it to the public. In this food the starch is | transformed by moisture and longtime cooking into a form of sugar, which is easily digested and does not decay in the intestines. It is a practical cer- | tainty that when man has approach | ing symptoms of appendicitis. the at 1 tack can be avoided by discontinuing all food except GrapeNuts. and by properly washing out the intestines. Most physicians are now acquainted
 with the facts. and will verify the statement.
 Of course this is all news. and should be an education to the person who
 writes the editorials for Golfers" and
 who should take at least some train ! ing before he undertakes to write for the public.
 Now as to the references to "a dis tinguished physician or "a prominent
 health official" being mythical per sons" We are here to wager Golfers Weekly" or any other skeptic or liar,
 any amount of money they may care to name. and which they will cover.
 that we will produce proof to any
 Board of Investigs tors that we have never yet published an advertisement announcing the opinion of prominent
 physician or health official on Postum or Grape Nuts, when we did not have
 the actual letter in our possession. II can be easily understood that many
 prominent physicians dislike to have their names made public in reference
 to any article whatsoever; they have
 their own reasons, and we respect those reasons. but we never make men,
 ton of endorsements unless We have
 the actual endorsement. and that state ment we will back with any amount of money called for.
 When a journal wlfullv prostitutes
 it's columns. to try and harm repu- table manufacturer in an effort to force him to advertise. it is time the public knew the facts. The owner O. editor of Golfers Weekly cannot force money from us by such methods. POSTUM CEREAL CO, Ltd.
