HAVE CRAZE FOR FORMULA.
Smokers Follow Fashions In the Use

win Booth" said the man with
southern accent, THAT is the third
man who has asked for that kind OF
tobacco to-day" said the dealer. ut
Ia strange that people from remote
parts of the country as well as New
Workers make a fad, of buying the
same brand Of tobacco that Booth
smoked. And it isn't always the Booth
mixture that they want. l have filed
away the formulas for mixing the
favorite tobacco of many famous per-
sons. Smokers the country over have
heard of this collection of recipes and
one feature of every mans trip to
New York Is to try a pipeful Of some
big mans favorite tobacco. In most
cases this special mixture is so
strong that the nerves of the average
smoker cannot stand 1t. He has to
give up after few pipefuls and go
back to popular mixture, but he has
the satisfaction of having had the ex.
perience. The New York Sun.

A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of
q 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
"Yeil-Oh Man." Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the boo
Hoo Baby" as the "YellOh Mans
successor"
"a contemporary remarks that Col
Hers has finally run against a solid
hickory Post" and been damaged in
Its own estimation to the tune of
100000"
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, 1t 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 a dose of its own medicine"
ut is mistake to say all the World
laughs. No CHEEKY laugh comes from
Golfers. but 1t cries and boo hoos like
spanked baby and wants $750.000.00
to soothe its tender, lacerated feel
ings."
THANK Heaven 1t has at last struck
a man with back bone" enough to call
a spade spade" and who believes in
telling the whole truth without fear or
favor"
= Perhaps Golfers with its utmost
disregard for the facts may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless 1t is
on file In our office and is only one of
q 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 well go thru 1t under half a days
steady work. The letters come from
various parts Of America.
Usually private controversy is not
interesting to the public, but this is a
public controversy.
K 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 1t started out on a
sHolier Than Thou" attack on the Re->
lgious Press and on medicine.
We leave 1t to the public now, as we
did when we first resented Golfers

Beilinu a Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid house Of
rats is to catch one and fasten 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 it
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.

WHEN A "HUNcH" HELD GOOD.
Chinese Laundry Ticket Suggested
Bet on wing Ting"

Kay Spence, well-known horseman
of Mexico, Mo-, won $1,000 at the
Louisville, KY, race meeting short
time ago as the result of "hunch."
Mr.. Spence has a large breeding
stable of runners" near Mexico, and
attends all the big racing events in
the country. Not long since he was
in Louisville and entered the betting
ring to see what odds were being Of
fered on the various entries. He
found that joaquin was the favorite
at even money, and pulled his wallet
from his pocket, intending to bet on
that horse. His attention was at
tracted by something that fell from
his wallet to the ground, and he stoop
ed and picked it up. 1t was a Chi
nese laundry ticket. He looked at
the books" again and found that there
was an entry with a Chinese name
Wing Ting. at ten to one. That set
tied 1t, for he considered he had re-
ceived "hunch" that could not be
overlooked. Wing Ting won handily

lous than any comment of ours could
make 1t.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
self-infiicted 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 its defamation,
or does 1t hope for starting campaign
of libel suits to silence the popular in
dignation, reproach and resentment
which 1t 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

claiming medicinal effects" for either
Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal eff

Thousands Of visitors go thru our
entire works each month and see for
themselves that Grape-Nuts contains
absolutely nothing but wheat, barley

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

quired some work and experience to

Starchy food is not digested in the
upper stomach but passes on into the
duodenum, or lower stomach and in
testines, where, in healthy individ-
ual, the transformation of the starch
into form of sugar is completed and
then the food absorbed by the blood.
d. But IL 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 I'M
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 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 he

sons given above it is made possible
in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts.
In connection with this change of
food to bring relief from 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
1t is 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 way to prevent disease by fol-
lowing natural methods and for per-
fecting food that contains no "medi-
cine" and produces no medicinal ef-
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

lowing our suggestions, and they are,

In the local yards from being stolen. the
Southern Railway Company has resoued
to the expedient of locking engines 10
tracks for the purpose Of saving them
from molestation by mischievous boys.
These facts were testified to this morn
ing in the police court by Master Me-
chanic Kaderly who was a witness IN
the case OF George Brooks, charged with
stealing brass belonging 10 the company.
Kaderiy declared that nothing having any
value could be exposed in the yards or
about the roundhouse without the risk
OF its being stolen. Thieves, he said. APP
peared TO be on the alert 70 grab anything
that they could get their hands on. The
master mechanic asserted that so much
trouble had been caused by boys in at
tempting 10 start engines standing in The
yard that he had made about seventy
five chains with which to fasten the To-
comotives 10 the tracks.
Brooks was arrested by Officer Ben At

obtained information that Brooks had
sold a quantity of brass to junk dealer.
in his own behalf the accused acknowl-
edged that he had sold the property, but
asserted that before IL came into his pos
session it had been thrown on a trash
pile by the company. 1t was testified
that the brass was worth about SIS
Brooks was sent 10 Jail for sixty days.
