Chinese Laundry Ticket Suggested
 Bet on "Wing Ting"

Kay Spence, a well-known horseman of Mexico, Mo-, won $1,000 at the Louisville, Ky, race meeting short time ago as the result of "hunch." MT. Spence has 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. It was Ch1- 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 it, for he considered he had re- ceived "hunch" that could not be overlooked Wing Ting won handily. Needless to say, those who backed the favorite considered Spence the sev. enth son of the seventh son.-Kansas City Star.

Colt Brinqs $15,O00.

New York, Oct-Herman Duryea, the wealthy sportsman, has paid $l5,- GOO for the yearling colt Strike Out by Griffon- -Pillardex, as the result of fast trial by the horse at Sheeps- head Bay track last Sunday. The horse went a quarter in P 2-5 seconds and several horsemen who saw the trial. among them MT. Duryea, asked for a price on the colt. MT Duryea secured the prize. The cost was pur- chased by Fred Burlew in the yearl- ing sales of the summer for $700, and gives promise of being one of the big prizes of the lottery of yearling sales. His sire, Griffon, has hitherto not at tained much prominence in the stud, but he was a good winner in England.

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 a healthy individ- 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 in which the starch has been trans. formed into a 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, it's use should be continued, if possible, and for the rea- sons given above it is made possible ln 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 im- 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 25 1000 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 it 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 and will digest. nourish and strengthen, when other forms of food do not. It's just plain old common sense.
 There's Reason for Postum and Grape-Nuts.

BeIIinq 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 it's 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. It 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 harmonica to another rats tail, the rodents would have had dance every night.

The "Moun6 City."

St. Louis rejoices in the sobriquet of Mound City from the fact that the original settlers found there many elevations which it is supposed were relics of that strange people who dwelt in the Ohio and Mississippi val leys and are known to modern times only as the Mound Builders. No ade- quate explanation has yet been found of their strange mode of leaving memorials of their existence. The limestone bluffs on which part of St. Louis stands furnish solid foun- dation for the business buildings.

Sixteen Killed in Wreck.

Shrewsbury, Eng, Oct.-A train made up of passenger coaches, bound from Scotland and the north of Eng land to Bristol, left the rails as it was entering the station here at an early hour Tuesday morning. Sixteen per sons, including 10 passengers, were killed, and many were injured. The London and Northwestern Railroad, on which the train was running, curves sharply as it hears Shrewsbury, and there is standing order that the engineers must not exceed speed ot 10 miles an hour at that point. DIS regard of this order is believed to have been the cause of the accident. The engine and all the cars, with the exception of the last, left the rails, and when the official from the rail- road station reached the spot the cars were a tangled mass of wreck age, beneath which were the injured. Fortunately, the wreck did not catch fire. and the doctors and the salvage crews which soon reached the scene did not have this added danger to fight in the darkness and pouring rain, which, however, retarded the work of rescue, and several hours elapsed be- fore the last body was taken out. Tha killed included the engineer and fire. man, and the guards and postal clerks, who were in the mail car immediate ly behind the engine.

A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of well-known Religious paper, has written regarding the controversy be- tween Golfers Weekly and the Re- ligious Press of the Country and oth- CTS, 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 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 Hers has finally run against a solid hickory Post" and been damaged in it's own estimation to the tune of $750,000.00."
 Here is a 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 uncontrad dicted 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 it's rat tied head against this Post and all the World laughs. Even Christians smile, as the Post suddenly turns and gives it back dose of it's own medicine"
 Tt is mistake to say all the World laughs. No cheery laugh comes from Golfers, but it cries and boo hoos like a spanked baby and wants $750,00000 to soothe it's tender, lacerated feel ings."
 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 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 we'll 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 "yellow' methods to attract attention to itself, but, jumping in the air, cracking heels together and yelling Look at me- wouldn't suffice, so it started out on a 'Holier Than Thou" attack on the Re ligious Press and on medicine.
 We leave it to the public now, as we did when we first resented Golfers attacks, to say whether, in a craving for sensation and circulation, it's at tacks do not amount to a systematic mercenary bounding We likewise leave it to the public to say whether Golfers, by it's own policy and meth

A Roller Cotton Gin.

MT. Hodgkinson, of England, an in. ventor of merit, will soon put into op- eration in Charlotte roller cotton gin to take the place of saw gins. The process is different from the saw gin, which cuts the line from the seed Tn roller gin presses or twists the lin from the seed, and it is claimed that the staple is much better and will bring perhaps 2 cents per pound more than cotton which is ginned by the saw process. The roller gin is used in India and Egypt where the staple is finer and needs careful handlipg.

Rachel, aged 12, wrote an compo- sit;ca on wild flowers in which she praised the arbutus, the liverwort, the spring beauty, the blood root, and all of the other blossoms of dell and dale. But she wrote on both sides of her sheet of paper, and when sne asked her father, who was an editor, to publish her article, he called her attention to that fact
 You've written on both sides of your paper" said he.

The Nav of the Child.

A small boy who had recently passed his fifth birthday was riding were asked the customary question: "How old is the boy?" After being told the correct age, which did not require a fare, the conductor passed on to the next person.
 The boy sat quite still as if ponder ing over some question, and then, concluding that full information had not been given, called loudly to the conductor, then at the other end of the car: And mothers 31!"

"BOO-HOO" Shouts a Spanked Baby.

ods, has not made itself more ridicu- lous than any comment of ours could make it.
 Does Golfers expect to regain any self-inflicted 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 it's defamation, or does it hope for starting campaign of libel suits to silence the popular in- which it has aroused.
 Golfers can not dodge this public controversy by private law suits. It 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 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 it's 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 fit that person. Therefore, why change?
 But to the man or woman who is ailing, we have something to say as a result of an unusually wide experience in food and the result of proper feed ing.
 In the palpably ignorant attack or us in Golfers, appeared this state. ment,-"One widely circulated para graph labors to indnce the impression that Grape-Nuts will obviate the ne cessity of an operation in appendi citis. This is lying and potentially deadly lying"
 In reply to this exhibition of-well let the reader name it, the Postum Co. says:
 Let it be understood that appendi citis results from long continued dis turbance in the intestines, caused pri marily by undigested starchy food

The trlbesmen who recently attacked French col umn at Udja also are reforming and preparing for another attack. In re- port from Rabat, the correspondent of the Matin says the etremity of Sultan Abdel Aziz is worse than was at first thought. He has only money for three days, and if France does not come to his aid financially he will be forced to disband his army and shut himself up in Rabat

The farmer who pulls the blades from his corn at once checks the growth of the corn and the ear does not have the power of utilizing the juices in the stalk. It is a great loss of corn to pull fodder. Cut the stalks and the stalk is then intact, and the ears will continue to enlarge for ten days after the corn has been in stalks.
