Found Nail in His Skull.

A remarkable discovery was made
by the surgeons of Williamsburg Hob
pital while they were operating on
the skull of William v. Albright, who
fell from the elevated structure being
erected across the Brooklyn plaza OF
the Williamsburg Bridge. The sur
geon came across q hard substance
imbedded in the skull and a closer ex-
animation disclosed it to be the head
of a nail. It proved to be a nail fully
three inches long, which had penes
trated the brain.
The associates of Albright say he
has had a remarkable career since he
became an iron worker. He has had
several 80 and 40 feet falls, and one
81 foot fall from a New Liverpool
bridge. One time he fell 100 feet
from a bridge in Pennsylvania into
the water and was nearly drowned be-
fore hauled ashore.-BrooklyR Eagle.

Gate City Votes Bonds.

Greensboro, Specialize quietest
election ever known in Greensboro
was held here when the citizens were
called upon to vote on the issue OF
bonds amounting to $125,00O to pay
off the floating Indebtedness of the
city. The election was easily carried,
there being only 8 votes cast against
the issuing of the bonds. So slight
was the interest manifested In the
election that only 518 out of the 1000
qualified voters registered, and 500 of
these cast their votes in favor of the
bond issue, while it required only 261
votes to carry the election.

Bonds Garry at Newhern.

Newbern, Special. - The special
election held here Tuesday for a bond
issue of $4,000 for street improve

majority. The vote was light, but the
result was unequivocally in favor Of
better streets. The provisions of the
ordinance adopted were relative to
sidewalks, but it is believed that an
appropriation viii be made in the fu-
ture providing for the future pave
ment of streets. The majority was
333 votes. The campaign was very
quiet. Many citizens realizing the in-
p~ortance of the step regard this as
the step toward a substantial munici.

joieing.

A Doctor Of Divinity, now Editor OF
. weIl-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 re-
garding 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
"Yell-Oh Man" Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the boo
Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Mans"
successor"
"a contemporary remarks that Col
lier's has finally u against a solid
hickory "Post" and been damaged in
its own estimation to the tune Of
$750,O00.0 co."
Here is a publication which has,
In utmost disregard of the facts,
spread broadcast damaging state
ments about the Religious Press and
others and has suffered those false
statements to go uncontradicted, I'M
til, not satisfied after finding the Re
ligious Press too quiet, and peaceful,
to resent the insults, it makes the
~eistake of wandering into a fresh
field and butts its ratified head
against this Post and all the World
laughs. Even Christians smile, as
the Post suddenly turns and gives
it back a dose of it's W. medicine"
at is a mistake to say all the
World laughs. No CHEEKY laugh
m from Golfers, but it cries and
boo hoos like a spanked baby and
wants $750,000.00 to soothe its ten
der, lacerated feelings"
"Thank Heaven it has at last
struck a man with "back bone"
enough to call a spade a 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 it is
on file in our Office and is only one of
a mass OF letters and other data,
newspaper comments, etc., denounc-
ing the yellow methods of Golfers.
This volume is so large that a man
could not well go thru it under half
days steady work. The letters
come from various parts of America.
Usually a private controversy is
not interesting to the public, but this
is a public controversy.
Golfers has been using the "yel-
low" methods to attract attention to
itself. but, jumping in the air, crack
ing heels together and yelling %Look
at me" wouldn't suffice, SO it started
out on a "Holier Than Thou" attack
on the Religious Press and on medi-
cines.
We leave it to the public now. as
we did when We first resented Col
lier's attacks, to say whether, in a
craving for sensation and circulation,
it's attacks do not amount to a sys-
tematic mercenary bounding. We
likewise leave it to the public to say
whether Golfers, by its own policy
and methods. has DOT made itself

more ridiculous than any comment OF
ours could make it.
Does Golfers expect to regain any
self-inhicted loss of prestige by dem
o~nstrating thru suits for damages,
that it al be more artful in evading
liability for libels than the humble
but resentful victims OF its defama-
ton, or does it hope by starting a
campaign Of libel suits to silence the
popular indignation, reproach and re-
sentiment which it has aroused.
Golfers can not dodge this public
controversy by private law suits. 1t
can not postpone the public judg-
ment against it, That great Jury, the
Public, will hardly blame us for not
waiting until we get a petit jury in
a court room, before d~enouncing this
prodigal detractor Of Institutions
founded and fostered either by indi-
viduals or by the public, itself.
No announcements during our en-
tire business career were ever made
claiming medicinal effects" for either
Postum or. Grape-Nuts. Medicinal
effects are results obtained from the
use of medicines.
Thousands of visitors go thru our
entire works each month and e for
themselves that Grape-Nuts contains
absolutely nothing but wheat, barley
and a. little salt; Postum absolutely
nothing but wheat and about ten
percent of New Orleans molasses.
The art of preparing these simple ele-
ments in a scientific manner to OBJ
tain the best food value and favour,
required some work and experience to
acquire.
Now, when any publication goes
far enough out of its way to attack
US because our advertising is "med-
ical," it simply offers a remarkable
exhibition o. ignorance, or worse.

But to the man or woman who is

known as appendicitis.
When the symptoms of the trouble
make their appearance, would it not
be good, practical, common sense, to

In connection with this change Of

washing out the intestines to get rid

But it is a well-established fact
