lous than any comment OF ours could
make it.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
self-intiicted 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 its defamation,
or does it hope for starting campaign
of libel suits to silence the popular in
dignation, 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 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
business career were ever made

Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal eff

Thousands of visitors go thru our

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

ments in a scientific manner to obtain

A Doctor Of Divinity, now Editor Of
q well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-

Iigious Press of the Country and 9TH
ers, including ourselves. Also regard
ing suits for libel brought by Golfers
against us for commenting upon its
methods.
These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.
1.-The religious Press owes you a
debt of gratitude for your courage in
showing up Golfers Weekly as the

lier's has finally run against Solid
hickory Post" and been damaged In
its own estimation to the tune OF
$750,000.00."
Here Is 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 the in
suits, it makes the mistake of wander
ing into fresh field and butts its rat
tied head against this Post and all the
World laughs. Even Christians smile,
as the Post suddenly turns and gives
1t back dose of its own medicine.
1T is mistake to say all the World
laughs. No CHEEKY laugh comes from
Golfers, but 1t cries and boo hoos like

BeIiine a Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to I'd 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 1t
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 harmonica
to another rats tail. the rodents would
have had a dance every night.
