such as white bread, potatoes, rice,
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 healthy fndivid-
ual, the transformation of the starch
into form of sugar is completed and
then the food absorbed by the blood.
But If 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
cluding 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 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 shnnld be
continued, If possible, and for the rea-
sons given above 1t is made possible
in the manufacture of Grape-Nats.
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, untli APP
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
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 some cof-
fee users quit 1t and take on Postum.
If white bread, potatoes. rice and
other starch foods make trouble, quit
and use Grape-Nuts food which is
largely predigested aud will digest.

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

A Definition of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien.
lists and the exponents of unbelief
benefited themselves or humanity at
large by sowing the seeds of doubt
broadcast in the world? The real SCI
entists do not fall in this category, for
they are believers in the real sense of
the word; they know too much, they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations of the Divine creative pow
er. Now, those who have disposed of
the Bible and all evidences of inspira-
ton, have written great many books
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac-
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful, but real
success means the benefit of human
ity in some form or other. If no such
benefits can be shown as the result of
their labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel
Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine.

DDS, has not made itself more ridicu-
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 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 1t has aroused.
Golfers can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. 1t
can not postpone the public judgment
against 1t. That great jury, THE Pub
lie, will hardly blame us fore 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
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 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-
quired 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
healthful person. His or her health
is evidence in itself that the bever-
ages and foods used exactly tit that
person. Therefore, why change?
But to the man or woman who is
ailing, we have something to say as
result of an unusually wide experience
in food and the result of proper feed
ing.

the veterans of the One Hundred and
Fffty-fifth Pennsylvania, as well as all
other veterans, recognize but one rank
and that is expressed by the term
"Comrade."
The student of history will have OBJ
served that the campaign that COM
menced May 1, 1864, was a continuous
one, ending only at AppomattoX, May
9, 1865. AT no time was the entire
army of the Potomac at rest At all
times and in the most unexpected
places the troops found themselves
the targets of the enemy. In fact,
the fighting was fast and furious until
the finish.
During Grants famous fianking
movements in May, 1864. many seri-
GUS, yet amusing, incidents took place
On one occasion, after marching all
night, the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth
halted for a few minutes in the gray
dawn for brief rest and to make
coffee. The boys of one of the com.
panies had kindled a fire with rails
from neighboring fence as fuel
Some with coffeepots and others with
fryingpans had surrounded the fire,
each seeking q convenient spot on
which to place his cooking utensil,
when suddenly, without a moments
warning, they were startled by the
distant boom of a cannon, and the
next instant shell struck their fire,
scattering rails and men in all direc-
tions, but fortunately injuring no one.
The only effect of the episode was to
elicit a hearty cheer from the boys
and general shaking of hands by
way of congratulation on their marvel
GUS escape.
On another occasion a few days
later a similar incident occurred in
another company, but with most de-
plorably results. The regiment had
halted after nights march to rest
and make coffee The boys had start
ed to make fire, and their coffeepots
were already steaming, when the sud
den boom of cannon smote their
ears and shell landed and exploded
right in the midst OF their fire, filling
the air with embers, cooking utensils
and men. The result was disastrous,
one poor fellow having his foot torn
of and several others being badly
shocked.
Had 1t not been for the occasional
Accession of squads of recruits the
ranks of the regiment would have
been sadly depleted by the constant
casualties of battle and the havoc
caused by disease and exposure.

One Hundred and Fifty-fift regiment
during the summer of 1864 was alusty
